Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th July 2026.

6th July, 2026.

Right … it’s Weight Management Monday … !

So, yes: I’m off To town to get my weight, checked, again.

I’d lost half a kilo, last week: hopefully, I’ve been able to keep that trend, going!

Keep your fingers crossed for me, please … !

On other fronts?

It’s always the way that — if you’re online, at this time of the morning — you see adverts.

It’s part of the price we pay, for using many websites.

The only problem … ?

The only problem I find, is the inevitable misleading ads.

A few years agoi, now, I got conned by a third party seller on Ebay: into buying USB sticks with a claimed capacity of some two terabytes, some two thousand gigabytes.

But which turned out to only hold some thirty-two gigabytes.

You can read about that, here.

This morning … ?

I was floating around Youtube: and got shown an advert from a site called tlpnb.com.

Which claimed to be selling thirty-two terabyte sized external solid-state drives for “less than the price of a bottle of beer.”

But that the site was advertising for £33.

Which is pricey for a beer … 

But bloody cheap for that size of external drive.

Especially when Amazon do two terabyte SSDs for two or three times the price.

Given that?

And given the website selling these iffy drives offers ‘securety payments*’?

I’m going to offer some advice.

Go nowhere near tlpnb.com, buy nothing from them!

They’re dubious, to say the least!

Let’s move on.

“Psycho gave me very wrinkled skin. I was in that shower for seven days - 70 setups.   At least, he [Alfred Hitchcock] made sure the water was warm.”

Janet Leigh, July 6, 1927 – October 3, 2004.

And a joke from the late Dave Allen …

The next 10 question sets are on 11th, 13th and 30th July: they’re about World Horse Day, “I Don’t Like Mondays” and the Beano.

Your comments, and today’s answers, will be published in tomorrow’s Teaser.

AI is avoided when writing these questions.

Answers are as accurate as possible: at the time of writing.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Spelling mistakes are one sign of a dodgy site: as this page reminds us.   By contrast?   Spellings mistakes on a quiz blog are a sign the blogger needs new spectacles, food, and more sleep.

†        Hello, Mum!   (The Blitzspear’s a spaceship, mum, rather than a car.)

‡        Politics is always screwy, Debbi: at least in my experience.

        Um … I don’t think Rebellion Publishing, 2000ad’s current publishers, have a US site: but a lot of the comic’s stuff is on Amazon.
