Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-9-2025 — The International Day of Peace (Ten questions)

21st September, 2025: the International Day of Peace.

Right, then … 

Radio 4’s new bulletin is playing in the background.

And … ?

It’s told us of a cyber-attack on the check-in systems of various international airports.

Apparently, the company responsible for the software that’s being attacked, has described it as a “cyber-related disruption.”

Without being too clear about what sort of disruption they’re mean.

Quite what’s going on there, who is to blame, and how long the disruption will last?

Is beyond me …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-6-2024 — World Bicycle Day

3rd June, 2024: World Bicycle Day.

Heigh Ho … it’s Monday … !

And yes: I’ve off to my weight management group in the morning.

And a hygienist’s appointment in the afternoon.

There are times I hate living at the bottom of a hill … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14th March 2023.

14th March, 2023.

You know, it’s easy to forget quite how busy a week can possibly be.

I’ve a weight management meeting by phone, this morning.

And my nephew, this afternoon.

There’s possibly going to be more videos, done: on top of the video review I’ve already done.

I hope someone gets the Goons reference in that!

At any rate … ?

I’ve got all that on … plus I’ve had my council tax bill … and needs to chase up the help I can get.

AND take in both bank statements, and proof I’m claiming benefits.

Given I’ve got a plumber on Friday, a doctors appointment, tomorrow, and a food bank delivery, today … ?

The next few days will be busy … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-6-2021: World Bicycle Day

3rd June, 2021.

I think we can safely say the Civil Service can move.

Sometimes.

Occasionally.

When needed.

Remember, my Job centre case worker’s been keen for me to do an online course?

One where I’ll need Zoom: which isn’t a problem.

And a copy of Microsoft Office: one that — along side any Windows specific plugins — would be.

I don’t have space on my iMac for ten gigabytes of productivity suite.

So my work coach decided to buy me a laptop.

I was expecting a delay.

Even given it was a budget machine, with not a lot of RAM, and a hard drive that’s smaller than some memory sticks.

It turned up, yesterday.

I’ve got a couple of weeks before the course starts: so I can take my take my time setting things up.

But still … I’m surprised …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-11-2019: The Day of Fate.

9th November, 2019.

Yep: I think I can safely say it’s foggy out.

I’ve just looked.

Actually?

I just nipped in to the building’s hallway, to take a quick snap.

It’s foggy … and just a little chilly.

If you’re in my part of the world?

You might want to be careful, driving.

Oh, JUST as a thought … ?

I am not a Labour voter: if you hadn’t noticed the Green campaign funding link in the side bar, you’re obviously reading this on a mobile device … 

But something that does mildly annoy me … ?

Is the amount of people who point out Jeremy Corbyn supports the IRA*: or, at least, supported them in the 1980s and 1990s.

I’m not going to judge, there.

But notice that’s cropped up again, as part of the election: mostly from Conservative supporters.

Personally?   That’s not something I like seeing.

Especially as I’m very aware that various conservative governments have had dealings with the Provisional IRA.

And very aware that various Conservative governments — including those led by Margaret Thatcher — authorised collusion with Ulster Resistance and the Ulster Defence Association.

Criticising one for have links to violent paramilitaries, without criticising the other?

Is unfair: however passionate you want to get about an election.
