Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6-6-2016

Ever so slowly … ?

Slowly, but ever so frequently …

I am yawning: enough to make me worry that my head’s going to drop off.

Yep … 

I’m up early, again.

And this time … ?

This time, it’s because I have to catch a bus to Basildon: to get to a hospital appoint, at Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital, for an ultrasound on my kidneys.

I’m concerned: not so much by the ultrasound scan.

But more by the bus journey.   If I’ve got that correct, I need to get the #9 to Basildon Town centre, then get the #100 to the hospital, itself.

I’m concerned.

I’ve been to Basildon, and look forward to the trip: but have never gone beyond the town centre.

I just hope I can find the blessed place!

Now, JUST as a final point?

I’m in the UK: as you may have realised.

In a couple of weeks time, we in the UK will be voting whether or not to remain in the EU: possibly the most important vote in a generation.

I will — point blank — refuse to tell you how to vote.

I’ve still not made my mind up, myself.

But know this.

If you haven’t registered to vote, by tomorrow, you won’t be able to vote in the referendum on the 23rd.

You can register online, here: https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.

I’d hate to see Britain make the wrong choice … 

Because of a low turn-out.

The Daily Teaser — 23-12-2014

Opening yesterday’s Teaser, I passed on the sad news of the death of actress, Billie Whitelaw.

There’s been more, since then.

For starters, singer, Joe Cocker’s died: of lung cancer, at the age of 70.

There’s more: a bin lorry in Glasgow mounted the pavement, killing six people in the process.

These are all sad events: that leave me offering my condolences to the families involved.

But it has to be said, my more cynical side is saying “It’s beginning to lot like Christmas.”

With heavy amounts of irony …

The Daily Teaser — 22-12-2014

Oh, now that’s sad … Billie Whitelaw’s died … !

I know she wasn’t a young woman.

But that was unexpected.

And saddening, either way.

Frankly … ?

I remember seeing the original version of The Omen.

And, while I think the remake is — in many ways — a better made film, the original has two genuinely un-nerving elements.

Jerry Goldsmith’s Oscar winning score: the Ave Satanis was and is the most terrifying piece of music going.

The other was Billie Whitelaw as Mrs Baylock, the nanny.

RIP, Billie.
