Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-7-2017: Mozilla

OK, it’s been a media weekend.

Or, I should say, it’s going to be a media weekend.

First off?

I’ve just seen the trailer for Darkest Hour, the upcoming film about the evacuation of Dunkirk, during World War Two.

It has to be said, when I heard about it?

I wasn’t too sure about casting Oldman as Churchill.   He’s the wrong shape.

THEN I saw the trailer.

Yep.

I think I’m convinced … 

~≈Ÿ≈~

Something else that caught my attention?

Was this piece on the BBC’s news site.

Yep: the BBC will be announce who the 13th Doctor actor is, after the Wimbledon Men’s Singles final, tomorrow.

I’d love to see it live.

But I’m working.

Don’t no-one say a WORD!!!!!!!

I’ll also leave you with a thought …

“Mozilla believes both in equality and freedom of speech. Equality is necessary for meaningful speech, and you need free speech to fight for equality. Figuring out how to stand for both at the same time can be hard.”

Winifred Mitchell Baker, Chair of the Mozilla Foundation.

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s teaser.

Have a good day!

*        Well … it’s fun, Olga … ’til someone you’ve worked with turns up and starts singing Swagger Jagger^!   Looong story!   And good luck finding that printer.   I don’t think there’s a printer maker that does cheap replacement cartridges: it’s like razors, the cartridges/blades are where the money is.   (There’s places that refill ink cartridges, though: that’s a way to go.)

†        I hope the that’s Sam cropping up again, Debbi!   I’m looking forward to that!   (Could be interesting to see what those titles are, btw … )

‡           Cue the Music.

^        Ahem!
