Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13th December 2022.

13th December, 2022.

Did I mention there’s a series of strikes on, in the UK?

There’s a series of strikes on, in the UK.

So you know.

A forty-eight hour rail strikes starts today, for example.

Not something I like, as — were I working — this would be something that directly affects me.

But, generally?

They’re something I’m sympathetic to: I know how badly I’m coping with things, so can only imagine how others are.

Sunday?

There was a postal strike: that affected parcel deliveries and sorting offices.

Yesterday?   There wasn’t a strike.

But but the area was struck by unusually bad weather.

We had … no post.

I’m assuming that the mix of weather and industrial action means there was none.   Or, at least, none that could be delivered.

That’s a little worrying.

As I’m due to receive the next in a series of vouchers the go towards my fuel bills.

We’ll have to see what happens …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13th December, 2018.

13th December, 2018.

Yes: Mrs May is still the Prime Minister of the UK.

After having survived a Vote of No Confidence held by her party.

Frankly?   For those of us concerned that the #Brexit process could be going faster, that’s a day wasted: on Tory party politics, rather than the important stuff.

Oy … Vey … !

On other fronts?

I’ve got to look into the Job centre, today.

Which is nice.

Yes: there’s a reason.

Something that’s come up from a couple of jobs?   Is there simple refusal to grant me an interview … without photographic ID.

I can appreciate that.   No employer wants to run afoul of immigration law, by inadvertently hiring an illegal immigrant.

But bloody awkward if you don’t actually have any!

Thankfully?

Thankfully, though, the Job Centre’s happy to fund a new Provisional Driving License for me.

One of the modern ones that come with a photo.

That should help.

So long as I fill in the form that tells them where to putt the money … !

Blast … !

My alarm didn’t go off!

Thankfully, it’s a day off.

And thankfully?

It doesn’t affect my ability to collect any Amazon deliveries that choose to turn up.

But still … 

DAMN … !

The Daily Teaser — 13-12-2014

Blimey … 

Right at the moment … ?   Right at the moment, I’ve got last night’s episode of QI on: which is hysterical, as ever.

And, going by one question?

Apparently, it turns out the chimps and gorillas trained to use sign language, back in the 1970s … could lie … 

Lie … 

Quite what to make of that, I don’t know.

But if that doesn’t get you — as it got me — getting pensive … ?

Well …
