Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30-12-2020: Mr Kipling

30th December, 2020.

I think I can say I’m … if not worried … then certainly mildly concerned.

My home town of Brentwood is in Essex: which is now in Tier 4, the highest of Covid 19 restrictions.

For starters?

NHS providers in Essex, and the County Council, have declared that the county in having a Major Incident.

Quite what the implications of that are, I don’t know.

But I can’t imagine them being good.

Brexit … … 

I can’t help but think Brexit is a … bad thing: and not goo for the UK.

I honestly believe it’s bad for the UK.

The agreement that’s due to be voted on, today, that governs the UK’s relationship with the EU?   Specifically mentions ‘modern e-mail software packages,’: including Mozilla Mail and Netscape Communicator 4.x.

As far as I can see, there’s never been a Mozilla Mail: it’s always been called Thunderbird.

And the last stable release was in 2002.

It’s been retired for many years.

If the UK’s negotiators got that wrong … ?

What else have they messed up?

Just as a final thought?

I’ve managed to catch Wonder Woman 1984.

Point A)?

It’s rather good.

Point B)?

Wonder Woman 3 has been green lit!

I’m looking forward to that!

Especially if Wonder Woman crops up.

Hmmm … 

OK … 

This year’s New Year’s Honours list has been published.   And seeing various people — from actors to former politicians to research scientists — getting various shades of gong.

All good: the fact a lot of people who do volunteer work with various local charities, and a lot of otherwise obscure research scientists.

There’s a lot of public servants — like nurses and teachers — getting various shades of gong.

It’s not just celebrities, politicians and civil servants who’ve impressed their political bosses.

However … 

I think we can say it’s short of a certain something.

I, personally, might have missed it … 

But I couldn’t see anyone who’d been nominated for services to blogging on the complete list.

You can nominate your favourite blogger, at the UK government’s nomination page: over here

*.

And if that’s not a big hint for any of the regulars, I don’t know what is!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30-12-2016

You know, I actually managed to catch a film, last night.

Frankly, I’m happy about that.

I’ve not managed to catch one for some time.

I did last night: I watched Nicolas Winding Refn’s The Neon Demon.

Can I make a confession … ?

That is definitely one strange /film … !

The Daily Teaser — 30-12-2015

Right … 

It’s a Wednesday … 

You know that.

And, as ever, it’s a Wednesday where I’m feeling vaguely — or possibly deeply — rushed.

This IS, after all, the first of a few posts: I’ll be adding the ones for the Gazette, in a while.

AND I’ve got to get to work for 12:30.

All that … ?

And I think another cup of tea’s in order!
