Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25-12-2019: Christmas Day

25th December, 2019.


It’s official: today is Christmas Day.

And I, like many others, will be celebrating the day with my family.

It should be good: I’m looking forward to seeing how my nephew — he’s nine, tomorrow, if you wanted to surprise someone with an extra present — to the Christmas presents he’s been given.

Including the expensive one!

I’ve just managed to send one a link on how to set up a child’s account on the thing to my family.

Isn’t it amazing what you think of at the last minute?

*        I hope so, Debbi!   I know he’s got a copy of World Of Poo.   Can’t think where that came from.   Oh, did I ever mention Quora?   The question and answer site?   I have to admit, I got cheeky, with one question!


†        One radio presenter tried banning Fairytale of New York.   Personally?   I wasn’t impressed by that …

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
