Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th June 2026.

27th June, 2026.

It’s officially Saturday … !

Which means Saturday things are happening.

Obviously.

One thing I do know is happening … ?

Is simply this.

It’s rained overnight.

Which is nice.

But … ?

It’s not exactly cooled things down … 

~≈💧≈~

I’m not especially a gamer: even though I’ll happily admit to finally finishing the original Sonic the Hedgehog, a few days ago.

That aside, I’m not a gamer.

But noticed this article from the BBC.

One that tells us Rock Star Games latest release, Grand Theft Auto 6, is to be digital only.

At least, not released on a physical disc.

With streamed movies being more common?

That’s not surprising.

But … ?

For those of us who value physical ownership of media — and the ability to watch to play something, even if the online version has been taken down — that’s going to be a blow.

~≈📀≈~

Let’s move on.

Here’s a thought …

“One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.”

Helen Keller, June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968.

An Elton Britt song …

And an earworm …

The next 10 question sets are on 1st July, 4th July, 5th July, 11th, 13th July and 30th: they’re about New Brunswick, Independence Day, Nemesis the Warlock, World Horse Day, “I Don’t Like Mondays” and the Beano.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!   (Five out of five, yesterday: well done!)

‡        I think, Debbi, that’s why Oldman’s doing Slow Horses.   Jackson Land is as far from Smiley as it’s possibly to get.

        Oh, I’ve caught another episode.   The way James Callis and Kristin Scott Thomas play their characters got me thinking about Yes Minister: they seemed like an update of Jim Hacker and Sir Humphrey … !
