Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28-6-2024 — Mel Brooks

28th June, 2024: Mel Brooks.

Right … it’s a Friday.

And, for once, this week?

I have very little in my diary: bar setting up a few bits and bobs!

Heigh-ho!

You’r possibly aware that — here in the UK — it’s election time: and that D-Day is next Thursday.

You possibly may not bet aware of some of the ins-and-outs … beyond the fact there’s a lot of parties to choose from.

Reform UK — led by former UKIP leader, Nigel Farage — are one of them: and are slightly more right-of-centre than I’m comfortable voting for.

Going by news from Channel Four, last night?

It’s turns out some of the party’s campaigners are even more hard right than we thought: with at least a couple making comments — on camera — that count as homophobic, racist, and lord knows what else.

As much as I’m not voting for Reform?

I’m willing to bet that some people in Brentwood — given those views — will.

Some folks in my home town can be a little bit nasty, like that.

Bugger!

He says, with all due respect to his readers!

I’m due an appointment, today.

From a gas engineer paid for by my landlord: who’s due to do a gas safety check on my boiler.

When I actually booked the visit?

I was convinced I had today off.

I actually double checked the rota, last night.

Yep.

I’m working today.

Yes: I’ve bought the correct train tickets!

And, yes: I’m going to have to send a few emails.

I’m going to have trouble making this!

Oh, just as a final point?

Just as a final point, I note Britain’s launched its newest aircraft carrier: the HMS Queen Elizabeth.

Which I seem to recall saw a lot of arguments about budgets.

It’s also got another potential issue.

Apparently, there’s at least one computer on there that’s still running Windows XP: an operating system that Microsoft no longer issues security updates for.

I don’t think it’s going to cause problems.

But all it takes is one smartarse to do damage to that one last system … !
