Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14th January, 2019

14th January, 2019.

Yes: it’s officially official … I’ve taken a brief few sneak moments, this morning, to quickly watch the video — or one of them — for the Bangles hit, Walk Like an Egyptian.

All well and good.

But saw the poses, there: the one that try and reproduce the ones on Egyptian tomb paints … ?

And immediately wondered where Wilson, Keppel and Betty, where … 

~≈§≈~

Just as a quick thought … ?

If you, like me, are in the UK, and listening to the news … ?

You probably can’t escape Brexit.

I voted remain, to be honest: and still believe that leaving will be bad for the UK.

There is, thought, still talk of several things.

A second referendum being one of them.

Personally, I’d like one: and hope it would get a remain result.

As, right at the moment?

Leaving seems to be causing a good, old fashioned riot.

I do know one speculated form for any second referendum would take the form of two referenda.

The first would be a rerun of the 2016 vote.

Should we remain, or leave the EU?

If the result is leave, a second referendum would ask people what form of Brexit they want: hard Brexit, No Deal, the May plan, what have you.

Right now?

I think there’s no time to arrange this.

But it’s possibly the form the thing should’ve taken in 2016.

David Cameron and company should have said what sort of Brexit they’d push for, if they lost.

That way?   People would have more information to make a decision.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14-1-2017

That’s a thought: one that started bothering me, last night.

Bits of paper … 

Bits of paper, right?   Keep that in mind, ok.

I work in a call centre: and, at the end of each calm, try and make sure the caller walks away with the call reference number.

That way?   If they want or need to chase up the call, later, they can quote the number, and we can look it up, much more quickly.

During those initial calls?

One of the last things I do … ?

Is ask people if they have a pen and a piece of paper.

So they can write that reference number down.

What always surprises me?

Is the amount of people who need to go and find a pen: which is understandable, you can never find one when you need one.

And on top of that?

The amount of people who can never find a piece of paper.

Surprising?   Yes, of course it’s surprising.

I’m both human … and a man.

And, like a lot of men, I’ve got a wallet.

With half a ton of receipts in it: that I never get around to throwing away.

You can’t in all honesty, tell me you can’t find a piece of paper … !

Oy veh!
