Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28-5-2020: Kylie

28th May, 2020.

Right …

Firstly?   In addition to a new potato masher?

I now have new teatowels!

Which is helpful.

Frankly, the old lot, however clean I tried to get them, were … well … stained … !

So new ones are welcome.

The email, on the other hand … ?

A couple of days ago, I saw an article or two on the BBC’s news site: about how schools and children’s care homes were having issues, sourcing computers and internet connections?

And how the unemployed were having similar issues?

One thing I have managed to do is write and send an email to Essex County Council.

At least, put in a Freedom of Information request about it.

I’ve also writing something similar that I could send to internet service providers: to see what they can offer to the unemployed.

Hopefully, I’ll get a quick reply …

Or, at least, quick enough to make something of the subject.

*        Oh, line numbering!   Got you, Olga!   I’ve just had a look myself: you’re right, it’s not there.   Pages doesn’t do it, either, which could be awkward for me.   But LibreOffice does^, you’ll be glad to hear: your students should be able to copy and paste from there into Google Docs.   As for the Ministry?   There’s still no sign of an international release!   Aaaaggghhh!   I swear, I’d camp outside TVE’s HQ … if I thought it would do any good!   And I’m glad I could help on the Youtube front.   As a final piece of sad news?   Larry Kramer’s died …

†        Play fair, Trevor … a lot of the time, that’s where punters would turn up late!   Ahem!   At any rate?   I’m glad the masher turned up: now all I have to do is wait for The Abominable Snowman!   And a jug.

‡        Oh, lord, yes.   Did you know the show’s destroyed Atlantis, twice, Debbi?   In The Underwater Menace, and The Time Monster?   As for The War Machines … ?   Actually, now I think of it, that could well have been the basis for the later UNIT stories.   (Oh, I hear the launch has had a setback … )

^        It’s in the Tools Menu on the Mac and Ubuntu version, Olga: it should be in same place on Windows.
