Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-4-2022 — Brazil.


15th November, 2022: Brazil.


Right … there’s a good possibility there’s be videos, later!

For a start?

I’ve going to have my nephew, Jude, over, later.

And I’ll be posting a review of the next episode of The Abominable Snowmen.

Which looks good: and involves the return of the Ghanta!

Either way?

There’ll be video …

Let’s move on, shall we?

        Hello, Mum!

‡        Glad to hear it, Debbi!   (Remind me to recommend Nation, as well.   He was working on a steampunk London background, at the end, as an alternative setting to the Disc.   The Alzheimer’s really did do some damage.)

    I hope you have a great video day. I have to go to the radio station, and do some editing, although, thankfully, the actual editor of the programme will do one of the pieces, because I am not very fast at that. Fingers crossed that the recordings aren't too bad, because in places full of people, one never knows.

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.
