Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th June, 2022

9th June, 2022.


Did I mention I like Marmite?

I like Marmite.   I usually find it economical to but big tubs of the stuff on Amazon.

You can’t get the tubs in the shops.

When the delivery turned up yesterday?   I thought that — given Jude’s posted a successful reaction video — I’d try my hand at something that’s getting equally as successful.



If I can persuade someone to react to it?

I’d be a happy bunny!

    Oh, I don't know about reaction videos or unboxing. Or even Marmite. I remember a friend of mine from Barcelona visited me when I was living there and bought some Marmite because they'd taught her about it in English. She and her husband both hated it. So I guess you either love it or hate it is probably true!

    I'll have to check out the Marmite unboxing.

    I'm reading a crime novel now that takes place in England. Marmite has been mentioned in the story at least three times, so far! :)

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
