Nik Nak’s Christmas Teaser — 25-12-2020: Christmas Day

Christmas Day: 25th December, 2020.

Yes: it’s officially Christmas Day.

And, to be honest?

I’m grateful I’m in a social bubble with my immediate family, and have somewhere to spend part of the day.

Some of the neighbours?

I couldn’t tell you what’s happening!

I can only hope they — and anyone who’s who on their own, this year — do well.

Happy Christmas, to them … and you.

~≈🎅🏻≈~

Oh, JUST as a thought … ?

I’m guessing there’s a few Dr Who fans reading this.

And who are probably going to be glued to the New Year’s Day episode, Revolution of The Daleks.

Well, it seems that — here in the UK — it’s going to be screened in 4k, on the iPlayer: as well as the usual range of other formats.

Which should make New Year’s Day interesting.

~≈🕰≈~

As a final point … ?   As BBC America’s got a kind of mention, there?

I’ve unsubscribed from BBC America’s Instagram, YouTube and Twitter feeds.

Because of the utter bloody TRAVESTY that is The Watch: their utterly wrong take of the works of Terry Pratchett.

Frankly, I think the producer should have been aborted at birth.

Or possibly shot.

Either way, I don’t want any of the publicity bumf for the damn thing on my timeline.

It’s got nothing to do with the Terry Pratchett novel I know and love.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 31-7-2020: Rum, Sodomy and the Lash

31st July, 2020.

Yes, Rollason Way had … an adventure … !

Rampaging aliens swept down the street, destroying cars, making mad, passionate, lingering love to innocent cats, and general causing havoc.

Whilst the Inquisition leapt out on people, interrogating them about their sofas, and vikings raided freezers.

On a more serious note?

We had a power cut.

Which didn’t last long, but, still … inconvenient … !

~≈†≈~

What didn’t help, from point of view?   Was being unable to phone UK Power Networks, who makes sure the power network doesn’t fall over.

Yes: O2’s STILL not providing us with a signal … as, according to the email they sent me last night, the tower’s been decommissioned … 

And won’t be back in operation until October.

Personally?

I’m disgusted.

And, frankly, grateful that the local press were interested enough to want to talk to me.

Lord knows when that story will run, if or when it will.

But I’d love to read it … 

~≈†≈~

The fact my dental appointment’s been moved to 11:40 … ?

Is a relatively minor point …

The Daily Teaser — 1-6-2015: The RUC

Oooooh, but that’s done me some good … !

I have to admit to happily being back at work: after a long time, job hunting.

All good!

And — of course — I’ve now got a part-time job at a local fast-food place.

I’m not complaining about that: or the hours, either.   We’ve a 16 hour contract, so it’s all good.

I’m not complaining about last week’s hours, either.   I had quite few of them.   It’s all overtime, basically.

Well, money, at any rate.

At any rate, I had a lot of hours, last week.

But boy, I needed my sleep, last night.

My day off today?   Is going to be the better for it.

Or, at least, it will … once I’ve gone shopping …
