Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-2-2024 — Pon De Replay

20th February 2024: Pon De Replay.

Yes: it’s Tuesday!

Which means I’ve got to head into town: to see if some medications have come through.

Hopefully?

They’ll’ve turned up.

My supply of the relevant ones, runs out, tomorrow!

~≈💉≈~

Oh … 

I’ve finished a review!

Of episode three of classic Dr Who story, The Underwater Menace.

I’m just thankful I’ve not received a copyright strike for that video.

As I’ve highlighted this clip: 

I think the animators have made a cock-up!

*        Hello, Mum‡!

†        Yeah, I figured that might appeal, Debbi‡!   Oh, someone HAS done a Discworld version of an alignment chart.   The Lawful Evil chap is a zombie lawyer called Mr Slant.   Oh, and the Chaotic Neutral chap is Cohen the Barbarian: David (First Doctor) Bradley played him in The Colour of Magic.

‡        Just so everyone knows, Olga’s having connection problems … !
