Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19th June, 2019

19th June, 2019.

Right … it’s officially official: I’m going to be looking after my nephew, this afternoon.

Which should be fun.

Although, frankly?

I’m going to have to see if we can’t watch something else on Youtube.

I don’t know about you, there’s only some much Slogoman and Jelly a body can take … !

Which reminds me … 

I’ll have to ask Ruth — Jude’s mother/my youngest sister — if we can connect her phone to my Mac.

We had trouble getting a video off of it: despite the fact Huawei’s connection software seemed to install itself.

Hmmm …

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*        Very good point about Daenerys, Anne.   But, if nothing else?   She got to the throne before anyone else.   And no-one else is going to sit on it, afterwards.   I do know there’s a prequel planned: it’s started filming, already … !

†        You know, I don’t know if they can do the tests inside, Olga^.   It would STILL leave me an issue of getting there and back!   Either way, I think I need to talk to my doctor about it, to see what’s what.

‡        Cheers, Debbiª, that’ll give me some space!   And good luck with it!   I have to admit, I read the Keith Moon Wikipedia entry.   Apparently?    When they filmed Tommy, Oliver Reed matched Keith Moon, pint for pint for pint.   Keith was wrecked by the morning.   Reed was unaffected.   I’d love to see the state of their livers … !

^        Olga, I seem to recall reading somewhere, that a sedative can disrupt sleep almost as much as too much alcohol.   I remember Anthony Hopkins saying when he was interviewed about his drinking: that his sleep patterns had improved, because he was falling asleep, rather than becoming unconscious.   I’ve not drunk, myself, for about 18 years: and knew exactly where he was coming from.

ª        The other thing I read in that article, Debbi?   Was that one of their tours only made about three hundred pounds, over all, in modern money.   A lot went down Keith Moon’s neck. An even BIGGER chunk got paid in insurance claims … … … … … … … … …

º        I can remember that — during the early 1980s — there was a lot of talk in the US: about triangular UFOs.   Then the US government publicly unveiled this weird looking aircraft.   That’s that one explained …
