Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-10-2020: World Teachers Day

5th October, 2020.

Right … 

I’ve running on something of a lack of sleep.

Which is lovely: when you consider I’ve have a meeting with the Shaw Trust, at ten.

Yes. 

We’ve had a police incident, outside Tomlinson Court.

Late on a Sunday night.

One of my neighbours was watching: it seems someone tried kicking the door down.

I’m … 

Well … 

I’m not happy: I was in bed when it all kicked off!

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Edith†, Debbi‡ and my mother^ putting in their answers: with Olga  scoring ten out of ten, Edith and Debbi on nine, and Mum on seven.

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

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

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.”

Henry Adams.

And a playlist …

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

Have a good day.

*        It’s official, Olga: Cineworld had confirmed they’ll be closing their venues in the UK and US on Thursday.

It’s … well … I think a mixed VOD and theatrical release could have helped!   It’s something that’s going to get a mention in the next article.

Oh, there’s a few shelters.   I know one homeless chap called Martin: and he’s usually the person to ask about them.   As he uses them, he knows where they are and what they offer.   And has a rough idea of what the staff are like.   The trouble is, I don’t think my mystery visitor is homeless, per se.   The fact he had a bank card tells me he had a home address.   As far as I can tell, he was drunk: or on something.   At a guess he’d certainly need help from a drug rehab group.

Right at the moment?   I’m also wondering if he had anything to do with last night’s events.   My street’s having one hell of a year … 

The window is going to take a while to get repaired, I know that!

†        That a thought, Edith, I’ve got to put my towels through!   And some more t-shirts.   Thanks for reminding me!   (Remind me to tell you about my washing machine: it’s noisy!)

‡        Feel free, Debbi!   Every little helps!   Actually, have you managed to track down a copy of Des?   It’s quite something.   (I’m just grateful there doesn’t seem to be a Des Nilsen or Zodiac, on my street: we’re having a bad year as it is!)

And yes, it was cricket: they don’t score runs in baseball, do they … ?   Um … 

Presidential elections, and Summer Olympics?   I knew there was something about that question!   

^        They’re not that hard, Mum: Olga, Debbi and Edith usually do well.
