Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25-8-2025 — Nottinghamshire. (Ten Questions)

25th August, 2025: Nottinghamshire.

It’s officially Monday: and officially a bank holiday.

Which means?

I’m up … at a later time than usual.

As my weight management groups got the day off.

We’re back to normal, next week.

~≈🍰≈~

Just in case you’re wondering … ?

I’ve finally finished another Star Trek review: both the written and video versions.

I hope you enjoy it!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27-7-2025 — Norfolk and Chance (Ten Questions)

27th July, 2025: Norfolk and Chance.

Right … it’s now Sunday morning: and … ?

I’ve finally got some Star Trek reviews posted!

The written review of “Shuttle to Kenfori” can be found, here.

And here’s the video … 

Feel free to hit the ‘Like’ button!

In addition?

Paramount’s gone and released a sneak peak for season four.

Has Anson Mount had work done … … ?

~≈🖖≈~

Did I tell you I’m not usually a fan of Marvel movies?

I tend to prefer DC films: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, what-have-you.

But I did know there’s a new Marvel movie: Fantastic Four: First Steps, one that’s been recently released.

A film that got released on 25th July, of this year.

What surprised me — but shouldn’t — is simply how quickly it’s wound up on Pirate Bay … !

Apparently, the studio live-streamed it … in an effort to combat piracy*.

That worked … … … … … … …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-12-2024 — Berkshire

3rd December, 2024: Berkshire.

I’m officially getting old!

I saw a movie, on Sunday night: 1980s Hazel O’Connor vehicle, Breaking Glass.

And published both written and video versions of my review, fairly late.

This morning … ?

I find myself feeling bloody knackered: as a result of finishing the video version incredibly late.

Or, at least, more tired than I would’ve felt, ten years ago!

I’m getting old!

~≈🥱≈~

Oh … yesterday’s weight management meeting went well enough: I’ve lost weight.

Not much weight: but a nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat.

Or horse, cat, herring, banana, what have you!

The unfortunate thing?

Was that blood test I had afterwards.

It was a dead loss: that I’ve had to rebook.

I’d not drunk enough fluids for the phlebotomist to be able to do her job!

~≈🩸≈~

Elon Musk is lovely, and I want to fondle him.

Please insert a lot of irony into that statement!

Elon Musk is … probably several things: including all sorts of unprintable things.

But … ?

He’s got ministers thinking.

As Elon’s announced he wants to donate some $100, 000, 000 to Nigel Farage’s Reform party, ministers are now thinking of introducing a cap — or, at least, tightening caps — on foreign donations to British political parties.

Elon could probably, very easily, get around that: by setting up dummy companies, giving them money, and telling them to make a donation for him.

But … ?

In considering these caps, the government is at least showing it wants to be seen to be doing something!

~≈🤑≈~

I’ve JUST had a call from my landlords.

They’ll be sending a carpenter around on Friday, to do some work on my bathroom!

Yay!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-7-2024 — Hampshire.

15th July, 2024: Hampshire.

Mondays … !

You have to love them, don’t you … ?

No, really: it’s the fresh start of a whole new week.

Yes, before you ask, there’s a certain amount of irony, there!

Especially when you consider I’ve been up early, to go to my weight management class!

Ho hum!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16-6-2024 — Sussex

16th June, 2024: Sussex.

Sundays!

It’s officially Sunday!

Which means, of course, that we’re all filled with the joys of spring.

Yeah, right … !

At any rate … ?

I’ve finished both a written and video review of yesterday’s episode of Dr Who: and feel pleased about it.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-6-2024 — Dorset

1st June, 2024: Dorset.

Right then: it’s Saturday!

Which would normally mean frantically running around like a wild thing.

But instead?   This week, as others?

Means I’m going to be complaining about a late night: after reviewing the last ever episode of Star Trek Discovery.

Quite why it took forty-five minutes to upload?

I really don’t know!

~≈Ω≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16-5-2024 — Middlesex

16th May, 2024: Middlesex!

It’s officially Thursday!

And yes, we ended up not making a video: but playing silly games.

It’s amazing, the fun you can have on a boys’ night in.

~≈Ω≈~

Apparently?

Labour Party leader, Keir Starmer, is to make a speech, today.

In which he’ll announce the party will — in the upcoming election — make six pledges on what he’ll do if Labour win.

It sounds a lot like something Tony Blair did, back in the day.

It’s something that reminded me, then, of Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-four: and still does, today.

At one point, the book’s main character, has to re-write a newspaper article: one that saw a leader make a ‘categorical pledge’ to not do something … only to break that pledge a few months later.

Personally … ?   And as a result of reading the novel?

I can never hear the words ‘pledge’, or ‘categorical pledge’, from the mouth of a politician … without thinking the pledge will be broken, or ignored, the minute the politician get’s into office.

1st May, 2024: Staffordshire.

Do you remember, a few weeks ago, that I had space issues on my new Mac?

And had to call Apple as a result?

I had space issues on my new Mac, a few weeks ago and had to call Apple as a result.

But in the process?

Had to remove things from my regular Time Machine back-ups: as this seemed to be part of the problem.

I removed my iMovie and Photos libraries.

That came back to bite my proverbial, last night: as I accidentally deleted a whole pile of photo folders!

Oh, I’ve managed to reconstruct everything.

But?

That’s taught me a lesson!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30-3-2024 — Cheshire

30th March, 2024: Cheshire.

Well … It’s Holy Saturday … 

Which means … not a lot: to me, at ay rate.

Well … beyond the fact that — traditionally — we’re not supposed to eat hot cross buns — they’re for Good Friday — or easter eggs,

Not that I’m planning to have too much chocolate.

I’m diabetic: we’re supposed to keep sweeties to a minimum!

And … ?

We’re not supposed to have them until Easter Sunday!

Hey ho!
