Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th December 2025.

29th December, 2025.

It’s officially official: I’ve had a delivery.

Of a film: and some vitamin D tablets.

At least one of those is going to come in handy: and keep me healthy.

The other … ?

Was the unfinished Ralph Bakshi version of The Lord of the Rings.

Which I first saw many years ago: and thought I should watch, again, after seeing Bakshi’s Wizards.

I have to ask one thing, though.

I’ve shown you the trailer, there.

And … ?

I’m feeling cynical about the thing: it describes the film as being “… beyond the reaches of the imagination”.

Which is a bit contradictory.

When someone clearly imagined enough of the movie, to get the thing made!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th December, 2021.

29th December, 2021.

It’s official: I’ve survived Jude’s Birthday bowling party.

And the meal afterwards: that burger at Frankie and Bennies was a bit bigger than I though it would be.

Fun was, quite literally, had by all.

The aftermath, though … ?

Is quite simple.

My elbow aches: as a result of hefting eight kilo bowling balls around.

My ability to put some back spin into a bowl … ?

Is suffering!

I follow the technology news, sometimes.

And can’t help but notice the oddities that crop up, occasionally.

A few days ago?   We found out that Tesla cars had games in the touch screens drivers could use to monitor their car’s performance.

Games that could have been used, whilst the car was moving.

Something that’s now been disabled.

Given we know people have crashed, sending text messages whilst driving?

I’m wondering who enabled games in the first place?!

Tesla’s not the only one.

It seems a bored ten year old managed to find a flaw in Amazon’s Alexa AI assistant.

When she asked it to give her a challenge.

Alexa told her to plug a charger halfway into the socket: and touch it with a penny.

Sensibly?   Amazon have since revised the software.

You have to wonder what happened there … ?
