Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-6-2025 — Internet Explorer

15th July, 2025: Internet Explorer.

It’s Sunday … 

And … ?

Lyse Doucet has just bee commenting on the conflict between Iran and Israel.

It’s says something, doesn’t it?

That the BBC’s international correspondent is commenting on a conflict … on a Sunday morning religious programme … 

~≈😐≈~

At any rate … ?

It’s Sunday … and I’m planning on going beck to bed.

Why … ?

I’ve managed to finish a review, late.

I just hope the review makes sense!

~≈🎦≈~

There’s a certain amount of irony doing the rounds.

There’s opposition to the current US president: leading to the No Kings protests.

There were a lot, yesterday: including one encountered by Old Peculiar regular, Debbi Mack.

Seeing the phrase ‘No Kings’?

Always gets me thinking of a line from some of Sir Terry Pratchett’s odder characters.

“Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna’ be fooled again!”

The Wee Free Men, Terry Pratchett.

Which potentially means protestors are supposed to paint themselves blue, and steal cows.

Go look up the Feegles, if you get the chance.

At any rate, the irony I mentioned?

Is simply this.

Many in the US were holding ‘No Kings’ protests … 

When the Charles 3rd, King of the UK … was attending the Trooping the Colour ceremony, to mark his birthday.

Heigh … ho … !

Sinners — A Review.

13th June, 2025: Sinners.

The Introduction.

What with one thing and another … ?

There’s things I’ve not done for some time.

Made mad passionate love, for example.

Climbed a mountainous hill in search of washing powder, as another.

Or even … had a shower.

No, I tell a lie: I had one of those, this morning!

But I’m burbling, aren’t I … ?

There’s a few things I haven’t done.

One of those?

Is watch a movie.

The last one I saw was Snow White.

So, having a little time on my hands?

I felt something different could be good.

The trailer that caught my eye?

Was for a film called Sinners.

I’m hoping two things, right now.

One?

That Sinners will hold my attention.

And two?

If it does, I’ll have this review finished by tomorrow night …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14th June, 2025

14th June, 2025.

It’s got to be said: I’ve had a late — ish — start!

For various reasons!

So if this post goes up late?

I have an excuse.

Just not one I’m going to admit to … !

~≈🕙≈~

Oh, one thing I DO know … ?

Is that I caught a movie called Sinners, last night.

I’ll have my review up, later.

But, just in case you’re interested?

Here’s the trailer: 

~≈🧛≈~

Ukraine … ?

Is a mess: there’s still a war on, and Russian troops on the ground.

But … ?

Israel and Iran are throwing missiles at each other.

I’m hoping they’ll have enough sense to negotiate some sort of deal.

My personal worry?

Is that they will escalate things.

Israel has nuclear weapons … and Iran is accused of having them.

Frankly?

I’d hate to see those used.

We know what can happen when they are …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13-6-2025 — Friday the 13th.

13th June, 2025: Friday the 13th.

Hmmm … 

It’s not often I wake up on a Friday, and find out there’s bombs dropping.

Thankfully!

Except, this morning … ?

I’ve woken up to find Israel is bombing Iran.

In order, the Israelis have said, to prevent Iran building a nuclear bomb.

I’m … 

I’m very aware that the US has pulled staff out of Iran, and wonder this:

• How much did the US president know in advance about this?
• Has he given his endorsement to Israel’s actions?
• How is Iran going to respond?

And, as I write?

Drones are going off in Jordan: on the borders of Iran, from what I’ve understood.

Things look hairy, right now.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12-6-2025 — The Philippines

12th June, 2025: The Philippines.

It’s official: it’s Thursday … 

And, on a personal level … ?

I’m expecting piece, quiet, solitude … 

And a certain amount of boredom!

I might just have to do something about that.

I’ve got movies in, and TV shows.

But might just end up thumb twiddling …
