Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30-9-2026 — Max Verstappen

30th September, 2026: Max Verstappen.

Right at the moment?

This song is playing: 

Although, frankly … ?

There’s only so much of Funky Billy Chin I can put up with.

I might just change the record … !

A few days ago, intruders were spotted outside RAF Fairford, in Gloucestershire: in vans containing lots of petrol, rather than the originally reported explosives.

The RAF base is leased out to the US Air Force: and used by the USAF in their current action against Iran.

Understandably, security is heavy in and around the base.

I have questions.

One?

Why were the suspects bailed?

Apparently, this was in what police called an “investigative decision”, one that was “grounded in experience and strategy”.

Hmmm … 

OK … but I suspect keeping a group of terrorists off the street would be a good idea, but I’m not wearing the uniform.

Two … ?

Apparently, and according to The Times, one of the five suspects phoned an alert to the police, himself.

Why … ?

I have no idea!

But I’m wondering if the event — stunt? — was either some sort of training exercise: by, I don’t know, MI5, or the SAS.

Or, I don’t know, right wing idiots like Combat 18, paint throwing lefties like Palestine Action … 

Or — as suggested, earlier, on the Today programme — by a bunch of TikTok influencers trying to go really viral!

Which really wouldn’t surprise me!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th September 2029

29th September, 2026.

Why does that happen … ?

Why is it, when you wake up on a day you know to be Tuesday, you wake up convinced it’s Sunday … ?

Despite — despite — being aware it’s Tuesday, have double-checked it’s Tuesday, have done everything you can to confirm it’s Tuesday … and yet, it feels like Sunday … 

What on Earth is going on?

I wish I knew.

There’s possibly money in finding out … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28-9-2026 — The Czech Republic

28th September, 2026: Czechia.

Once more unto the weigh-in, once more!

Yes: it’s Monday.

So … ?

I’m off to my weight management weigh in.

Hopefully, I’d’ve los something.

Which would be nice: I’ve gained a few pounds, over the past few weeks.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27-9-2026 — Here In My Car.

27th September, 2026: Here In My Car.

Feet … 

Feet … !

My tumble dryer has feet: as many machines do.

Adjustable feet, I should add.

One of these days?

I’ll get around to adjusting the things.

The dryer don’t half wobble!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th September 2026

26th September, 2026.

Right … I’ve finally managed to track something down.

Yes: I’ve finally managed to track down toilet blocks.

Which is what I meant to get on Thursday: but totally forgot about.

Heigh … … … HO!

~≈🚽≈~

As an added extra, there … ?

I managed to find a couple of shops near the station that took PayPal payments: where, in theory, I could pay my rent.

One, the local Post Office branch, wasn’t somewhere I could explore, as I went during at a busy patch.

Another?

Would take the rent payment … but only as cash.

Which is inconvenient: I’d have to take the cash out at my bank — in the High Street — then walk to the Brentwood Station area with a lot of cash, pay at the shop … then walk back to the High Street to pay the rest of the bills, and get my shopping!

I think exploring other options my be an idea.

Including — finally — learning how to pay the rent online!

~≈🏚️≈~

Just as an extra thought … ?

The Tories have plans to prevent benefit seekers spending money on cigarettes and alcohol: by issuing benefits on pre-paid debit cards.

Similar to the cards offered by some charity schemes: that offer supplemental spending money to those in need.

The idea is that you spend the money on stuff you need: rather than on stuff you’re addicted to.

I’m sceptical about the plans.

From personal experience, I know you need to activate the things online: and only so many people I know are comfortable using a computer, a smart phone or online services.

I’m also wondering how you’re supposed to use the card to pay rent with the things.

Again, many would feel uncomfortable using it to pay online.

Or setting up the online scheme that tells the Department of Work and Pensions you want the Housing portion of your Universal Credit to go directly to your landlord.

And, frankly?

I know a few people with substances issues: who, I believe, would sell their cards to their nearest dealer … in return for Gods know what!

Assuming the dealers would take them in preference to cash.

Even on the alcohol and tobacco front, a user would need help to get off their substance of choice: so that the wouldn’t be tempted to use the cards.

As a supplement to paying in cash, these cards are fine.

They let you spend extra money: and use cash for other things.

But as a main source of spending money?

Like I say: I’m sceptical.
