Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th August, 2018.

29th August, 2018.


You’re right.

You KNOW you are!

You’re looking at that intro video and thinking ‘He’s forgotten to write “INTRO” in the bit where it says “TITLE TEXT HERE.”’

Silly Me!

At any rate, I managed to catch Patient Seven, last night.

It’s possible not the best horror anthology I’ve seen.

But it is fun: and an entertaining watch.

~≈§≈~

Just as a quick point?

You’ll possibly realise I’m something of a news hound: following the news of the 3-d printed gun in the US with a certain amount of worry.

The makers, Defence Distributed, believe that selling the designs of three-d printable guns, online is a good thing.

I don’t.

I think a lot of people agree with me.

Including at least one US court: that’s banned them from selling the plans, online.

Defence Distributed have worked out how to get around that.

By selling USB memory sticks … with the plans on them … by mail order … 

There’s always one, isn’t there … ?

The Daily Teaser — 29-8-2014

Hmmm … 

That’s awkward: the plumber didn’t turn up … !

I have to confess, I had a plumber booked up for yesterday: to fix a leaky u-bend.

Not a big repair.   Well … not one that needed fixing in a hurry, or that couldn’t be dealt with by putting a bucket under the leak.

Still, it was booked.   I was in, ready and waiting … 

And they never came.

It seems they had a couple of emergency call outs to deal with, first … !

Well, I say never turned up.

I WILL give my landlord’s credit: for sending me a text message to let me know when the plumber WAS on the way.

Five minutes before I was due to head for the Job Centre, to do my daily job search.   Which, unless I want to lose my benefit, is something I can’t miss.

Yeah … awkward … 

Awkward … 

But at least I’ve managed to rebook the visit.
