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.

Let’s move on, shall we?

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

“If the world were a logical place, men would ride side saddle.”
Rita Mae Brown.

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?)

  1. 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.

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.
