Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th June 2025.

27th June, 2025.

Hmmm … 

I’m sure you know that the government of the UK had planned to make big adjustments to various welfare benefits.

Mostly to the health sections of Universal Credit, and to Personal Independence Payment.

But were facing a backbench rebellion in next week’s planned vote on the bill.

However?

Those rebels have mostly climbed down: after the government made concessions.

Hopefully?

That means thousands of people will be unaffected.

I usually keep an eye open for news about Dr Who: and am very aware that Disney’s deal with the BBC — that has funded the past couple of seasons — hasn’t been renewed.

But — with thanks to the Tharries channel, along side one or two news pieces — also aware that, apparently, two unnamed, big, streaming services are supposed to be bidding for the rights.

Supposedly, those streamers are HBO Max, and Netflix.

And, supposedly?

At least one of the streamers wants the show to go in a darker direction: something showrunner, Russell T. Davies, doesn’t want: he’d prefer a lighter tone.

Personally?

I’d prefer a darker tone, myself: I grew up on Tom Baker’s scary early years.

If the show isn’t causing nightmares, it’s doing something wrong!

But?

Would be grateful to see the show being aired.

We’ll have to see, won’t we?

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th June, 2020

27th June, 2020.

Right … I ordered a thingie on Amazon, a while back.

This thing, to be precise.

I actually ended up … 

With this … 

When I asked how to return it, the people that sold it to me, told me to keep it.

Quite what I’m supposed to do with a puzzle that looks that fiddly, I don’t know!

~≈Ω≈~

As a quick thought … ?

You’ve possibly followed my digital poverty pieces: at least, I hope you have!

Here they are: parts one, two, three and four.

Just to keep you informed?   Phoenix FM, the local radio station, have been in touch about it.

Hopefully?

I’ll be able to do something with them.

We’ll see.
