Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14th November, 2026

14th November, 2026.

Yes: it’s Saturday.

Which normally means dancing around in my underwear, singing a happy song about conkers.

That’s assuming I had any conkers, obviously.

I’m burbling, aren’t I … ?

Yes, I am.

What I’ve been meaning to say is simply this:

“It’s bloody cold, out, today!”

Heigh Ho!

~≈🥶≈~

I caught the next episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds, last night: a fourth season episode called “Off-Hour”.

I’ll have written and videos reviews up by Tuesday, by 17th November.

But I’ll tell you what: that’s a bloody fantastic episode!

~≈🖖≈~

Oh … 

Grand Theft Auto 6 is released: on Thursday.

Which would possibly make for a perfect Christmas gift for my nephew, Jude.

But … ?

I’m not sure he plays the game in any of its other versions.

And the boxed version — that just includes a digital download code, rather than a disc — is sound the £70 mark.

That’s not necessarily value for money … 

~≈🕹️≈~

“I have gone back to some things that can’t possibly be done: water, with weeds waving at the bottom.   It is a wonderful sight, but it drives one to crazy to try to paint it.”
Claude Monet, (November 14, 1840 – December 5, 1926.)

And a song …

The next ten question sets are on the 19th, 25th, 29th November and 6th December: they’re about Quatermass and the Pit, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, the Grand Ole Opry and The Wicker Man.

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

AI is used to suggest themes for some dates: but avoided when writing the 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.

*        Hello, Mum!   Five out of five, again!

†        It’s relatively simple Debbi.   Back up everything, first: then drag and drop your Photos library (Photos Library.photoslibrary) from ~/Home Folder/Pictures/ to your external drive.   Double click the new library to open it: that should let you choose it as the System Library.   You can then delete the old library.   The relevant Apple support page is here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108345

        I’m curious, now: how big IS your main drive?   If that’s not a personal question!   (I was lucky enough to be able to afford a one terabyte one, when I got Killer.)

        The new wreckage is here: https://wormhole.app/a7PxB9#6DgxtTx_5PrpS76FHakUng    You should be able to download it directly to your external drives …
