The Daily Teaser — 4-4-2016

Blimey … 

I think I’ve started something.

Bless ’im, my nephew was over, yesterday: which was nice.

I’ve managed to get him interested in Sonic The Hedgehog, on the Apple TV.

Which will possibly get me in trouble: he managed to turn around and say “Mummy, can we get one of these?   I’m getting really good at this!”

Actually, while we’re ON the subject of technology … ?

My local Sainsburys … ?   Now has a record department.

Well, it’s got a stand with a lot of albums on.

Old fashioned, vinyl, LPs.

I’m … 

Well, I’m not sure WHAT to think.

But … ?

Well, frankly, it’s as if CDs never got invented!

And frankly … ?

£18•99 for a copy of Hunky Dory, when it’s on iTunes for £8•99, is a bit much!

You know, there’s TIMES … when my job is a pain in the orifice!

No, really!

Actually … ?

That’s possibly pushing it.

But I finish, last night, at twelve thirty: and got to bed at half one.

And — obviously — got up way too early!

I think I’m paying for that.

Or, at least, my eyeballs are.

Comparing the way they feel to red-hot curried ice cubes is possibly the nearest way of putting it!

That’s a thought … Did I tell you I’ve got a fourth generation Apple TV?

I didn’t … ?

I do.

 And I have to admit, the fact you can get the odd game for it … ?

Is rather good.

Especially when you consider Sega have recently released Sonic The Hedgehog for the device.

That, and the fact the hard to find — up until now — Sulk, by the Associates, has finally been released on iTunes?

Has made my weekend.

Now … 

Has someone got an Apple TV compatible game controller going begging?

I THINK I’m going to need one …

The Friday Question Set — 1-4-2016

Bleugh … 

I’m up seriously late.

No, really.

Late enough for this to qualify not as a Friday Question Set … 

But as a Saturday Question Set.

!

At ANY rate … ?

The Daily Teaser — 1-4-2016: April Fool’s … !

Now that’s not funny … 

I don’t know if you know it, but here in the UK, we’ve a tax called the Council Tax.

It’s a tax on every property in the UK: and is due to your local council.

My first payment’s due, today.

And, as yet?

I’ve not received the payment card that means I can pay it at any given PayPoint outlet.

I can pay it a couple of ways: I can use direct debit.   Or I can pay at my bank.

You’d THINK I’d be able to walk into my local council offices — just as far away from me as my bank — and pay cash, wouldn’t you?

You’d think I’d be able to walk into my local council, pay them the tax I owe, in cash … and then walk off to do everything else.

Wrong.   They don’t have the facilities.

They can’t afford them!

Whilst there’s other options, I’d, personally, prefer to pay cash at the council’s offices.

There’s bound to be others who like that: or pensioners who can’t get the hang of online payments, or people with no way of paying by direct debit.

And other who don’t — yet — have a payment card.

None of us can pay the council, the council tax we owe it … at the council.

Somewhere out there, someone thinks that funny.

I’m not one of them!
