Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th December, 2020.

6th December, 2020.

Yep: it’s Sunday.

With Radio Four’s Sunday Service on?

Someone’s just read out a poem about the founder of Welwyn Garden City.

Which … is definitely an odd experience, first thing on a Sunday morning …

Just as a thought for anyone expecting to see Dune, soon?

Apparently, it’s going to be released on 1st October, 2021: in a simultaneous theatrical and month long Video On Demand release.

On HBO Max, in the US.

Can I make a prediction, here?

It’ll be on torrent tracking sites like Pirate Bay on 2nd October, 2021.

I have to admit, I’ve just looked at the trailer for Dune … and, given Zendaya’s in it?

I now have Zendaya’s Swag It Out, ear worming through my head.

Oy!

And a song …

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

Feel free to share today’s video Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        It’d be interesting to see that, Trevor!

†        It’s a great read, Olga: and feels good, as well.   Kind of like … um … well, you’d possibly have to feel a copy: an Amazon review doesn’t quite catch that!

Bureaucracy’s a pain, isn’t it?   Laptops or certificates, bureaucracy’s a pain … !   Let’s have a tune, shall we?   

‡        Hello, Mum!   Are we still on for dinner?

^        If you’re a prat, Debbi, I’m 6’3” … !   :D   Sorry, that’s an old line!   I think what gets Ms McDermid is Sir Terry does a very good police procedural.   And sketch.   The password scene in Guards, Guards is something else … !

ª        There’re worth a go, Edith: Night Watch — and Nation — are arguably Sir Terry’s best works.
