Thursday 6 April 2023

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th April 2023.

6th April, 2023.


Yes: it’s now Thursday.

And I have to admit, I’m feeling mildly obsessed.

You’ll be aware I’m waiting to hear the results of a tribunal: that could involved a lot of financial help … and — possibly — some back pay.

I’m supposed to be told by post: and am expecting the letter by tomorrow at the latest.

In the meantime … ?

I’ve been obsessively, and repeatedly, checking my bank: to see if anything’s gone in.

It hasn’t.

I’m — understandably — obsessed: as, with the money I’m getting, any extra help is important.

I’m also wondering if it’s a possible sign of  Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: but doubt it … 

But also … ?

I’m thinking I may not have been awarded anything: the process is taking its time.

Anita Pallenberg, 6 April 1942 – 13 June 2017.
And a song …

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.
