Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th September 2025.

28th September, 2025.

It’s officially: England’s (ladies) rugby team have won the World Cup.

I’m no fan of the game: but it’s nice to see it happen,

I have just one minor question.

Was it Rugby League, or Rugby Union?

Like I say, I’m not a fan … !

~≈🏟️≈~

OK, I’m possibly a lot of things.

Including mildly bored on a Sunday morning.

But … ?

I’m interested enough in current affairs: at least, interested enough to keep an eye on the petition against the Prime Minister’s Digital ID scheme.

When I put my name to it, yesterday?

It was hovering around the 1, 600, 000 mark.

As I write?

It’s at the 2, 100, 000 mark.

Given the House of Commons has to debate these things, if they get 10, 000 signatures?

It’s getting debated.

Whether the proposal goes through, or fails, is a whole other matter.

But at least a debate is guaranteed.

~≈🫆≈~

Let’s move on.

A song …

*        Hello, Mum!

†        You mean Bill Gates, Debbi … ?   :D

‡        Those meetings sound seriously useful, Olga, and vaguely remind me of AA meetings: there’s always something to learn from them!

        If it’s any help with the Sant3 events?   I've usually do the tv and movie reviews over two days, now: but I’d imagine the station’s on a far tighter deadline!

        Cheers for at least looking at the petition!
