Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23rd December 2022.

23rd December, 2022.

Right … It’s officially Friday: and payday.

And … ?

Frankly, I’d like to go shopping, today: rather than leave it until tomorrow.

When — as it’s Christmas Eve — taxi prices are higher.

Unfortunately?

It’s raining.

We’ll have to see, I think.

And a song …

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

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        The accuracy doesn’t surprise me, Olga: biopic makers have to be accurate, or face criticism from someone.   And I think the makers of this had help from the estate.

        I’m not a Netflix subscriber, either: I can usually find stuff to watch, elsewhere.   But I’ve had a few offers to share.   (Netflix seems in two minds about it: especially as it means Stranger Things gets a wider audience.)

        And noise isn’t surprising.   I saw Battlestar Galactica in Romford, when it was originally released to UK cinemas.   The sound system at the place meant you felt those ships launching!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        No, no, it’s nothing to worry about, Debbi, I’m just planning ahead for October … … … …
