Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd June 2023.

2nd June, 2023.

Right … it’s Friday: and … ?

Well I’ve had the Ozempic, already.

I’ve enough for two more weeks … so will probably need to look at what’s happening!

At any rate … ?

It’s a Friday: an overcast Friday that’s supposed to be getting sunny, later.

We’ll see.

You know, if you’re in the UK, you’ve possibly have seen the news.

The story about Phillip Schofield leaving the This Morning show, after revealing he’d had an affair at work.

He was definitely out of sorts in the interview he did for the BBC.

He has — as he famously said! — has done something unwise: but not illegal.

I’ll be honest: I think he’s getting maybe a bit too much press coverage.

After all, he’s done nothing worse than Bill Clinton, John Major or David Mellor.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        I know Stephen Fry plays, as well, Olga: as does Victoria Coren Mitchell.   There’s a hysterical clip from QI liking around on Youtube about it, as well.

        Yeah: co-ordination seems to be the thing with strikes.   We’ve still got some rail strikes going on, at the mo: with different sections of the industry — drivers from one union, signallers from another — going on strike on different days.   I’m glad I’m not having to commute: that would surely make life difficult!

        Oh, I knew that: I’m also aware there’s an argument for calling the Dollar Trilogy, Paella Westerns!

‡        I know that much, Debbi.   You’ve heard of Stan Ridgway, have’t you?   From Wall of Voodoo?   He’s a HUGE fan of Ennio Morricone!
