Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th May 2026

29th May, 2026.


Right … it’s Friday, 29th May.

And … ?

I’m expecting a cable to turn up, today: to go with the various bits and bobs that will charge my new game controller.

The charging plug, I should add, turned up yesterday morning.

The controller … ?

Still hasn’t run out of juice: so it’s going to be a while before I need it all.

Heigh … ho!

~≈🎮≈~

Going totally off-piste?

I’m getting a few comments on some of my YouTube videos.

Which is;
  • Nice.
  • About bloody time.
I’m grateful, either Way: and wondering at how long it’s taken … 

~≈🕸️≈~

As a final point … ?

My contract with my ISP is up, next week: so … ?

I’ve phoned them, yesterday: to both renegotiate, AND to confirm I’m still unemployed.

I gain access to a cheaper price, that way.

I’ve ALSO asked for the faster, full-fibre, connection.

It’s only slightly more expensive.

And hopefully will make a noticeably difference to upload speeds.

That’ll come in handy, when uploading to YouTube …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th May 2023.

29th May, 2023.


Yes: it’s Bank Holiday Monday.

Again.

Which means … not a lot, actually … 

I’ll pick up a loaf, locally: rather than in the High Street, for example.

And … ?

I’ll probably watch watch a TV show.

We’ll see.

~≈ 🍞 ≈~

Talking of which … ?

A few days ago. the Daily Telegraph announce the government was working with various supermarkets: to try and introduce voluntary price caps for various foods.

Today … ?

A pice form the BBC tells us that many retailers arguing that such a move won’t make much in the way of a difference.

To paraphrase Mandy Rice-Davies?

“They would say that, wouldn’t they … ?”

At any rate … ?

I tend to buy some my local supermarket’s own brand stuff: the cheaper ones.

But — voluntary, or otherwise — would welcome a cap.

In the words of one company’s strap-line?

Every little helps!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th May, 2022.

29th May, 2022.


Right … it’s a Sunday!

And one I’m expecting to be quiet.

But … ?

I can at least wave a couple of videos at you, and ask you something.

Can you hit Like on this video by my nephew?


It’d be nice to get him to thirty likes!

While I’m at it?

I’ve reviewed the tenth episode of Star Trek Discovery’s fourth series: feel free to share!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th May, 2018

29th May, 2018.


Yes, it’s officially official: it’s a day off … 

Possibly one I can can watch a movie on: I’ve got a few things in the collection … 

At ANY rate … ?

I’d like to head out, at some point: if for no other reason than to chase up a GP’s appointment, following up on the scan results.

Thinking it’d be nice and sunny.

And … ?   Wouldn’t you know it?   Wouldn’t you JUST know it … ?

It’s raining.

Is it just me, or is life still a four letter word … ?

The Daily Teaser — 29-5-2015

Wowsa … 

I’ve got a day off … !

I have got to admit, I’m loving the fact that back at work: after some four years unemployment.

But … ?   You could TELL there was a but coming, couldn’t you?

But this week has seen me working every day of the week, except today, and tomorrow: and tomorrow sees a staff meeting at silly o’clock!

Still, in all that … ?   In all that, a day off — on payday, too! — is quite nice to have.

OK, granted, I’ve got bills to pay.   Granted, my pay isn’t going to last THAT long.   GRANTED, I’m back at work on Sunday*.   But still … 

A day off!
