Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22-10-2025 — Bankrobber

22nd October, 2025: Bankrobber.

Right … it’s official Wednesday morning … !

And, frankly?

I’m hoping the phone call I made — to a local food bank — will do any good.

Just as much as I’m hoping the application I put in, yesterday — for one of Southend Council’s prepaid debit cards — will go through.

The latter’s going to take a few weeks, I know that.

The food bank … ?

Is a different matter.

I’ll admit it: I’m overweight!

You’d possibly worked that out.

So, as a result of being overweight, I’m on a weight management course: so I can monitor how I’m doing.

And I’m on Mounjaro: partly to combat my type two diabetes, but also because the medication’s very effective at helping you lose weight.

I’ve also been on Ozempic/Wegovy and Trulicity.

Trulicity doesn’t seem as the other two named drugs: but that’s possibly a side issue.

The reason I mention this?

Is that I’ve seen the news that Novo Nordisk — the makers of Ozempic — have recently seen several members of their board hand in their resignations.

I don’t know what effects that will have.

I’m just hoping that won’t include supplies of both Ozempic and Mounjaro as a knock-on effect.

Here’s hoping …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21st August 2024.

21st August, 2024.

It’s officially Wednesday … !

And, frankly?

The day’s going to be quiet.

It’s official: I’ve no forms to fill in, no phone calls to make, no weight management class until after the bank holiday … 

And no invasive medical procedures planned for the immediate future.

Or laxatives!

That’s something to be thankful for.

But also means that — bar the earworms! — I’m going to be bored silly!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th June, 2023.

26th June.

Right … I’m up early, again.

Yes: it’s Monday, again.

Which means I’m off to my usual weight management class.

Hopefully, I’ll’ve lost a few pounds.

~≈¥≈~

Did I mention a new comic shop’s opened in Brentwood?

A new comic shop — Comic Book Heroes Villains — has opened in Brentwood.

I even managed to get a trade in.

I’m not totally sure I got the best deal: even though I ended up walking away with a vintage Target Dr Who book.

Underworld, if you’re interested.

At any rate?

I’m not totally convinced I got the best deal.

Had I been less rushed, I’d’ve possibly done more research into what prices I could’ve — or possibly should’ve — got.

And?

Something that hampered me, there, was simply the fact Comic Book Heroes Villains doesn’t have it’s own website.

Oh, they’ve got a Facebook page: and an Instagram account.

But nothing on the line’s of CeX’s uk.webuy.com site: where you can look up the price offered on goods you want to sell to the company.

Yes: I realise that’s a big ask for a company that only has two shops.

Running such a site costs possibly more money, time and effort, than a small company has.

But … ?

It’s something I know I would’ve appreciated seeing.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21st August, 2021.

21st August, 2021.

It’s got to be said, I’ve had a look out of the front door of the building: and the day is looking distinctly overcast.

With the BBC’s weather service telling us it could get wetter … 

That’s nice: it’ll make buying some margarine a pleasure.

He says, layering on the irony … 

~≈🌧≈~

I’m someone who likes a movie, occasionally: you might have noticed.

I might just watch one, tonight: we’ll have to see.

I do know, though, that No Time To Die — the much delayed James Bond film — is now getting its world premiere on 28th September: with a full release, two days later.

Frankly?   I’m looking forward to its VOD release.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a James Bond film.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21st August, 2020.

21st August, 2020.

Right … I’m officially happy … 

My video’s uploaded to YouTube, and the photo and video uploaded to this post.

Unlike yesterday: the Sylvester McCoy video upload was a car-crash!

I suspect the mess was linked to whatever caused Gmail’s issues, yesterday: but couldn’t say for sure.

Even so … 

~≈®≈~

At any rate … ?

I mentioned, a couple of days ago, that I had applied for a a European Computer Driving License Course.

I’ve got the assessment booked for it.

AND have an assessment for a work at home job, pencilled in.

Except, of course, I need a Windows-based laptop for both — one with a solid state drive, and an ethernet port for — before I do them.

In theory, I can claim funding for both from the Health and Work programme I’m on.

Which I’ve asked for.

Apparently … ?

My case worker’s referring it to management …

The Daily Teaser — 26-11-15: The Heist.

You know, I’m glad — at the mo — I’ve got the day off.

Frankly … ?

It’s raining.   Heavily.

So I’m possibly staying in.

Which is helpful, actually.

Mostly because I’ve got a blog: as I’m sure you’ve worked out, by now.

The free time means I can get some videos prepped up for the next few days.

It is — to use the old phrase — all good … !

~≈Ê≈~

The Daily Teaser — 23-10-2014: Uncivil Affairs

Right … 

That’s THAT done … !

You’ve possibly noticed I try and do stuff to keep myself occupied, don’t you … ?

The project for the past couple of days?

Has been to do stuff with the family laptop.

I’ve FINALLY managed to get some back up software installed — the free version of CrashPlan, which I’m told is relatively easy to use, for end-users — and I’m now looking at transferring my Mum and my older sister, Anna’s, stuff over to the external drive.

Once THAT’S done … ?   Well, once that’s done, we get done to the fun stuff, syncing up iPods, iPads and iPhones.

A big brother’s job is neither done … !
