Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-8-2019: Charlize Theron.

7th August, 2019.

Right … 

I start the new job, tomorrow: so … I’m thinking there’s one or two forms I need to fill in.

Including filling the job centre’s change of circumstances form: AND put in for a Back to Work Grant.

(I’m good at typos: I initially wrote Back to Wok, there.)

At any rate … ?

It’s … looking interesting, right now.

~≈§≈~

Just so everyone knows … ?

I was at my uncle’s funeral, yesterday.

I have to say, it went well enough.

And think he may have been pleased.

It’s only the second funeral I’ve been to where there’s been so many people attending it, there wasn’t enough seats.

Literally, standing room, only.

That’s quite something … 

~≈§≈~

As a final point … ?   One I’ve been meaning to mention for a while, now … 

Last Friday, a man from Dublin was arrested in Dover: trying to smuggle sixty handguns into the UK.

He’s since appeared in court.

Every statement I’ve seen about this?

Tells me that various law enforcement bodies believe the guns are heading for “organised crime.”

Personally?

I think it was heading for dissident republicans: ones unhappy about a No-Backstop Brexit.

I don’t like that idea.   But can’t say I’m surprised.

And have to ask … 

How many other consignments have got through … ?

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?
