Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17th November 2025.

17th November, 2025.

It’s official: it’s Monday morning.

And … ?

It’s off to my weight management class I go.

And, given the weather forecast’s told me it’s going to be cold?

I had a look at the weather forecast for today.

I think I’m going to need a jumper … 

~≈🥶≈~

I have to admit, I watch stuff on Youtube.

Granted, there’s only so many talking heads I can watch … but one video caught my eye, last night.

This one.

That tells how many people have taken to video piracy in the wake of a splintered streaming market.

How — given streaming services are becoming ever more fractured, and expensive — people are turning to other ways of watching content.

And how, given how streaming sites are removing content, many pirates see themselves are archivists, as a result.

Personally?

I can’t say I was surprised by what the video was telling me: especially the bit that says many pirates see themselves as archivists.

Given that An Unearthly Child, the first Doctor Who story, is still not available on iPlayer?

That there’s few other ways of watching these shows, other than pirate copies?

Are you surprised?

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17th November 2023.

17th November, 2023.

Right … I’m officially off to hospital.

For an official scan!

In — ha! — Basildon Hospital.

Hopefully, the buses won’t be too bad.

Governments … governments, governments … 

The current UK government?   Is possibly no worse — and no better — than any other.

And?   With an election due next year, at the latest?

Seems to be keen to look tough.

A recent news piece tells us that the government are planning cuts to the welfare system, to try to save money.

Or, at least, cuts to the various sickness benefits that I — amongst others — are applying for.

Which is worrying!

Another piece?

Tells us the Government is planning to introduce tougher sanctions for those of us who refuse work.

Which isn’t worrying.

It’s no more than an update of something the government already does.

The piece also tells us the government “… will also put additional staff in job centres to help claimants struggling to find work.”

Which isn’t news to me.

It’s something I’ve been aware of for at least a year!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17th November, 2018

17th November, 2018.

Right … 

It’s my first Saturday off since … 

Well, either last week, or for some time.

I’m … 

Well, there’s a lot of paperwork I still need to do: emails to send, applications to make, what have you.

I’ve got teaser videos to make: quite a few, actually, I’ve taken the chance to finish the rest of the months.

You never know, I might get lucky with the interview.

And need a ton!

~≈§≈~

It’s official.

I’ve got Radio Four on, at the moment.

The Today programme, so you know.

Get’s what’s being discussed?

It’s spelt B•R•E•X•I•T, just in case you’re wondering.

Frankly?

Given that fact the presenters have been discussion how there’s a cabal in the Cabinet, supposedly plotting an alternative Deal?

And ANOTHER group who are plotting a leadership contest, to try and replace her?

I couldn’t vote Conservative if you paid me.

But we have a PM who’s STILL not been knocked off her perch.

Does anyone want to ask if she’s been nailed there … ?

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17-11-2016

Sorry, sorry, you catch me yawning, there … !

But … ?

I’m now up and about … 

And have switched on the news.

Or, at least, Radio Four’s Today programme.

At it has to be said … 

I noticed that the most recent batch of dementia research shows that it’s true.

Our ability navigate decreases with age.

Quite how thois would contribute?   I couldn’t tell you.

Except I’m very aware that, in it’s early stages?   The various forms of dementia seriously impact navigation skills … 

Here’s hoping the research helps!
