Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-5-2019: Dalí’s Car

11th May, 2019: Dalí’s Car.

Right, then … 

It’s officially going to be a day where I’m not doing … much … 

Well, bar the usual housework and jobhunting … 

And being smug about the fact I’ve done my nephew a tutorial about the door bell: as he couldn’t figure it out when I need to get back in on Thursday.

Can someone remind me to NOT forget my door keys.

While I’m at it … ?

Did you see this piece, on the BBC’s news pages?

Basically, in upcoming hearings about child abuse, a senior police officer has suggested boycotting social media sites: in order to try and force them to do more to combat online image sharing.

Hmmm … 

I have to confess, I can appreciate the thought.

On the OTHER hand?

I don’t think it’s going to necessarily work.

I think too many of us find Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and the associated free messenger services, useful to give them up: even for a good cause.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th May, 2018.

11th May, 2018.

Yep: I’m back to work, today: and frankly?

Kinda looking forward to it.

It gets me out of the house and — Ha! — earning!

Needs must, and all of that … !

Especially when there’s only so much you want to watch on TV.

Talking of work … ?

I know the office I’m in tends to NOT let people use USB sticks to transport files around.

There’s too much chance of them being lost: with sensitive work documents on them.   AND too much chance of them having unspotted malware: malware that can ruin a commercial computer system.

It’s fairly common, I’m told.

Which makes me wonder why IBM have announced they’re going to be implementing the same policy: starting from yesterday.

I mean … 

Haven’t they been doing it, already … ?

One last piece?

I’m a news fan: constantly having the BBC’s news channel, or Radio 4’s Today programme, on in the background.

I noticed, over the past few days, there’d been concern about singer, Scott Hutchison: who’d gone missing, seemingly in a seriously distressed state of mind.

With a police appeal being issued, last night, asking for witnesses who’d seen him on a bridge to come forward.

A bridge … 

I saw that and thought that sounded …ominous.

To me, it seemed obvious police believed he’d gone to that specific bridge, committed suicide by jumping from it … and they’d need people who’d seen him there, to confirm this.

So they could justify looking for a body.

This morning … ?

There’s been another item from the BBC’s website.

Police have found a body … 

The conclusion seems both obvious: and, as is often the case, deeply saddening.

My thoughts go to the singer’s family …
