Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23rd August, 2019.

23rd August, 2019.

Yes: before you say anything.

I know I’m up early.

Incredibly early.

But that’s the breaks, I think.

Especially when you’re in a job that means you have to start at a very early time!

You’ve possibly worked out I’m an Apple fan: I have been for years.

But … ?

Even the best can have their moments.

Apple have introduced their Apple branded credit card.   Which is an interesting expansion of Apple Pay.

They’ve had issues, though.

Apparently, you can’t store it in a leather wallet.   Or in anything denim.

Otherwise, it’ll get discoloured.

Who’d’ve thought?   That the first thing you needed to get with an Apple Card?   Was a card condom?

Oy …
