Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27-11-2018: Lancashire Day.

27th November, 2018.

Yes: that’s enough of that, I think.

At least, enough of my singing!

As for news?

I don’t know that I, personally, have much.

I know that I’ve not heard — yet — from the company around the corner from me.

I HAVE had a brief chat with another agency: who are recruiting for an insurance company ten minutes bus ride away.

That’s something to keep my fingers crossed for.

I’ve also got an interview: for Brentwood’s soon to be opened Burger King.

One, frankly, I hope I don’t get.

Because?

Well, burger flipping’s a youngster’s game.

There’d be WAY too many irritating school kids lurking around.

And a constant diet of staff-discounted Whoppers?

Isn’t what you call healthy … 

~≈§≈~

Actually, talking of news … ?

I noticed this piece on the BBC’s new site, today.

About 18 year old gamer, Daniel Enrique Fabian.

Who’s been arrested and charged after committing rape …

That he stream live to the internet … 

OK … 

You want to rape someone, fair enough.

Don’t expect me to approve.

But to rape someone … 

And stream it live to anyone watching your channel?

Expect me to call you a bloody idiot.

*        Yes, I did read the cast’s a bit fluid, Olga!   Either way, I’m looking forward to more episodes.   (It got me thinking of Torchwood …)

†        It’s a fantastic episode, Debbi: Alan Cumming as James 1st And 6th?   Was absolutely riveting!   (And a complete loon!)
