Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd July, 2024.

22nd July, 2024.


Right … Monday … !

And … ?

I’m off to my weight management class, today.

Hopefully … ?

I’ll’ve lost something.

Even if it’s only my wits!

Oh, we’re waking up, in the UK.

To the news that President Biden has stepped down as the Democrat Presidential candidate in this years election: and endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris as his replacement.

I hope she gets the presidency, come November: it would be the first time the US has elected a female head of state.

It’s about time the US caught up!

To be honest, though … ?

I think it’s going to be a close race.

I can just see Trump milking the assassination attempt for all it’s worth.

Especially if he’s facing a woman.

The Invisible Man (1933): The Review.

19th January, 2019.


Yes!

After having to send the application form in, three damn times?



I’ve got my provisional driving license in.

The first time — with money, adoption papers, postal order, and God knows what else — so I could get the thing to use as ID.

Learning to drive, later, would be a good thing: when I’ve got the money.

But as ID now, it’s a good thing to have.

The second time I sent it in?   Was after the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency sent it back … because I’d forgotten to sign the application … !

Signature done, form, ID, posted sent back … 

Only to land in my post box, again … 

Asking for details of addresses that I’d sent in the previous two times … 

Despite the fact I’d sent them in the previous two times … 

If you’ve ever seen Gilliam’s Brazil, or read/played West End Games’ Paranoia?

You can possibly imagine the fun … 

~≈§≈~

At any rate … ?

At any rate, that, and other bits and bobs, is now safely parked in my wallet.

And can be safely forgotten about: until such time as I need it.

Hopefully?



Hopefully, I’ll get some thing turning up: soon.

Although, frankly, since having the interviews over the past couple of weeks … 

If you could keep your fingers crossed for me … ?

Thanks!

Either way … ?



I am a man with a … 

Well, I would say ‘mission’ … except I’ve no idea what that mission would be, if I had one.

Let’s say, then, that I’m a man with time on his hands … 

And a collection of videos sitting around, asking to be watched.



And the occasional desire to see the odd movie.

Tonight’s film … ?

The James Whale directed, 1933 version of …
