Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th December 2025.


12th December, 2025.


I think I can safely say ChatGPT can’t spell!

I put what I was going to use as today’s thumbnail through ChatGPT, and asked it to add a submarine called Boaty McBoatface.

And?

Got a ship called ‘Boaty McDDatface’.

Technology’s amazing.

At least it will be … when it learns how to spell … 

~≈⚓️≈~

It’s officially official: I’ve got reviews finished!

Or, at least, I’ve published my written review of “Plastic Apocalypse” done.

Along side the video version.


Here’s hoping they do well … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th December 2024.

12th December, 2024.


It’s officially official.

I’ve got new t-shirts I want to show off.

But … ?

It’s a little too nippy to be wearing them.


Or, at least … a little too nippy to be wearing them … without a jumper … !

Heigh … ho!

A little girl called Sara Sharif died, last year.

Murdered by her father and step-mother.

That, as these things always do, leaves me feeling upset, disturbed and angry.

As it will leave many other people.

Those responsible for her death will go to prison: and get the lovely reception child-killers always do, inside.

But … ?

There will be questions.
  • How did this happen?
  • How do we prevent this?
  • And — last but not least — how could they do this?
I don’t know how it happened.

I don’t know how to prevent this: but suspect lessons couldshould and must, be learnt: as they should every time this happens.

How the killers could do this?

I don’t know.

But suspect the only answer I can give you, is the deeply cynical one I always trot out when these sort of killings happen.

‘Very easily’.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12-12-2023 — International Day of Neutrality.

12th December, 2023: International Day of Neutrality.


Right … 

It’s Tuesday.

And … ?

I’ve got some sleep … and some Dread Zeppelin on in the background.


There’s possibly stranger bands to start the day with … 

~≈ß≈~

Yes: so you know … ?

Yes: I’m officially Jude sitting, today.

And being joined by Mikey the Rabbit … but not Bobby the Cat!


Heigh ho!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12-12-2022 — Pennsylvania 6-5000.

12th December, 2022: Pennsylvania.


Right … just in case you didn’t know … ?

It started snowing!

At least, it started snowing, last night.


Which has thankfully stopped: after leaving us with about two inches of snow.




Will we get more?

Well, the BBC’s weather site was saying no.

And Radio 4’s weathermen are telling us it will get milder by the weekend.

But?

We’ll just have to see.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th December, 2021

12th December, 2021.





Right: it’s Sunday.

So an officially quiet day.

One that’s possibly going to involve me having a word with the neighbours.

I think we have a rat issue.   Again!

~≈Ÿ≈~

It sounds like Boris Johnson’s in trouble.

Stories about Downing Street Christmas parties, last year — violating the COVID-19 restricts forbade it  — have had another twist.

A photo’s been released: of Boris, and a couple of aides — sitting remarkably near each other —whilst attending a virtual quiz.


There is talk — according to the most recent BBC news bulletin — that some backbenchers are going to attempt a vote-of-no-confidence in the PM.

That’s a tricky one: the Government’s got a big enough majority to make that chancy.

But … ?

If you’re in charge got an administration seen as hypocritical, or that its own rules don’t apply to it?

Well … 

Expect what happens.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12-12-2020: Frankie Says.

12th December, 2020.
 

Did you know that it’s Saturday … ?

It’s Saturday, in case you didn’t know.

Which means?

Well, I’ll be watching Star Trek Discovery, tonight.

It’s looking rather good, I have to say!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12-12-2019: General Election 2019

12th December, 2019.


Just so you know?   I’m jobhunting.

And?

My Job Centre’s put me on a course to try and help improve my interview skills: along side a few other things.

Yesterday, though?

I couldn’t get to the course: because the buses didn’t turn up!

There was literally no sign of them: going up or going down hill.

Why?

I don’t know.

But I’d like to know why: it sounds like I have a lot of catching up to do as a result.

~≈¥≈~

Right … 

It’s General Election Day.

Yay … 

I’m planning to try and vote on my way to the course, today.

To vote Green.
  1. I’ve never voted Tory in my life and don’t plan to, today.
  2. Labour?   Around here is a wasted vote.
  3. Liberal Democrat?   I’ve not voted for them since they betrayed their voters by joining the coalition in 2010.   I expect them to be equally treacherous, again.

So, this year?

It’s Green … or spoil my vote.

The parties available give me no other choice.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th December, 2018.

12th December, 2018.


Right … 

I’ve officially had the interview, spent an afternoon in Covent Garden, and had a look around the place.

Oh, and had an interview.

Which seemed to go well: although I doubt I’ll get it.

I think speaking French would possibly be handing.

And, typical Brit, the only language I do speak is English!

If nothing else, though?

The actual venue for the interview — a specialist tea shop in Covent Garden — was an amazing looking place: looks of polished wood and marble.


Oh … 

I also managed to make a quick visit to the Covent Garden Apple store.

Frankly?

I doubt I’ll get it: but wouldn’t say know to an iMacPro for Christmas.



~≈§≈~

On other fronts … ?

Prime Minister Theresa May is to face a vote of No Confidence, tonight: after the head of the Conservative Party’s 1922 Committee.

Effectively?

A leadership challenge has been triggered.

Can I, at this stage?   Ask the Tories what the HELL they think they’re doing?

With negotiations still on-going, this is NOT the time for this.

Frankly?

Given there’s still Brexit negotiations going on?

This is going to backfire: to the UK’s cost.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12-12-2016

Oh … 

I’ve got the proverbial radio on.

BBC Radio 4, so you know.

The Today programme.

And they’ve just made made the serious announcement that, as Britain’s seas are warming?

The amount of squid being caught is going up.

I’m not too sure about that … 

I mean … 

Squid and chips … ?

Somehow, I doubt it …
