Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21st May 2023.

21st May, 2023.

Arrrrrghg … !

Bloody YouTube did it again!

Played Silly B˜ggers with a playlist.

I swear I’m going to heist to Vimo, one of these days!

~≈X≈~

At ANY rate … ?

It’s a Sunday.

That means I’m going to be visiting my usual chemists: to pick up the medications they could do me … 

After heading up for the other chemists, yesterday, to pick up the Ozempic … 

The walk?   Will possibly do me good.

Or burn off some frustration!

~≈X≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum*,  Olga† and Debbi‡, putting in their answers: with all three scoring five out of five.

“There are so many good roles for women out there, I don’t understand it when people say the role choices are fewer as you get older.”

Lisa Edelstein, born May 21, 1966.

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.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Either way, Olga: that does sound unacceptable.   And would I be right in guessing the thing that caused the problems would be navigating the various options?   You know, ‘Press one for this, press two for that, press * to hear these options, again?’   I find that — in a good chunk of phone calls —, you get to the end of that lot, and get an automated response!

        Can’t get paracetamol?   That’s sounds odd to me, but there’s possibly an upside.   Somewhere!

        I’m just as clueless about YouTube, Olga: quite what’s going on, I don’t know!   But doing the guest post was fun: and I think it’s earned me a few more subscribers.   Graham — @Cthuloom — is doing more stuff: so we’ll have to see if and when he needs another.   It helps I’ve an idea or two about some of the odder Daleks.

‡        Yeah, I did hear about that preview, Debbi: how DID it go?   Outside of exhaustion, that is!   It looks like it was a lot of fun.   And the short film, itself is good.

        Yeah, I know there’s a lot of debate about eru.   About all I know for sure?   Is that we supposed to have eru with water fufu.   What on EARTH that is, I don’t know.

        (Saying that?   Eru§ and Fufu sound like a kid’s cartoon: or maybe Sesame Street characters.)

§        Oh … Eru Ilúvatar is the name of Middle Earth’s supreme deity.   Just in case you were wondering, Debbi!
