Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-4-2022: UN Chinese Language Day

20th April, 2022.

Right … he says … 

After juggling browsers, trying desperately upload today’s Teaser video!

Quite what happened, there?   Beyond the fact Safari couldn’t seemingly interact with the Playlist selector?

I don’t know!

~≈🍏≈~

At any rate … ?

At any rate, I’ve a meeting — by phone — with my Job Centre work coach, today.

Assuming she’s not changed the date at the last minute!

Hopefully?   It’ll go well.

Oh … 

Remember me mentioning that the local phone mast — the one that got removed from a local office block — had been removed a few years ago?

Theoretically?   The various phone companies have been trying to put up various replacements, ever since.

A couple of days ago?

A phone mast got put up next to the multi-storey car-park in Coptfold Road: in the patch of parkland behind the High Street.

I took the photo, yesterday.

I was twenty foot away from the thing: and still only had three bars worth of signal.

Twenty foot away from a transmitter that — from what I could tell from the signage on the thing? — was put up by O2, my mobile provider.

Three bars: from twenty foot away.

Have you ever had the feeling you’ve been cheated … ?

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-4-2021: Chinatown

20th April, 2021.

Yay!

I’m going to be sat indoors for part of the morning.

At least, until just gone 10:30.

That’s when my Job Centre appointment.

I’m … a touch nervous about it.

I’ve a new case officer: it’s my second meeting with her.

The call, itself?   Is to prepare what’s called a Commitments review: prepare for going over what I have to do to find work.

We’ll have to see how that goes!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-4-2017

You know … 

I’ve got the Today programme on, again: on Radio Four.

And, of course, there’s a political interview on the go.

John Humphrys just gave Nigel Farage a beasting, if you’re wondering.

Oh, and a little later on?   Labour MP, Emily Thornberry was interview by Humphrys.

And would not tell anyone what Labour’s position on Brexit.   Which has lost them the election, I think.

My point?

Is that I’ve had vague memories of Spitting Image floating around my head, since I got up.

In amongst songs about chickens?

No-one — politicians in particular — was safe.

To the point where the show’s producer’s were asked NOT to broadcast an election special until AFTER the relevant year’s election.

I have to ask.

Where the hell is Spitting Image, when it’s really needed?

The Brentwood Gazette’s Weekly Teaser — 20-4-2016: UN Chinese Language Day

Bad Egg!

Blimey … !

The shop had no French sticks!

I’m off to work, this afternoon: and start at two.

So, obviously, was planning a biggish, and late, lunch, today.

Preferably?

Preferably, with a ham baguette.

Except my local Nisa’s … ?

Had run out out of French sticks!

Guess I’ll have t have a sandwich, instead.
