Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th May, 2022

5th May, 2022.

Right … I’ve a longish day, today.

I’ve got to be in Chelmsford, this afternoon: as part of the Restart scheme the Job Centre’s got me on.

This morning?   I’ve got a Zoom weight management glass.

I’m looking forward to that: it’d be nice to see the gang.

In all that … ?   It’s voting day, today: we’ll have to see.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4th May, 2022.

4th May, 2022.

Yes: it’s a quiet Wednesday.

One with something of a quandary.

I’m due a phone appointment with my GP at some point, today.

I don’t know when: as they don’t give you a time.

I also need to go and get milk, and order some more of my diabetes medications.

I can’t afford to phone, not on my money!

What to do … ?

Apart from muddle through, somehow, I don’t know!

I have to admit, I met a politician, yesterday.

Over the past few years?   I’ve had a minor issue: of local political parties shoving things through my door.

Despite my asking the local parties involved?

At least one — the local Liberal Democrats — have ignored my request.

Despite the fact they had a list of addresses who’d asked not to receive leaflets.   I know that because I used to deliver for them, around here.

I was grateful that I caught Dominic Naylor, the local Liberal Democrat councillor that’s standing for re-election, delivering their most recent batch: yesterday.

I took the stuff out of the letterbox, pointedly ripped it up, handed it back to him … and politely — I hope! — told him I’d rather not have their stuff put through my door.

I wish him well, and wish him luck.

But hope that theatrical bit of bluntness makes my point.

I really don’t want political leaflets through my door.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-2-2022: Washington

3rd May, 2022.

Yes: it’s officially official.

Ronnie O’Sullivan’s won this year’s Snooker World Championship at the Crucible, last night.

Winning a record equalling seventh title.

I’ve got to admit, he was a bit of a diva at some points.

But?   Congratulations to him.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-4-2022: Catherine the Great

2nd May, 2022.

I’ve got To say, I was following the first half of the World Snooker Championship finals, yesterday.

Ronnie O’Sullivan is leading Judd Trump, 12-5.

In what was a … well, the BBC’s page on it calls it a ‘feisty’ first half.

For a start?   About three frames in, it took the Ref some ten minutes — including five minutes of arguing with Ronnie — to point the cue ball back where it was.

Ronnie also managed to have something of an argument with the Ref, later in the game.

Apparently, Ronnie made a gesture.

That … ?

And At least one re-racked frame?

Made for an interesting first half.

Despite Ronnie’s assertive behaviour?   He’s still 12-5 up.

And frankly?   I think he’s end up with a seventh title …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-5-2022: May Day

1st May, 2022.

Yes.   It’s May Day: and the day before the May bank holiday.

Which means, as every snooker fan on the planet will tell you, is the start date for the final of this year’s World Championship.

It’s Ronnie O’Sullivan, versus Judd Trump; and I’m literally left wondering … exactly how long it’s going to take Ronnie to win.

Not that I’m cynical … but he’s been the best player on the planet for some time.

Yesterday?   I mentioned Neil Parish: the MP spotted watching porn in the House of Commons.

And that I wasn’t sure if he should resign: and had been bloody stupid.

Well … he’s done the decent think: and resigned … 

Good — ha! — for him!
