Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17-10-2020: Eminem

17th October, 2020.

I am bloody angry … 

Remember me telling you about the situation with the mobile phone?   Because a local mast is down … ?

Well, I was sent the usual email summary from the various local rags, yesterday.

It’s seems it’s going to take longer.

Which, frankly, I hadn’t worked out!

The article saw a lot of councillors blaming the phone operators for the continuing black out.

Which is a little hypocritical, I think.

As it was the Council’s turning down plans for extra masts, in April … 

~≈😡≈~

There’s something else.

Remember the chap who slept on my doorstep, a couple of weeks ago?

My landlords … ?

Installed a bar over the lock of the main door: to stop people jimmying the lock to get in.

That stayed until yesterday.

When someone removed it.

I’ve sent a rocket up my landlord’s bums: AND tweeted it.

I reported an intruder to @ClarionSupport , a few days ago.

Clarion *had* installed a bar over the lock, to prevent people gaining entry by forcing the latch.

Today, I find it’s been removed

As you can imagine, I’m not happy.

I’m screamingly angry.

~≈😡≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Trevor*, Olga†, Mum‡, Edith^ and Debbiª putting in their answers: with Trevor, Olga and Debbi scoring five out of five, and Mum and Edith on two.

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video …

Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers

Here’s a thought …

“I’m not alone in feeling the way I feel.   I believe that a lot of people can relate to my shit — whether white, black, it doesn’t matter.   Everybody has been through some shit, whether it’s drastic or not so drastic.   Everybody gets to the point of ‘I don’t give a fuck’.”

Eminem.

And a playlist …

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

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Yes: it’s a worry, isn’t Trevor?   There’s not much change for me, as I’ve got a social bubble set up.

†        You mentioning your student’s issues gets me wondering, Olga: is she dyslexic?   That’d show up in written work.   One of my exes was dyslexic, which is what got me wondering.   And, not long after we split, I recall reading about a dyslexic child in Australia.   He was 14, at the time, had a reading age of 11, in English … and a reading age of 18, in Japanese.   It ties in with the Japanese alphabet, apparently.   I’d also wonder about how many native English speakers (yourself included) she’d deal with?   That might be a reason her colloquialisms aren’t good.   Hopefully, a lock in won’t happen!

As Trevor’s said, there a pile of new rules, here in Essex!

Oh, I’ve sorted out the formatting issue: switching from Paragraph to Normal gets the line spacing the way I want it.

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        That’s a rather nice singing voice you’ve got, there, Edith: betting than mine, certainly!   (Oh, did I mention Debbi and Olga have YouTube channels?   I don’t think any of us sing, though!)

ª        Yep: I’ve just seen it, Debbi!   The Tweet, rather than the episodes!   I’ve just got the next PhoenixFM piece, finished, so I’ll be watching it … as soon as I’ve got the article polished!

I think I missed that episode of The Avengers!

(Oh, you got a message, yesterday, from Edith!)
