Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24th January 2024.

24th January, 2024.


It’s officially official: it’s Wednesday.

And … ?

Frankly, I’ve got just enough cash to have a haircut!

It’s something I’ve been joking about with my nephew, Jude, for some time!

We’re both looking a bit shaggy!

~≈💈≈~

Which reminds me!

Jude’s put a new video up!

As he was over last night!

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video.

Here’s a thought …
“Democracy is not something we have, it’s something we do.”
Doris Haddock§, January 24, 1910 – March 9, 2010.
And some music …


Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.




*        Cheers, Olga: I managed to get some of Sainsbury’s Fruit and Fibre.   That’s one of my five-a-day, done!

        Hello, Mum!

        There is?   I’ll have to keep my eyes open, Debbi!
        Talking about Macs, again … ?   Radio 4’s Today programme had a thing about the launch of the Mac, today: at about the two and a half hour mark.   The piece they played, the Steve Jobs piece?   Was from a 1984 conference.   But he introduced it at a 1983 conference!   You know, the BBC used to do research!

§        (I couldn’t ignore someone called ‘Haddock’. It’s like being a pub quiz master … and ignoring Emerson Boozer.   There’s also a politician called Young Boozer.   Who’d have PR problems in the UK.)

  2. Q1) Ted Bundy

    Q2) Education

    Q4) False (21st of December, or so it says).

    Q5) Finally … ? Marilyn Monroe divorced her third husband: on 24th January, 1961. Who was her third husband? Arthur Miller. I studied Arthur Miller’s plays at university, and he wrote one with a character based on Marilyn, After the Fall.
    It isn’t his best (by far), but it is interesting.
    I hope you are happy with the haircut.

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.

†   Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
