Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 31-7-2019: Fatboy Slim

31st July, 2019.

I have to confess … I had an interview, yesterday.

Which you’ll possibly already know.

It … 

Hmmm … 

You know, I couldn’t tell you if it went well, or badly.

I should hear, by next week.

Hmmm …

You’ve personally worked out I’m something of an Apple fan.

I’ve never exactly hidden that.

So I noticed the news that both they, and Samsung, have seen profits fall.

I’m no economics expert, I’m really not.

But can’t help but think Apple hasn’t done anything innovative since the iPhone, or the original AppleTV.

Here’s hoping.

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

Have a good day.

*        It’s one of those subjects, Debbi, isn’t it?   I think there’s arguments either way.   I can’t argue with the medical use: the positive research has been floating around a while.   It’s the recreational that bothers me … !   (And, yes, I have used it, myself … )

†        OK, Weapon of Choice is possibly my favourite Fatboy tune: and yes, Fatboy’s a Dune fan.   That “Walk without rhythm,” line has its roots in a quote on p.287 of the New English Library version of the book: where Jessica counsels Paul about travel through the deserts of Arrakis by saying “It’d have to be sounds without rhythm.”   The sandworms head for rhythms.   Brimful of Asha?   Is possibly Fatboy’s best known remix. Oh, and the girl in the video for Slash Dot Com … ?   Is left handed.   I notice stuff like that …
