Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th February 2025.

12th February, 2025.

Right … I’ve officially got a video meeting, today: with the job centre.

It’s been a little while since I’ve had one of these.

The last time I did, my kit handled things well.

These days … ?

I’ve got different machinery: complete with a group of controls that I think let my browser use my camera … in three different places … !

So … ?

I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

~≈📽️≈~

Oh … I’ve been playing with Apple’s Image Playground, again!

I’ve tried feeding in the terms banana, man and superhero: with a photo of myself as a reference.

I was hoping for something like this … 

I got this … 

I don’t quite know what to say … … … 

~≈🍌≈~

JUST as a last thought … ?

One for anyone wonder how to use a phone or tablet to enter the Teaser?

I’ve improvised a video: I hope it helps … 

~≈👩🏻‍🏫≈~

Let’s move on.


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

Let’s see how everyone does with today’s [insert number here] questions, shall we?

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

Here’s a thought …

“My name is Arsenio.   That’s a very unique name for a black man. In Greek, it means Leroy.”

Arsenio Hall, born February 12, 1956.

And a song …

The next ten question set is on 19th February: it’s about EastEnders.

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, did he now, Olga?   They’d “… not like the long trip to the US”?   He was quick off the mark, there!

        Mind you, it’s possibly a good thing.   Gazans get to avoid marshmallow pizza!   Marshmallow pizza, and popcorn-topped pizza?   I know people complain about Hawaiian pizza, but popcorn, or marshmallows?   Dear lord!

‡        Funny old thing, I just got to the Turkish bath chapter, last night, Debbi!   (From what I’ve read, so far, the character of Count Lippe was a former Tong member.   I didn’t realise the film version’s played by Guy Doleman: mind you, it’s been years since I’ve seen the film version.)
