Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24-6-2023 — UFO Your Way.

24th June, 2023: UFO Your Way.

Hmm … I’ve got a problem.

I’ve got a pay as you go meter.

Along with the appropriate chip and pin payment card.

Yesterday?

The dratted things decided to play up!

After I’d put fifty quid on the card!

I’ve had to order a replacement card: and machine.

But it’s going to take until 3rd August, before the machine turns!

~≈¥≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

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.

*        It does look good, Olga.   And I think they accept trade ins: or buy in from punters.   That could be useful, at some point.

        Saint John’s Eve?   You know, that’s got may thinking of an old Matt Smith episode of Dr Who!   (It’s called “The Bells of Saint John”.   The original police boxes had a Saint John’s Ambulance logo on them: to remind you it had a first aid kit in it.   In the episode, there’s a phone behind the logo, which starts ringing!)

        I’ve got the sharps bin organised: so that’s all good.   The appointment went well: I will need some latex gloves, though!   I like the look of the cake!   It’s just a shame about the blessed gas meter!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        The comic shop’s literally around the corner from it, Debbi: I’ll have to do a video!   Oh, I’ll have my review of “Ad Astra Per Aspera” up, later, the second episode of Strange New World’s second season.   You have GOT to see this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Oh, you’ve got a package …
