Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-9-2026 — Yom Kippur

21st September, 2026: Yom Kippur.

Right … 

The inevitable Monday has swung around, again.

So, yes: that means I’m off to my weight management class, again.

Hopefully, I’ve lost weight down the back of the sofa!

~≈⚖️≈~

Inevitably, I’ve caught more TV, overnight.

Yep: I’ve caught two more episodes of Widow’s Bay.

The show’s Twin Peaks meets The Fog vibe, after hanging around in New England bars with King and Lovecraft, does make for something rather watchable.

The fact it’s winning gongs … ?

Is either incidental … or tells you something …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th September 2026.

20th September, 2026.

OK … it’s going to be a quiet Sunday!

At least I think it’s going to be quiet.

Hopefully, World War Three won’t start this morning: unless the 47th President does something incredibly stupid.

Although, now I see that written down … … 

~≈Ω≈~

I tried watching the first episode of Star City, the other night.

It … 

It’s well done.

But I found it very slow paced: and the colour palette contributed to a case of eyestrain that made me turn off after half an hour.

By contrast?

I caught the first episode of Widow’s Bay, last night.

With an atmosphere that mixed hints of Lovecraft, King, Jaws and The Fog, matched with a brighter overall colour palette?

I found it far more watchable.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-9-2026 — International Talk Like a Pirate Day

19th September, 2026: Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Right: it’s Saturday!

And?

It’s Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Which means, of course, I’m going to encourage you to talk like a pirate.

Which could be fun … !

~≈🏴‍☠️≈~

I’m also going to discourage you from something.

I’m going to discourage you from downloading and installing TorBrowser.

And discourage you from downloading and installing Transmission, or something like it.

If — if — you install the pair, I’m going to discourage you from visit sites like Pirate Bay, then using the files you find there with Transmission, to illegally download movies and TV shows.

Doing so can get you in trouble*.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18th September 2026.

18th September, 2026.

Can someone do me a huge favour?

Play this list to my nephew, Jude?

Just skip past “Plaistow Patricia”!

~≈♬≈~

Just as a thought … ?

I watched “The Eyes”, last night: the first episode of For All Mankind spin-off, Star City.

Or, at least, tried to.

I managed to watch the first half hour, at any rate.

I’ll be honest: I may have to try again.

But this first episode struck me as very slow … 

We’ll see.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17th September 2026.

17th September, 2026.

Ye gods: adverts are something else!

I suspect I’m like a lot of people I know: and have a habit of playing some of the sillier games on Facebook, to pass the time.

Or, at least, pass the time … while I’m waiting for a page to load.

I get ads thrown at me.

Who doesn’t?

There’s the usual: dodgy hard drives, second hand retails who’ll pay you cash for your unwanted stuff … 

And the inevitable ‘male enhancement products’!

Most of which are … um … well … inoffensive.

A few, a thankfully small few, aren’t.

They’re definitely not ones I want my nephew seeing: I’d never hear the last of it!

~≈💊≈~

Oh, I caught “Circle of Life”, the first episode of Slow Horse season 6, last night.

No, I’ll not be reviewing it.

But … ?

I think it’s worth watching it, if you can find it.

No: I’m not going to tell you to use Pirate Bay or other torrent tracking sites to get hold of it.

You can go straight to AppleTV, like everyone else!

~≈🍎≈~

Just as a last thought?

An old friend has pointed this post out to me: from former Dr Who girl, Anneke Wills.

Anneke Wills on recovering more Doctor Who episodes in Doctor Who Magazine: "I've heard a 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 hot whisper."

She’s heard what she calls a ‘hot whisper’: about potentially recovered Dr Who material.

I hope there’s something to that: it would be nice to see something!
