Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th January 2023 Teaser.

20th January, 2023.

Right, it’s officially official.

I’m up early.

As I’ve got a meeting with my Job Centre case worker at 11.

I’m thinking I should go back to bed.

After all, an early start after a late night finish, reviewing a movie.

Here’s hoping the meeting goes well: and that everyone enjoys the review.

One thing I do know?

Is the my appeal — over the Job Centre’s refusal of extra help — is still going on.

I’ve been chasing the Government’s Court Service for some time, now: to see when, or if, a hearing would take place.

It seems part of the reason I HADN’T heard … ?

Was that — somewhere along the line — my case had been duplicated: and assigned two different case number.

And that — along side this — the relevant bodies at the Department of Work and Pensions hadn’t sent in the relevant paperwork.

Or, at least, hadn’t sent it in, under the right case number.

They’ve now re-submitted it.

I’ve not heard about a hearing date, as yet: but have been given an online .GOV account — another one! — so I can keep track of things.

That could be handy.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th January, 2019.

20th January, 2019.

Right … it’s a definite: I saw the Claude Rains/Jame Whale version of The Invisible Man, last night.

It’s quite something to watch: especially when Griffin, the Invisible Man himself?

Unwraps the bandages.

The phrase ‘skull-like’ springs to mind.

And, from what I can tell?

The bit’s of the film where Rains, as the central character, unwraps the bandages from his head are done with a very early version of Colour separation overlay.

The same thing that powers the animation you’ll see at the start of today’s intro video.

One day … ?

I’ll get the hang of it!

There’s one sad bit of news I caught, last night.

No, nothing to do with Brexit, OR Prince Phillip.

Actually?   It was a car bomb … outside a courthouse in what’s variously called Derry, or Londonderry.

No one was killed or injured, but neither has any group claimed responsibility.

But, having grown up in England during the Troubles?

I’d hate to see those Troubles restarted.

Especially if those who’ve done this, have done this in response to the Brexit negotiations, with all the talk of a Backstop*.

Here’s hoping.
