Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25-3-2026 — Greece is the Word. (Ten Questions)

25th March, 2026: Greece is the Word.


OK … there’s been a lot going on, recently … 

For one thing?

YouTube’s playing silly buggers, uploading today’s Teaser video.

Well … they were … or BT’s internet connection was.

One of the two … !

At any rate?

That didn’t stop me uploading a video, last night.

Yes: I caught the penultimate episode of Stranger Things, and finally posted my review.


Make of that, what you will … !

Nicholas Brendon died, a few days ago.

I knew from his work in Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, playing the affable everyman, Xander Harris.

So I was sad to hear about his death.

But equally, puzzled: as, from the little I read?

He died in bed, of natural causes: at fifty-four.

Of natural causes!

I have to admit to being puzzled.

I know he had addiction issues.

But fifty-four seems too young to be dying of natural causes.

All I can do is be puzzled by his death … whilst offering his loved ones my condolences.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29-8-2019: Cash

29th August, 2019.


Yes: we have a prorogued Parliament*.

Boris Johnson has taken the step of proroguing — suspending, in other words — Parliament yesterday.

Something that’s usually done during an election, or over Parliament’s Summer Recess.

And that the Johnson administration say is to prepare for a Queen’s Speech on 14th October, this year.

But many — myself included — feel is an attempt to block attempts to stop a no-deal Brexit.

And the day after opposition leaders had agreed a way of doing just that.

It’s also something that’s — apparently — entirely legal.

Personally?

I want my country back.

But am very aware Boris has tied us face down over a barrel, and taken his trousers off.

The Daily Teaser — 8-12-2015

Blimey, it get’s odder … 

Well, maybe odder’s not the word.

Maybe the word is … um … 

Actually, I’m not too sure what the word is.

But, can I ask you is you remember me mentioning the raid in the flat over the road from me, a couple of days ago?

Well, the story’s got legs, to use an old phrase.

You see, I’ve had news .

For starters, and as I may have already mentioned, it turns out the raid was performed by the Metropolitan Police: rather than the Essex Police whose patch Brentwood is.

Well, yesterday, I had a phone call from someone in a very good position to know what’s going on.

Apparently?

There were two men arrested at the flat, during the raid.

As it turns out … ?

On suspicious of murdering a 17-year-old teenager called Gary Scott, in Marquis Road, Finsbury Park.

Yes, you’re right.

The word is “Blimey!”
