Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th August 2026.

6th August, 2026.

Yep: that’s right.

I woke up with Hazel O’Connor’s “Eighth Day” banging its way around my head.

Why?

I don’t know.

But my only way of dealing with it … ?

Is to play more Hazel O’Connor.

Or play you my nephew’s latest!

Just don’t ask about pizza.

Bloody Domino’s website, grrr, mutter, mutter … … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16th May, 2021

16th May, 2021.

Yes: it’s Sunday.

And frankly?

Yes: it means I’ve dug up the big pot, and started boil washing my tea towels.

Well, they need doing … !

~≈†≈~

You know, I’m half wishing I’d taken a screenshot!

Remember I had a scam text message, a couple of days ago?   One that — almost — drained all of the credit from my mobile phone.

Well, I had another one, last night.

From — apparently! — Hermes.

Yes, I wish I’d screen shot it: I’d half a mind showing it to you could be a good idea.

Still, telling you I had one seems a sensible idea!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 16th May, 2018

16th May, 2018.

Bugger … !

Bugger, and double bugger!

I’ve lost my gas card!

I don’t know about you, but I pay for my gas on a pay-as-you-go tariff.

For lots of reasons, I should add.

One of them?   Simply the fact I can see how much is on my metre, and vary the amount I pay, according to need … and what’s already on the metre.

I topped up, last night: at a Chelmsford branch of the Co-op.

Get home … went to get my card, to put it in the metre … 

Only to find it wasn’t in my wallet … 

I’d either lost it: don’t I can see the funny comments!

Or I’ve left the blessed thing at the Co-op.   Something I plan to check when I go to work, tonight.

I know I can ALSO phone my suppliers.

Normally?

I’d prefer not to bother getting a new one.

No, really.

The fact I’m going to have to … ?   And largely mostly because of my own silliness?

Means I’ll be kicking myself until I find it … 

~≈§≈~

Just as a brief thought … ?   Before I move on … ?

It turns out Margot Kidder, who played Lois Lane in the Christopher Reeve Superman movies of the 70s And 80s, has died at the age of 69.

That’s sad.

I can remember seeing her play the part.

And feel no-one since?   Managed to pin a tough-as-nails reporter to the floor.

No-one else played Lois, the way Margot Kidder did.

Lois has died with her, as far as I’m concerned.
