Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14-1-2024 — World Logic Day.

14th January, 2024: World Logic Day.


Right … it’s Sunday.

A day I’m expecting to be quiet, peaceful … and possibly slightly boring!

We’ll have to see, there.

At any rate … ?

I’ve posted my written and video reviews of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: Mutant Mayhem, last night.

Feel free to have a look at them.

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!

†        Oh, that it is, Olga.   Strange thing is, you might have caught her Radio 2 show, while you were here: she an occasionally thing called The Eternal Jukebox.   (She was quite a one for Techno, as well: but I’m guessing you’re not a fan … ?)
        Either way, you’re right: it’s one hell of a loss!

‡        That she was, Debbi: she was Radio 1’s longest serving DJ, and very knowledge about various shades of Techno.   Turns out her last show was December, ’23 … !   Ye gods, the woman lasted!
        Easy rhythms sounds like a good idea!   (Would “Jump Around” help?)

Q1) 2019

Q2) UNESCO

Q3) reasoning

Q4) a logician

Q5) arguments
You're right. I am not sure I heard the whole programme, but I definitely heard it mentioned on Radio 2. It is like everything: there are some techno songs I quite like, but it isn't my usual choice. (These days I am not a fan of much of what is played, at leat not the modern stuff, but there are some songs I like. Because I tend to use Text to speech and listen to books while I'm doing things around the house I don't listen to much radio, other than Sants 3 Ràdio these days.
