Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd November 2025


22nd November, 2025.


It’s officially official … I’ve paid my bills … !

Well … all bar the gas bill: and that I can get done, today.

Strangely, though … ?

I’m grateful it’s rain, out: that I’m going to get wet, heading out to pay the thing.

As, going by the predictions for my area … ?

It’s going to be warmer than it was, yesterday!

~≈☔️≈~

Coins … … … 

I have coins.

Which you’d possibly guessed.

But the weird thing … ?

Is that it’s only now — some years after his coronation, and after notes and coins with the King’s face on them started circulating — that I’ve received Charles 3rd coins in my change.


Yes, I know.

That’s not exactly note-worthy.

But … ?

It struck me as mildly coincidental that I have £1·05 worth of the things.

In other words, cash equivalent to an old English coin called a guinea, worth twenty-one shillings back then … 

And £1·05, now.

The reason it struck me as significant?

Is race horses are usually auctioned in guineas*, even now.

And the King, much like his late mother, is a bit of a one for the gee gees …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd November, 2018

22nd November, 2018.


It’s officially official.

I had an interview over in Harold Hill, yesterday: managing to get myself good and lost, in the process.

Which was possibly a bad omen.

Unfortunately?

I didn’t get the job.

I will give the company credit for at least getting in touch with me, quickly, and letting me know.

Letting me know:

That I’d not got the job.
That they’d be recruiting for their Customer Care team in February
I’d be welcome to try again, then.

That’s something, I suppose … 

Although, hopefully?

I’d’ve found something, by then …

The Daily Teaser — 22-11-2015

Right, I think I’ve got a long day.

Actually, no, scrub that, I know I’ve got a long day.

First things first … ?   It’s staff meeting time.

Which is nice.   Usually we end up learning a lot: and whether we’ve done well at the up-sell contest.

On top of THAT … ?
I’m working 12:30 ’til 18:30.

Which I’m thinking will be tiring, but, on the upside … ?   It’ll help pay for Christmas.

Turtles — given a certain relative has a thing about the Ninja Turtles — seem to be the thing … !

The Daily Teaser — 22-11-2014

Ladies and gentleman, it’s Official.

We now have an extra link!

Just in case you hadn’t noticed, if you scroll down, you’ll see a link to the site of Old Peculiar regular, Debbi Mack.

And under that … ?


Is a link to the Hidden Herstories site: who’ve been kind enough to put in a reciprocal link, back here.

Which is helpful for all concerned.   From what I’ve understood, part of how Google — and other search engines — works is by counting the number of links going into a site: and boosting it up the search results, as a result.

If you’d like a link here — and can put a link to the Old Peculiar on your site — feel free to leave me a comment: or send me an email.

Now … 

Let’s get a move on, shall we?
