Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th October, 2019.

29th October, 2019.


Right … I actually had a phone call, yesterday: from the contractors who repair boilers for my landlord.

Well … they rang once: which means I phoned them back, near enough instantly.

It seems they’ve managed to arrange a supervisors visit for Wednesday afternoon.

The first thing I said to myself, when I put the phone down … ?

“At LAST!”

Understandably!

The sooner the thing’s repaired or replaced, the happier I’ll be!

The Lord of the Rings — A review

1st April, 2019.


OK … I know … 

It’s April Fool’s Day.

But frankly?

I could never see the point of leaping out on someone and yelling ‘April Fool’ … after playing a damn silly — and possibly unfunny — joke on them.

We have to ask: “Paul, are you turning into a grumpy old git?”

I think the answer’s going to be “Yes,” at the moment!

~≈§≈~

Grumpy or otherwise?

Grumpy or otherwise, and in-between the stuff I should be doing?

Is one simple fact.

Occasionally, I like a movie.

You’ve possible worked that out, already: especially if’ve read what I wrote about The Limehouse Golem.

Hmm … 

I’ll be honest?

I think I’ve got something going on, right now.

Yes: much like tonights film, I’m on a quest.

In my case, for an emotionally satisfying movie.

In the case of the Ralph Bakshi directed, 1978 version of The Lord of the Rings … ?

I’m not sure I could tell you.
