Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th April 2026

15th April, 2026.

Right, then … 

It’s now Wednesday: and, frankly, I’m looking forward to payday!

I get my PIP, my Personal Independence Payment, in a couple of days.

And, frankly?

It would be nice to buy a cheeky takeaway.

Oh, I caught some TV, last night: the first few episodes of Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord: a spin-off featuring the character from The Phantom Menace.

The show’s dark, doomy, and you can see the influence of Blade Runner from half a mile away.

But … ?

It’s fun!

~≈⚔️≈~

Just in case of emergencies?

I’ve been uploading a series of cheesy jokes to YouTube: feel free to share them.
