Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd April, 2020.

3rd April, 2020.


It’s officially official … 

I’m knackered!

But there you go: that’s the perils of late night blogging.

I’ve been watching Star Trek Picard, over the past few weeks.

Which, I should add, is a wonderful thing: last night’s episode was great to watch.

But boy … !

I know how to finish at silly o’clock!

And a song …


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

*        I’ll see what I can do, Debbi.   Mind you, I like the ten question ones!   At ANY rate, did you ever see The Wicker Man?   Or The Return of Captain Invincible?   There’s some singing, there!   (Actually, Name Your Poison was written by Richard O’Brien: of Rocky Horror fame.)

I love it when someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.

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.
