Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-6-2018: Garfield.

19th June, 2018

Yeah … 

Watching American Horror Story definitely leaves you with an ear worm or two.

Even if — in my case — you can’t actually sing them.

At any rate, and if you’re in the UK?

Do you remember those ever so slightly creepy Metz adverts back in the 90s?

The Judderman ones?

Yeah … 

That’s what I thought, the minute I clapped eyes on Gaga’s outfits …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18th June, 2018

18th June, 2018.

I think we can say I’m not a football fan.

No: really: I’m not a football fan: as I managed to mention in last night’s post about American Horror Story.

Roanoke is looking rather good, I should add: they’ve hideously slaughtered Kathy Bates, twice.

At ANY rate … I was making the point that I thought the first England games was on, tomorrow night: and made the point that — as I had the day off? — I wouldn’t be watching it.

Turns out I got the date wrong.

It seems the games on, tonight.

I still — hopefully — won’t watching it.

A)  I’m not a fan.
B)  I’m at work.

What more can I tell you … ?

~≈§≈~

Talking of productivity?

Which we weren’t, but you can see the drift, I hope.

The World Health Health Organisation has announced it’s adding video game addiction to its list of its list of mental health conditions.

Frankly?   Giving my own personal history, I’m very aware it’s something I need to keep an eye on.

I’m VERY aware getting hooked on something — from alcohol, to video games, to gambling — is not a good thing.

And can have a serious effect on health, and productivity.

American Horror Story — Series 6: Roanoke — Chapter 6, Chapter 7 and Chapter 8.

17th June, 2018

No: you’re right …

I’m not especially devout, either.

But … ?

I’m not a fan of football.

Quite what to point at, that makes me distinctly uninterested in the world’s national game … ?

I really couldn’t tell you.

Suffice to say …

Suffice?

Ha!

At any rate: I’m not one for the football: having grown up when BBC1 screened first division games.

And would delay delay Dr Who, if need be, when a game went into extra time.

Something that’s left me preferring to not watch the silliness if it’s on.

And not recognising a professional footballer should he walk into somewhere I’m working.

Which is true, actually.   We had Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock turn up at one pub I worked in, not long after he did I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

I thought he’d been on Big Brother.

And, equally as honestly?   I’d probably only recognise Vinnie Jones because he’s been in a couple of films I’ve seen.

Not because of his footballing career.

At any rate, the point I’m trying to make?

Is that I’m not a football fan.

And that, given I’ve a day off, during the 2018 World Cup?

I wasn’t actually planning to watch the games.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17-6-2018: Our Ken.

17th June, 2018.

Thai food … 

Yep: it was another family night out.

And, yep: at a local Thai restaurant: part off a chain called Lemongrass.

Something I have to admit I was slightly unsure of: as I’d never had Thai food.

I went with the relatively mild sounding Weeping Ang … Weeping Tiger … !

Basically?   Steak with tamarind sauce.   Kind of like a very sweet soy sauce, if you can imagine such a thing.

Hmmm … 

I THINK I was impressed: impressed enough to want to go again.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16-6-2018: Our Ford and Master.

16th June, 2018.

Yep … I’ve got the weekend off!

Tonight … ?   Actually seems me off at a posh (ish!) family meal: celebrating my sister, Anna‘s birthday.

At Brentwood’s only Thai restaurant.

Which looks good.

Although I HAVE to admit … I couldn’t tell you how to pronounce the names!

~≈§≈~

While we’re here … ?

Or, at least, you’re there, and I’m here?

You’re aware that I’ve been concerned about the possibilities of fire in my area: and others.

And seen the various fires reported by the BBC over the past few days.

The one today … ?

Is in Glasgow.

At the School of Art.

For the second time in four years: it, and the Mackintosh Building were being restored after that that last fire, and were due to re-opened next year.

It’s hard to see.

What’s harder … ?

Is the simple question.

“How did this happen … again?”
