Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19th November 2022.

19th November, 2022.

Yes: whilst I was watching Star Trek, last night?

The BBC — during its annual Children in Need appeal — announced that new Dr Who companion is to be played by actress, Millie Gibson.

And called Ruby Sunday.

Good luck to her.

Talking of announcements?

You can’t avoid seeing mentions of what Elon Musk is up to on Twitter.

Nor — if you’re keeping you eyes peeled — avoid fact that you can create polls on the site.

Yep: Elon’s made a poll.

Asking if Donald Trump should be allowed back on the platform.

I voted ‘No,’ so you know.

The man’s a liability!

At the very least.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        I’ve made the appointment, Olga: for the end of December.   It’s the nearest they could do, unfortunately!

        They’s not frozen taxes, as far as I can see: they’ve tinkered with the various thresholds: you’re now paying the higher rate if you’re earning less.

        I’m grateful I’m not an egg fan: Asda and Lidl’s are now rationing them … 

‡        I’ve seen the film, Debbi: I wasn’t stunned, unfortunately.   To be fair, I only had access to a preview version.
