Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-10-2019: Sydney Opera House

20th October, 2019.

Right … 

You’ve possibly realised I’m a film fan.

It’s not like I haven’t made it obvious, over the years.

Last night, though … ?

I managed to catch the Noel Clarke penned Kidulthood — my review’s here — last night.

Something I’ve not done?

Is a video version of these reviews.

I still haven’t, I think.

But, in the light of now being able to earn money on uploads?

Thought something could be helpful … 

~≈Ω≈~

In a sad bit of news?

A sad bit that I missed … ?

Is that Rick Loomis, founder of Flying Buffalo Games, has died of lymphatic cancer: after a long fight with the disease.

I’m saddened to hear that.

His company’s Tunnels and Trolls was my first role playing game: and the second one to be published.

It’s … 

Well, it’s sad to hear the man who’s company picked up the challenge of Dungeons and Dragons, and made the concept cheaper and easier to play, has gone.

RIP, Rick.

Let’s move on, shall we?

Here’s a thought …

“… the Sydney Opera House is a great architectural work of the 20th century that brings together multiple strands of creativity and innovation in both architectural form and structural design.”

From UNESCO’s World Heritage page about the Opera House.

And, as the House has a Mozart season on the go …?

This …

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

Have a good day.

*        Morning, Anne!   Oooh … I’ve got the video done for Halloween’s Teaser.   It’s looking good, if I do say so, myself.

†        Blimey, where do I start, Olga!   Yes: I did see the news about Franco’s body: it had me wondering why he hadn’t been moved a long time ago.   And, yes: I knew Carles Puigdemont and company were all over the place.   That bit honestly struck me as completely daft: turning Independence politicians into martyrs.   I’m a little more sympathetic to the cause, because of that!   As for asking?   My pleasure, Olga: it only seemed fair … (As for politicians?   Britain doesn’t have any.   After yesterday, we have a chimp’s tea party.)

‡        How IS the hand, Debbi?   Oh, and have you seen Kidulthood?   It’s rather good!
