Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th February, 2022.

11th February, 2022.

It’s Friday.

And, in the words of the old advert?

I’ve got that Friday feeling.

You have to love an advertising slogan.

Especially when they’re meaningless.

~≈🤨≈~

Oh, it’s Friday.

Which — obviously —means it’s the day after Thursday.

Which means it’s the day after mu nephew, Jude, uploaded his most recent video.

Feel free to hit Like and Share!

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        In that card’s defence, Olga?   It usually goes for around £20,000 to £50,000.   That particular card was an early edition version, that had been signed by the original artist: who I believe has since died.   The card itself is no longer in print: and hasn’t been since about 1995.   And, in terms of the game, is actually very useful: it lets a player do things a lot earlier than they otherwise could.   (The professional tournament rules for the game only let you use it, under tight restrictions.).  There IS talk that early players who had copies sold them, to pay their way through college.   So there IS some use to it.

        The meeting went well, cheers: the weight does seem to be going steadily downwards.   Today?   Back to the hygienists!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Yes: I’m the same with some TV shows, Debbi.   Which reminds me, now I’ve got Antlers out of the way, I can start getting the back log out of the way.   Star Trek Discovery looks good: as does The Book of Boba Fett.  (Temuera Morrison’s in that: he was unnervingly nasty in Once Were Warriors.)
