Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th February, 2019

5th February, 2019.


Remember, a few days ago, that I got that ever-so-slightly odd call: apparently from BT?

And that I’d had trouble resetting my password from BT’s end: meaning I couldn’t access they’re recruitment site.

I actually managed to sort THAT out.

Partly by checking my passwords … and partly by deleting unused passwords from my Keychain.

And get back onto BT’s recruitment site as a result.

Filling in a form for a job, as a result.


I had a missed called, yesterday.

And a voice mail.

They’d like to talk to me about the position … 

Well, finally … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th February, 2018

5th February, 2018.

No, really, it’s true.

I’ve actually managed to see the Denis Villeneuve directed, Blade Runner 2049.

Last night, so you know.

Frankly, and for all it’s glorious imagery?

It’s just a bit too long: by about forty-five minutes.

There’s more: it occurred to me, while I was in bed — after I’d written my post, wouldn’t you know it? — that the focus of the plot was wrong.

It focuses on K — Ryan Gosling — in his attempt to find the impossible child of a replicant, in a quest to find his own identity.

When maybe it should have focused on Niander Wallace’s (Jared Leto) search for the same child.

Two hours and forty five minutes of Ryan Gosling wandering around looking bloody miserable … 

Could’ve had a lot more plot.

And a lot more villain.

Just as an extra thought: I’ve got the radio on: as ever.

Set to Radio 4’s Today programme.

Who’ve just announced there’s snow warnings for the southeast: something I’ve double checked with my weather app.

It’s true, there’s warnings.

I’ve looked out of the window.

It’s looking bleak …
