Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th September, 2018

28th September, 2018.

Yes.   I’m decidedly knackered.

And, after asking around?

Have no extra shifts.

With no co-workers having any they need covering.

It’s frustrating … 

It’s ALSO something I’ve discussed with my agency.

They’d rather I stayed on — it is they’re income, after all — but are very aware that I’m …

• Not happy.
• Thinking of asking the job to lay me off.

It’s not everyone’s best option.

But, unless I get more hours?

Well … 

~≈§≈~

One NICE thing?

Is that we finally have both an airdate for The Woman who Fell to Earth … and a start time.

Doctor Who, series eleven, episode one, will be one Sunday, 7th October, 2018, at 6:45pm.

Well, finally … !

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Debbi* putting in her answers: scoring four out of five in the process.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video …

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

“I did it as a cooperative gesture. I took the cut over two months ago – 25%.”

Newsreader, Jon Snow†, born 28th September, 1947, on taking a pay cut.

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*        Top of the Pops 2 was rather handy, like that Debbi.   Unfortunately?   The’s show’s long since gone.   I think footage of it, and Top of the Pops, doesn’t get as much of an airing as it could.   Jimmy Savile … well … 

†      I’m‡ quoting the newsreader: NOT the Game of Thrones character!

You know nothing ChrispLOL ! I know because I am the bastard son of the King..he didn't know anything either! https://t.co/KACLHo962t

‡        Every time I see Ygritte, in Game of Thrones?   I keep thinking how much she looks like Bianca in EastEnders.   It’s hard to not shout ‘Ricky!!!!!!!!!!!’
