Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-9-2021: The Day The World Changed

11th September, 2021.


Right … it’s a Saturday morning: one that — looking out of the window — looking distinctly overcast.

Hopefully?   And much like yesterday?

I’ll avoid any potential rain.

You know, I’m willing to bet people are going to whinge.

About money, and prices.   I know I do.

So, of course, I couldn’t help but notice the news.

3 — the mobile phone providers — are to re-introduce roaming charges to any UK customer travelling in the EU.

And that PayPal are to raise charges for UK customers, sending money to, or receiving money from, the EU area.

I’m willing to bet many who voted Leave, in the 2016 Referendum, are complaining.

“We voted for freedom,” many would say.

Well, yes.

But, from the little I’ve understood?

It also means a lack of food on the shelves: because there’s a lack of European lorry drivers living in the UK.

And prices going up: because dealing with Europe mean paying extra charges.

Frankly?

We should have stayed in.

And should maybe rejoin.

Frankly, anything that put prices down is a good thing.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8th April, 2021.

8th April, 2021



Yes: it’s officially official … I had a late night, last night.

Writing my review of the first episode of For All Mankind, series two.


And it has to be said, it looks rather impressive.

The Daily Teaser — 8-4-2015

Oh, well, that’s THAT done … !

You’ve probably known — for some time — that I’m a fan of writer, Sir Terry Pratchett.

His recent death was something that saddened me, deeply: especially as he’d died from Alzheimer’s, a condition that complicated my grandmother.

I’m looking forward to The Shepherd’s Crown, his last novel: it get’s released in September.

With a certain amount of sadness: I, as every other fan, won’t be able to get it autographed.

Saying that … ?   Saying that, I’ve been keeping my eyes on Discworld Monthly, over on Facebook.

And several people have managed to change they message alert tone to the Bingley Bingley Beep noise used by the Dis-organisers owned by Sir Samuel Vimes.

Something I’ve done myself.

I might have to change that.

I can see why Old Stoneface get’s annoyed … …
