Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-11-2020: Cambodia.

9th November, 2020.

Right … 

We have a dangling thingy … wossname … 

Door handle!

Which would be easy to solve: by reporting it on the website.

Except, of course, the website’s refusing to accept I’ve typed my name in!

Do you get the feeling I’m going to be phoning this in … ?

~≈®≈~

Either way?   It’s distracting.

Which isn’t the first time I said that about it.

I actually said it last night: when talking about Star Trek Discovery.

At any rate … ?

The series looks good.

Here’s a quote …

“Heir to the ancient Khmer Empire, modern-day Cambodia is benefiting from two decades of relative stability, having endured civil war and the murderous rule of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s.”

From the BBC’s Cambodia profile.

And some early 1980s pop …

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

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        You know, it’s starting to sound like one of the pipes needs serious replacing, Olga: replacing boilers really isn’t easy!   (It took my landlords years … !)

†        I don’t think I’ve got space for that many cookbooks, Trevor, let along any others!   I do know I’ve still got the original The Stainless Steel Rat lurking around: I’ve just checked.   I’ll have to see if I can get hold of the 2000AD version.   They do reprints, occasionally.

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        Actually, the chap that plays him turns up in Blade 2, Debbi.   He doesn’t sing, though.   Or scent mark the corridors.

ª        I think he blocked me, years ago, Edith!   Which is a shame: I always liked the idea of winding up a president!   (Actually?   I don’t think he’s seen this photo …)
