Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th October, 2024.

26th October, 2024.

It’s officially officially: it’s now Saturday.

Which means that — if you’re in the UK? — that the clocks go back, overnight.

Most of mine will reset, automatically: but there’s a couple I’ll have to do manually.

Heigh ho!

~≈🕰️≈~

My nephew, Jude, was over, yesterday: has had to confess, he’s not looking forward to a hair cut, today!

But was interested in my new sofa*, and thoroughly enjoy making a new video.

If you can head over to YouTube, hit the like button, and share the thing?

That’ll probably help boost his morale!

~≈💈≈~

Oh, just as a last thought … ?

Going by a piece I’ve just seen on the BBC’s website, there’s a man who’s made a novelty Halloween costume … out of Yorkshire puddings.

Yorkshire puddings … !

Normally?

I’d roll my eyes, heavenward, and say “Only in America”, except this … was in Southend … !

Heigh, bloody, ho!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-4-2021: Good Friday

2nd April, 2021: Good Friday.

Yep: I’m officially avoiding buns.

Sweet ones: you know, sugared/caramel/chocolate covered buns.

Especially ones of an Eastery nature.

It’s the Diabetes: I can’t have ’em!

Quite what I’m supposed to do with the fridge of chocolate bars, I couldn’t tell you!

~≈🍫≈~

I don’t know about you: but I do the every occasional survey.

Very occasional: and mostly in the hope of a reward/

The two main ones I’m doing?

One pays out Amazon vouchers: fairly frequently.

The other, after I’ve built up five thousand points.

I did one of the latter ones, this morning.

Frankly?   I think at least ONE question was a heavily disguised advert!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26-10-2019: Bob Hoskins

26th October, 2019

You know, Brexit’s possibly describable as a farce.

Not a satire, but a farce.

Or a chimp’s tea party: which is farcical, anyway.

But … ?

I’m starting to put my boiler into the same bracket.

My boiler was due to be repaired, last Thursday: the engineer couldn’t do anything, as it was too old.

I was due to get a supervisor out, Thursday afternoon.   Who couldn’t, as earlier jobs overran.

Lunchtime, yesterday?    The electrician out to fix my bathroom light turn up, and was done in five minutes.

Yesterday afternoon, at about 16:30?

The engineer who originally turned up, last Thursday, turned up, again: rather than the supervisor I was expecting.

Officially re-diagnosed the boiler as old, and told the office so, as they phoned him while he was here.

And told me they should be phoning me on Monday, to book up a visit from the supervisor … 

I’m … 

Yeah … 

Trying to find a decent farce …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th October, 2018

26th October, 2018.

Yep: NOW I’m worried.

It’s not a work day: but, as it’s payday?

One I’d’ve preferred to have been up on time for.

Wouldn’t you know it … ?

I forgot to turn off my alarm … !

Arrgh … !

Doomsday: Revisiting the Hot Zone …

1st March, 2011

You know, right now, I’m going to admit to happily yawning.

But thought that, if nothing else, I should at least get started on a post.

Complete with the intention of finishing in the morning.

It is a bit late to be up on a work night, after all.

But — as I said a couple of lines ago — I wanted to at least start telling you about the movie that I, Movie Night Adrian and Kevin D saw, tonight.

Me and Adrian were revisiting an old friend.

The 2008 Neil Marshall directed film, Doomsday.

And we took Kevin with us …

»»•««

Doomsday: The Hot Zone …

Oh, now hold on …

Wait a minute …

Now here’s a film worth the money!!!

Me and Adrian managed to catch the Neil Marshall directed Doomsday, tonight, and my word: it’s definitely worth the money.

Especially if you happen to like Mad Max/Escape from New York style post-apocalyptic films, or took to either of Neil Marshall’s earlier efforts, Dog Soldiers and The Descent; the former of which I’ve seen, and happen to think is very British, and great fun!

Gory, but great fun.
