Nik Nak’s daily Teaser — 20th September, 2018

20th September, 2018.

Yes: it’s Exciting Thursday!

It means we can sing, dance, jump up and down, and generally behave like gibbons.

Ha!

It always amazes me the amount of tripe I can dig up first thing in the morning!

~≈§≈~

Either way … ?

I’ve got the radio on, in the background: Radio 4, as ever, happily playing away.

And … ?

Apparently, the Prime Ministers of Malta and the Czech Republic have both announced they feel a second Brexit referendum would be a good idea.

Personally?

I like the idea.

Given I voted Remain in the original, back in the day, I’d hope that would be an option in any new vote.

But, if it does happen, I get the impression Remain wouldn’t be on the voting slip.

I’d rather it was: we as a nation made the biggest mistake of a generation in voting to leave.

And, frankly?

Anything that takes the decision out of the hands of politicians is a good idea.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-9-2018: Talk Like A Pirate Day

19th September, 2018: ye lubbers!

Yeah, blow doing that for a long time!

He says, eyeballing the Teaser video … … 

At any rate?

It’s Talk Like A Pirate Day.

So if you haven’t recorded a silly video and posted it somewhere … ?

Complete with a certain amount of corpsing?

I’ll be disappointed …

If you’re in the UK, you’ll possibly know that the British Board of Film Classification is the body that gives films a certificate: one that will permit it to play in cinemas across the country.

Something that can be changed by local councils.

And something that’s been done by a few councils: for a film called A Northern Soul.   Most of the councils concerned have given it a milder classification than the BBFC.

All well and good.

I’ll be frank, though.

It’s the first time I’ve heard of it happening in a while.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18th September, 2018.

18th September, 2018.

Yep: I’ve got a regret, again.

I would love a TV, with a bigger screen.

Especially when you consider I watched Solo: A Star Wars Story, last night.

Amazing stuff, I should add.

But … ?

The only regret I have about it?

Is my TV screen’s a bit too small!

It, and the rest of the recent Star Wars entries really do deserve a big screen!

~≈§≈~

I’ve also got to confess: I’m slightly jealous.

Of Japanese businessman, Yusaku Maezawa.

He’s been announced as one of SpaceX’s first Moon tourists.

I don’t know about you, but I’d love to be in Maezawa-san’s shoes!

Cash, hey … ?

Solo: A Star Wars Story — A Review

17th September, 2018.

Yes … 

I know I’ve possibly mentioned Japan — the band — before now.

In fact, I know I have.

But I’ll be frank, I like what I’ve heard of them: even those I’m listening to the seminal albums, including Quiet Life, some time after they were released.

What CAN I tell you … ?

Apart from “Enjoy ’em if you got ’em” … !

~≈§≈~

At ANY rate … ?

At ANY rate … 

I’ve had a night off.

One mostly spent laundering … laundering and making videos for the blog.

Pointless info, here: 30th September of this year marks Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar’s tenth birthday.

No, really: it wasn’t much of a post much of a post, but it went up on 30th September, 2008.

Which is ALSO something I wasn’t planning to mention.

No.

I was planning to tell you I’d seen a movie.

You’re right.

I’ve watched the Ron Howard* directed … Solo: A Star Wars Story.

I know it’s had some flack: but I liked it.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17-9-2018: Taking A Constitutional …

17th September, 2018.

Yes: it’s Monday.

And frankly, I’m in money troubles, already.

To be honest?

I’m having to send off a letter: to try and make sure I can keep reduced payments, reduced.

Wish me luck.
