Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th July 2025 (Six Questions)

28th July, 2025.


Bugger!

In the midst of joy for the England team … ?

In the midst of that joy … ?

My washing machine has developed a fault!

Yep: something’s causing a blockage, somewhere.

Granted, I’ve managed to unblock the filter at the bottom of the machine: but … ?

I don’t think the filter’s the real issue.

I bet you something else is causing the problem.

Thankfully, it’s still under guarantee: so any repairs should keep the cost down.

There’s sad news, today … 

It seems mathematician, Tom Lehrer, has died.

I honestly couldn’t tell you about his scientific work … but do know his music.

He’ll be much missed.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th July, 2019

28th July, 2019.


Yep, I’ve got an interview on Tuesday: at one.

In a local shop!

Well, localish.

Over in Pilgrim’s Hatch, near where my daily lives.

Hopefully?

I might just end up with a job out of it.

That’s assuming I actually here back from them!

Oh … 

I have to admit, I’ve got Radio 4 on, at the mo.

I’m not especially religious: but the Sunday morning service can be rather relaxing.

I did notice the news, though.

That the government is now working on the assumption that the UK is heading for a no-deal Brexit.

I’m … 

I’m someone who voted Remain: and would do so again, were the option put to a second referendum.

So … ?

Frankly, any kind of Brexit* is something I don’t want.

Especially?   Especially a no deal one.

~≈†≈~

Oh, one last thing … ?   Something else floated across my news feeds.

It seems a British teenager is half of the duo that one the relevant event at the Fortnite World Cup, yesterday.

And won a mind-boggling amount of money as a result.

I’m not someone who plays it … but I’m willing to bet my nephew’s going to be interested …
