Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18th November, 2018

18th November, 2018.

Yep: in amongst everything else?

It’s bin emptying day, today.

I’ve ALSO got a couple emails to do, job-hunting to be done … 

And confess I dropped of a couple of CVs, in Romford, yesterday.

Partly, I wanted the day out.

And partly?   I wanted to see how the Oyster I’ve got, works.

Seemingly?

Quite well.

So that’s that sorted …

*        Probably getting Dave Gorman in, could work, Olga: at least he knows about the Scientific Method!

†        I know you can, Debbi!   (It’s call Verde Vintage, and, conveniently, it takes Apple Pay.   Which doesn’t make up for the fact it’s at the top of THAT hill!)   And my pleasure, Debbi!   Nice to see fezzes and psychic paper lurking about.   And it looks like we’ve a satire about a Well Known Online Shop.   (Oh, the clipped mentioned Robophobia.   Last time I saw that mentioned was in The Robots Of Death.)
