Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22-8-2020: The Number 22

22nd August, 2020.


Hmmm … 

I think we can safely say YouTube’s still having issues.

For a start?

It’s taken a while for today’s Teaser video to upload!

Very slowly upload … !

Plus, of course, I’m wishing I’d taken more screenshots.


I could show you exactly the kind of weird and wonderful stuff showing up in my comments*!

Here’s a thought …
“Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions.”
From Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.
And some music …


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

Have a good day.




*        Sometimes the comments take a while: sometimes, they don’t.   I’ve uploaded today’s video … and, within minutes, it gets a comment from someone calling themselves Kali Shepard.   I don’t know who she is … but I’m deeply suspicious.


†        I’m thinking so, Olga!   YouTube’s giving me spam comments, today!


‡        You’ll possibly have issues, today, Trevor!

^        That it is, Debbi!   Oh, how are you with westerns?   Only I’ve been watching The Mandalorian …

I get similar followers on BlogLoving, so I just don't bother to check or follow anybody there. Oh, I spoke to the head of the radio station, and finally I'll be helping them today and tomorrow with some live connections. It seems that some of the events are being kept under wraps to share them virtually and avoid too many people turning up. I'll keep you posted.

It was good to see The Whirlwind come back 4 - 0 down in the best of 9 to win 5 - 4 to win the Worlds Senior championship.
