Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-6-2020: Three … is the Magic Number

3rd June, 2020.

It’s official: I caught a movie, last night.

Luis Buñuel’s Viridiana, so you know.

I think The Seventh Seal was better … 

But, on the other hand?

The Seventh Seal, as far as I can see, didn’t win a Palme D’or, nor get condemned as blasphemous by L’Osservatore Romano, the Pope’s own newspaper.

If you’ve pulled of THAT double, you’ve done something!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21st December, 2019.

21st December, 2019.

Right, I’ve officially had the interview.

Yesterday, so you know.

I’m job hunting at the moment: something regular readers will already know.

And had an interview, yesterday, for a Brentwood-based insurance company.

It … 

I have to admit, it seemed to go well.

But will find out, by January, at the earliest.

Here’s hoping …

You know, there’s times I despair at humanity, sometimes.

I’ve always thought well of the Reverend Richard Coles‡: presenter of Saturday Live, and The Big Painting Challenge.

So, when I heard his partner, Reverend David Coles, had died?   I was sympathetic.

And angry, too.

It seems Reverend Coles has been getting hate mail.

Ye GODS … !

I think the last think any one who’s lost a husband/wife/partner wants in these circumstances is some bloody idiot telling them their loved one’s going to hell.

The fact police are investigating, may well be small consolation.

All I can do … ?

Is hope the idiots who’ve done this get caught.

Is offer my condolences to Reverend Coles.

And remind the senders of the hate mail about Matthew — 7:12.

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you:
do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Do unto others, an’ all that …

The Daily Teaser — 24-5-2015: Judgement Day … !

Oh, now that’s sad … 

You probably now I’ll have BBC Radio Four on, at this time of the morning.

I have BBC Radio Four on at this time of the morning: just in case you didn’t realise.

They’ve just had the news on.   And, buried between Ireland’s ‘Yes’ result — congratulations, there, Ireland! — and news of Sweden winning Eurovision — congratulations, Sweden! — was news of murder, in Didcot.

A man, a woman and a child.

Apparently, the police are treating it as suspicious: although no arrests have been made.

It’s sad: whenever the death of a child’s involved.   But I’m willing to hazard a guess at what’s happened.   I’m guessing somewhere along the line, one of the family — the father, I’m assuming, but could be wrong — has been put out of a job: something like that.   Or, the other reason I’m guessing at?   Is that the child or mother is seriously ill.

Whatever the motivation?

Whatever the motivation, it like someone’s decided the whole family’s death is preferable to living.

That’s sad … 

No … that’s tragic …
