Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28-5-2025 — The Old Firm Derby (Ten questions)

28th May, 2025: the Old Firm Derby.


Right … did I mention I have a computer for sale … ?

I have a computer for sale: a Chromebook, with 8gb RAM, and a 128gb solid state drive.

Going for £105 ONO.

I’ve put it on Facebook: and see if I can’t plonk it on Gumtree and Craigslist, later.

Wish me luck: I suspect this could take a while …

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.
