Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-10-19: The OJ Simpson Trial

3rd October, 2019.

Right … 

It’s definite: the stuff I’ve ordered from Amazon has now been officially despatched, and is on route.

And is due to turn up, by eight PM, tonight.

Here’s hoping …

If you’ve been listening to the news, today?

You’ll realise that Royal Air Force  pilot, Flight Lieutenant Mathew Stannard, is going to become the first RAF pilot to launch a satellite.

In a modified Boeing 747.

It’s going to be launching a satellite!

All good.

Except, of course, I’m one of many people who are aware of the Black Arrow project.

The UK’s cancelled satellite launching project from the mid sixties.

The one satellite we launched is still up there.

Yes: it’s nice we doing something.

But the something we’re doing is catching up: with Elon, Jeff and the rest of the gang.

When we should have been one of three nations leading the pack.

Let’s move on, shall we?

From the BBC On This Day entry on the case.

And a video …

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

Have a good day.

*        Oh, yes: fulfilment centres.   There’s so many comments we could make, Olga^!   As for the pods?   They’re not too bad: although I would have preferred a bigger gap between the chair and the table!   Saying that … ?   It was a nice experience, given the weather.   And, apparently?   They’re planning a few more.

†        I’m just hoping you’ll enjoy it, Anne.   It’s now officially done, so you know: emitted together, and audio added.   (There’s an add for Firefox that lets you download stuff from YouTube.   It’s handy for these situations …)

‡        They’re nice, Debbi^.   But cramped, if you’re built like me!   Still, they’re building more, it seems.   Hopefully, with more of a gap!

^        Drat!   I’ve got an earworm!
