Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16th July, 2026

16th July, 2026.

OK … pizza … 

If you read yesterday’s teaser, you’ll have realised the my local branch of Domino’s made a dog’s dinner of Jude and I’d dinner, on Tuesday.

So, after I’d finished posting, yesterday?

I headed for the Domino’s website, found their email address — and the online complaint form — and had a good whinge about it.

And asked for my money back.

Going by the reply I got?

The branch has five days to reply.

I’ll try and let you know what happens … 

~≈🍕≈~

Just as an extra point … ?

I caught another episode of For All Mankind, on Tuesday: and finished both a written, and a video, review, last night.

They’re a little short.

Although, in my defence?

I spent a lot of time, yesterday, emailing Dominos!

“Nudity is not something I necessarily want to avoid and yet it’s not the most fun thing in the world to do.”

Phoebe Cates, born July 16, 1963.

And a WizKid song …

The next 10 question sets are on 30th July, and 11th August: they’re about the Beano and World Steel Pan Day.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        I have to admit, Debbi, I’m not a fan: but do know we lost 2:1, by the time the game finished.   (If it had been the snooker, I’d’ve been glued to it.)
