Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th November 2023

27th November, 2023.

Right … it’s a definite!

I’m both tired: and up early!

Yep: it’s Monday.   So it’s weight management group day.

I’m walking there, in the rain.

Which is something to look forward to!

I’m tired … because of late nights and early morning!

Yes: I finally finished my written and video reviews of The Star Beast!

Feel free to share the video version, folks!

Nik Nak‘s Daily Teaser — 27th November, 2019.

27th November, 2019.

Yes: I’m officially of to the dentist, today, to get my teeth cleaned.

It’s not something I’ve seen mentioned in anyone’s election manifesto, this year.

But?   If you’re receiving Universal Credit in the UK, you can get a certain amount of dental treatment for free.

Including hygienist appointments: so long as you use a trainee … 

I’m not complaining.

Even if I do end up getting strapped to a chair, it’s an afternoon out.

The Daily Teaser — 27-11-2015

Hmmm … 

You DO know it’s what’s known as Black Friday, don’t you?

In other words it’s the day after Thanksgiving: the US holiday.   And a major shopping event.

Personally?   I’ve got no problem with anyone in the US having a long weekend, and taking advantage of shopping deals.   I see it as the US equivalent of the Boxing Day sales, seen — in the past — here in the UK.

I have no problem with that.

What bothers me?

Is that shops in the UK have started to have Black Friday events.

I, personally, object.

As the day is a shopping day the day after a US holiday.

Here in the UK?

Here in the UK, Thanksgiving is not a public holiday.

Why the hell we’re marking the shopping day AFTER a holiday we don’t mark, I don’t know.

Especially after last year, when seriously assaults were reported*?

Ye gods!
