Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 31-7-2024 — Rum Runners.

31st July, 2024: Rum Runners.

It’s official: it’s Wednesday!

And … ?

It’s going to be quiet, I think.

Well … bar the pounding of feet.

I’m due to have a colonoscopy, next week.

And, in the run up to the day?

I’ve got to take a set of laxatives.

I’m wearing a whole in the floor, already!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18th October, 2021.

18th October, 2021. 

It’s a Monday morning.

You’ve possibly noticed, haven’t you?

And frankly, the start of a new week.

Which means … ?

Not much.

My benefit’s gone down: it’s frightening to see by exactly how much.

Wondering how I and others managed, prior to the Pandemic?

Is depressing.

To say the least.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18th October, 2018

18th October, 2018.

Hmmm … 

I was going to do my usual thing.

Tell you about the earworm that’s wondering around my head.

Except it seems to have wondered off: without actually telling me what it is.

Shame, that … 

~≈§≈~

In other news?

Apparently, Google are to shut down their Google+ social network.

Party because it gets comparatively little use compared to other such networks.

But partly because of a big data breach.

I’m … 

Hmmm … 

I’m not sure how I feel about that.

As far as I can tell, my data’s safe.

But I can appreciate people will not be happy.

I’m worried, though: as — as far as I can tell — clicking that G+ button has a small but noticeable effect on the amount of hits this blog gets.

We’ll have to see what happens, won’t we?

~≈§≈~

Just as a couple of points?

Can someone tell me to lay of the massive, multiplayer online roleplaying games?

Oh, and Michael Caine’s written a memoir … 

Ho hum … 

~≈§≈~

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-3-2017: Oh, Lord … !

Oh, now that’s a pain … 

You’ve possible worked out I like a two monitor set up.

Well … My main screen is fine: it’s what I’m using to write this, in fact.

My second monitor?

My second monitor, died, yesterday: quite why it started flickering, then gave up the ghost?

I really couldn’t say.

But I want to get a new cable: just to rule that out … 

~≈¶≈~

In other news … ?

In other news, rock and roll legend, founding father and song-writer extraordinaire, Chuck Berry, has died: at the age of ninety.

Only weeks after completing his first album for 40 years.

What can I tell you?

Except that the man was one hell of an influence: especially when you consider the Beatles, the Stones and many others, were influenced by him.

Ninety years?   Is one hell of a good innings

A having a seventy odd year career, during that?

Is fantastic.

Being THE icon … ?

Well … 

He’ll be missed …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18-10-2016

Well, blimey … !

There’s a thing!

As you know, I’ve recently started a new job.

At a call centre over in Chelmsford.

It’s the past few days?

I’ve been in training: so that I can handles those calls, myself.

Last night … ?

Saw me handling my first call.

Which — going by the co-worker I’d been buddied up with, last night — I’d handled rather well.

Hopefully?   That’s a good sign.

~≈Ê≈~

I have to admit, though?   I was really nervous handling those calls.

But one thing that — sort of — put a smile on my face?   Was the PC I and my partner were using, crashing.

Turns out one of us had kicked the thing: which meant both the power cord, and mouse had been disconnected.

And also meant I spent about five minutes on my hands and knees, reconnecting everything.

Well … 

It got a cheap laugh, if nothing else.

Now … what am I always saying about getting a Mac … ?
