Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25th November, 2019.

25th November, 2019.

Yes: it’s officially official.

I’ve got an interview in Billiricay, today.

In a convenience store.

I’m … 

I’m a little indecisive about it, I have to say.

The thing that’s causing the doubt?   Is simply the transport costs.

The place I’d be working is around the corner from the nearest station: and is right next to the bus stop.

That’s not the issue.

But given the nature of the shop … ?

The hours will mean early starts and late finishes.

Which means more frequent train tips, as the buses don’t finishes as late as the trains.

I think this is going to need thinking about … 

And leaves me hoping I get offered the job I was interviewed for, last week.

From Battle Sight Zero by Gerald Seymour.

And a song …

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

Have a good day.

*        Yeah, that’s near enough why I go to a barber’s, Olga: I’ve no idea how to do it myself!   And it’s funny you should mention the hair cut machine.   I read the novel version of the first Dalek story many years ago.   In an extra scene?   Ian gets his hair done by the TARDIS’s onboard haircut tool: which sounded like a mini version of one of those robot vacuum cleaners!   Now … about question five … … … … … … 

†        I think it should be an issue, Debbi: it looks like they’re getting used to things.   Oh, did I mention I re-watched World Enough and Time and The Doctor Falls, over the weekend?   That’s powerful stuff!
