Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd July, 2024.

2nd July, 2024.


Right then: it’s officially Tuesday!

Which is going to be nice and quiet, I think.

At least I hope so: I’d like to get some quizzes written.

~≈∏≈~

Or possibly watch some TV.

If I did want to … ?

There’s a very good possibility that a new channel — station? service? — will show up on my AppleTV at some point.

As Rupert Murdoch’s Fox company is planning is planning to introduce its ad supported Tubi service.

I think it’s a crowded market … but that’s never stopped people, before!

~≈∏≈~

Just as a last thought … ?

I’ve an earworm, this morning.

Syd Dale’s “Marching There and Back”, best remembered as the theme tune to an old quiz show called Screen Test.


I have fond memories of Screen Test.

There were times the only way you’d see the first two Dalek stories — The Daleks or Dalek Invasion Of Earth — was if the BBC aired the film versions on a Saturday morning.

Or, more commonly?

If Screen Test used a famous clip in one of its quizzes!


That was exciting stuff!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd July, 2022.

2nd July, 2022.


OK … have I used too many versions of the word, ‘official,’ there?

At any rate … ?

The washing machine is now fixed: at no charge, as it was still — just! — under warranty.

What went wrong?

Apparently, there’d been a power surge, somewhere along the line.

A power surge that interfered with the control board*: so all he had to do was reprogram it.

Through a panel at the back of the machine!

It took him about half an hour, from start to finish.

I’m thankful: both the it was quick, and didn’t cost me anything.

Quite what I’d’ve done if it had been out of warranty?

And had to pay?

I don’t know.
