Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-12-2018: Ozzy!

3rd December, 2018.


Yep: I really need a haircut, I think.

Hopefully?

I’ll be able to afford at: once I’ve had my initial batch of Universal Credit through.

We’ll have to see.

~≈§≈~

At ANY rate … ?

I’ve managed to catch last night’s episode of Dr Who: and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Which is an interesting little watch.

And one that seems to be getting a lot of discussion on Twitter.

Personally?

I like it: although it definitely seemed to be nodding at Coraline.

And possibly Slartibartfast.


At any rate … ?

It’s worth a watch.

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.
