Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th January 2026.

27th January, 2026: Is Len In … ?


Yes: I know what you’re thinking … 

You’re looking at today’s picture — complete with a well known Russian leader — then staring at the date at the top of the page.

And thinking “That’s a bad pun.”

What can I tell you … ?

Bar “There’s a better one, over here”?

~≈⁉️≈~

Hmmm … 

I’ve been suspended from Twitter/X, again.

Although it MAY be for a shorter time than recently.

I don’t know.

But if you’re on the service, and CAN see me?

Can you let me know?

I should be under Following, if at all.

At any rate … that’s not what I was going to mention.

I was going to tell you that Facebook announced they were going to add an ad-free subscription service, last year.

Well, yesterday, I logged into FB on my desktop … and got the message about it … 


I went for the free option.

That’s more affordable.

Even though, at £2·99p, it’s cheaper than Twitter’s basic offering …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th January, 2021.

27th January, 2021.


Right … it’s a Wednesday … 

A Wednesday after I’ve had a dentist appointment: I had a filling, if you’re curious.

I’ve managed to bag a hygienist appointment, as well.

And an Amazon delivery.

More Marmite*, so you know.

And — amongst other things — a pair of toenail clippers, a blu-ray, some soda crystal — my drains need cleaning — a cuddly toy, a copy of Killing for Company …  … 

And a copy of k. d. lang’s Ingénue: effectively, disc one of the version on Spotify.


It is still one hell of an album.

And Miss Chatelaine?   Possibly one of the best love songs going …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th January, 2018

27th, January, 2018.


Which is true … 

That I hate early mornings.

Still, needs must, and all that: it is, after all, pay for rent, and dinner.

Right now, though?

I’m grateful I’ve got a teapot.

Lot’s of tea’s always appreciated …

~≈Ê≈~

Oh … 


Apparently, various forms of slime are now the must-have toy: after a spate of slime based videos hit YouTube.

Apparently, and according to that news-piece, it’s an over night success, after a long time.

I should say so.

I can remember selling pots of similar products when I worked in a toy shop.

That was about thirty years ago …

The Daily Teaser — 27-1-2016

Ah-HA!

I’ve done it!

I’ve officially sold the laptop I was selling.   To a local hairdresser, to be honest, and for a reasonable good price.

Enough for Ruth to get an amount of cash she was happy with.

And for me to treat myself to take out fish chips and a movie.

It’s all good!

The Daily Teaser — 27-1-2015

Hmmm … 

Hmmm … … … !

Hmmm … … … … … … … !!!!!!!

It’s Tuesday.

And frankly?   Frankly, Celebrity Big Brother STILL hasn’t finished … !

OK, I’m not complaining too much.

There is, after all, plenty of interesting TV doing the rounds: including the potted history of Magna Carta I’ve got on in the background.

David Starkey always manages to knock out a good one, bless him.

But, guess what?

There’s still no Gotham.

Honk, bloody honk!
