Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-1-2024 — Tricolour Day.

7th January, 2024: Tricolour Day.


Yes: it’s officially official.

I’ve been experimenting.

OK, ok: not seriously experimenting.

More like playing.

With, believe it or not, with the air-fryer I got for Christmas.

Yes, I’ve worked out how long it takes to cook a baked potato: which includes the enormous one the vegetable stall in Brentwood High Street does.

Oh, and I did sausages I needed for a sausage sandwich, lunchtime, in the thing, too.

Daft as it sounds?

It’s a nice learning experience.

If you’re not in the UK, you possibly don’t know about the Post Office Horizon scandal.

To try and summarise?

Many sub-postmasters — the folks that run the small sub-branches you’ll find in many shops in the UK — have been falsely accursed of various shades of fraud: after being issued with faulty computer software.

It’s a story I’ve had half an eye on for many years.

So couldn’t help but the recent coverage of the scandal.

Coverage … that was a result of the ITV series, Mr Bates vs The Post Office.

I’ll possibly have to catch that.

Although I’ll have to ask … 

Why on Earth has something that’s been brewing since at least 2009 … now getting more coverage?

I always amazes me what a TV show can do …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-6-2022 — Festa della Repubblica

2nd June, 2022.


Right … it’s Thursday.

And, frankly?   I’m baby — ha! — sitting my nephew, this evening.

I don’t think we’ll be marking the Jubilee: not if I know my nephew!

At any rate … ?

It looks like the day’s going to be glorious …

Many moons ago?

I and some friends — hello, Sean and* Laura, if your reading this! — went to see a play called My Grandmother was a Timelord: a piece that was a hell of a lot of fun.


To the point where Sean wanted to find out more.

Unfortunately?

He’s not been able to find a thing.

If you know anything about it?

Feel free to give Sean and Laura’s Tyche’s Games Facebook page a poke.
