Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th October 2026.

5th October, 2026.

OK, that’s novel!

The BBC are reviving a TV show!

No, not Dr Who: that’s still at the initial stages of the tendering process.

No, they’ve announced they’re reviving PlaySchool.

That’s a turn up for the books.

And means two things.

The BBC are reviving because none of the original presenters have been done for sex crimes.

And possibly means Playaway will be next* … 

~≈🧑🏻‍🏫≈~

I find this out on a Monday.

On a day when I’m due to head for my weight management class.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the actual weigh-in goes well.

And that I’ve reversed the upward trend of the past few weeks.

Here’s hoping … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-10-2025 — “Love Me Do”

5th October, 2025: “Love Me Do”.

It’s officially official: courtesy of the local barbers, I’ve had a haircut!

I’m thankful!

Frankly, I was getting a little bit shaggy.

~≈💈≈~

I’m not one for dancing: or watching people dance.

Or watching dance competitions.

But I’m very aware that Alex Kingston — best known as Dr Who’s River Song — is taking part in this year’s version of Strictly Come Dancing.

And is at the top of the leader board, after last night’s samba.

Well done, her!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-10-2024 — It’s Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

5th October,  2024: Monty Python's Flying Circus.

It’s still official: I still haven’t received a payment from the Department of Work and Pensions.

I know: because I’ve been compulsively check my bank since the decision.

Saying that?

It’s Saturday: so it’s about what I was expecting.

It’s still frustrating to see, though!

~≈💷≈~

Oh, just as a confession: if this post seems a little delayed.

I’ve just found a game on Apple’s Arcade service called John Bottom.

It’s fun, addictive … 

And very reminiscent of an old ZX Spectrum game called Jumpin’ Jack … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th October 2023.

5th October, 2023.

Did I mention I’ve got a Christmas playlist in my Music app?

I’ve got a Christmas playlist in my Music app.

So you know.

I’ve got it on as I write.

Quite why “Vienna” is in that list, I don’t know.

~≈♬≈~

Oh, just as a quick thought … ?

You’ve heard of Ian Dury’s classic LP, New Boots and Panties?

It turns out there’s a tribute version called Brand New Boots and Panties: I’m just playing it, now … Sinead O’Connor’s version of “Wake Up and Make Love To Me” is something else!

Venom: Let There Be Carnage — A Review

4th October, 2022

Yes: it’s a Tuesday night.

Tuesday, 4th October, 2022, if you hadn’t guessed.

I’ve the evening to myself: and fancy a movie.

I don’t know which movies: but HAVE whittled it down to a choice of three.

The Black Phone, Flux Gourmet and Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

Which one I’ll see?

I don’t know.

But I’ll tell you, tomorrow night.

Once I’ve seen the thing!

~≈☠️≈~

Right … 

Right at the moment, it’s still the 4th October: and I’m going to get myself off to bed.

I’ve a video interview at 12:30 on the 5th: that I’d rather get a good night’s sleep for.

But … ?

I’ve made up my mind about what to watch.

And settled on Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

I’ll let you know more, tomorrow night.

~≈☠️≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-10-2022— You Know My Name.

5th October, 2022.

Right … 

12:30 is — possibly — D-day.

Or T-hour, what have you!

At any rate … ?

I’ve got an online interview: for a home working job.

Hopefully?

It’ll go well.

Here’s hoping!

~≈Î≈~

Did I mention my nephew was over, on Monday?

My nephew, Jude, was over on Monday: a good long chat was had, pizza was had … 

And another video made.

Would you mind liking and sharing?   Cheers!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-10-2021: Portugal

5th October, 2021

I wonder what happened there … !?

You’re online, aren’t you?   I’m assuming you are: you wouldn’t be reading this is you weren’t.

Given you’re online, you’ve possibly come across Facebook: possibly one of the biggest social media sites.

And one that owns Instagram and WhatsApp.

All three went down, last night.

And are now back up.

Quite what happened there … ?

I couldn’t tell you.

But I ended up nattering to people via old fashioned text message!

~≈¥≈~

As an extra thought … ?

I’ve just had a call from +34633109250, a Spanish number.

The woman at the other end claimed to be from Amazon: and was asking about the iPhone I’d apparently ordered.

When I said “You’re a scam call, aren’t you?”, the lady hung up.

Eyes peeled, folks!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-10-2020: World Teachers Day

5th October, 2020.

Right … 

I’ve running on something of a lack of sleep.

Which is lovely: when you consider I’ve have a meeting with the Shaw Trust, at ten.

Yes. 

We’ve had a police incident, outside Tomlinson Court.

Late on a Sunday night.

One of my neighbours was watching: it seems someone tried kicking the door down.

I’m … 

Well … 

I’m not happy: I was in bed when it all kicked off!

~≈Î≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-10-2019: Clive Barker.

5th October, 2019.

Yes.

It’s officially officially.

I’ve bought more stuff from Amazon.

Mad fool that I am.

Mostly DVDs and blu-rays, since you ask.

Including Deep Six: written by Old Peculiar regular, Debbi Mack.

She’s been commenting here for many years, after all.

The only issue, there … ?

Is Amazon have no idea when it’ll be despatched.

I’m assuming that’s because it’s print on demand: only printed when a copy’s ordered.

That?   With the costs involved?

Is understandable.

But also a touch frustrating … 

Especially when yo look at the US delivery dates* … 

~≈𐩕≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th October 2018.

5th October, 2018.

Yep.

I’ve officially had work phone me: to ask me to work, today.

Wouldn’t you know it.

They’ve done that … 

On the same day I’m due to get my boiler fixed … 

My mood, lifted last night by a good film — the David Bruckner directed, The Ritual — is ruined …

Oy … !

~≈§≈~

You can bet I’m having something of a weird mood … 

One thing I AM looking forward to … ?

Is Sunday.

Shifts being what they are?

I’m off, Sunday.

So I’ll have a chance to catch that first episode, as it’s broadcast.

I’m … 

Hoping it’s good.

And not as silly as some of the publicity … 

~≈§≈~

Wonder Woman: Not Perfect, but very watchable

5th October, 2017

You know, I’m feeling vaguely rushed, tonight.

Rushed … and nervous.

Frankly?

I’ve had the day off, today.

And was expecting a rather important call.

Which hasn’t happened, yet.

So I’m expecting all sorts!

On top of that?   I have an early start, tomorrow.

Ideally, I should be getting an early night, because of that.

But … ?

I did want to tell you I’d seen something, tonight.

That’s right … 

Wonder Woman.

~≈W≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th October, 2017

I have to admit, this week’s been … 

Frustrating.

Hours cut at work?

That’s not good.

Interview last Thursday: I’ve still not heard.   I should know by today or tomorrow.

Catching up with Teasers and the minimal bit of house work I need to do?

Well, that’s done, bar the videos.

Leaving me with the real frustration, tonight: on a night when I have to be early for work.

More House of Cards?

An early night?

Or Wonder Woman, regardless of the fact I find the price on iTunes a little high?

On top of that … ?

I can’t wait for Sunday.

It’s the next episode of Star Trek: Discovery!

Argh!

~≈Ø≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-10-2016: Meet The Beatles … AGAIN!

BLAST!

I forgot to put my alarm on!

I hate not putting my alarm on!

It throws my whole day out.

Right at the mo?

I’m glad I’ve not started work, yet: that could’ve gone all over the place!
