Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18-1-2026 — DeSalvo

18th January, 2026: DeSalvo.

I think I’m on safe territory, here.

In saying that the 47th President of the United States of America is a screaming twat.

If you’ll pardon my language!

I’ll also say that the UK’s Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, may not be helping.

The President’s demands — that the US take over Greenland — are still on-going: with the US, under the President’s orders, due to impose tariffs from February.

Something affected countries have criticised as unacceptable.

Understandably.

Additionally?

The Prime Minister tells us the allies will be “pursuing this directly, with the administration”.

Which is possibly where things fall apart.

I believe whatever Britain’s representatives say to the current US administration is going to get ignored …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th July, 2021.

26th July, 2021.

Yes: it’s officially nice, bright, sunny, and positively tropical, out.

He says, turning up the irony knobs to eleven.

It’s actually looking distinctly overcast: with the possibility of a lot of rain.

Saying that?   I don’t think my part of Brentwood’s had more than five minutes of drizzle all of yesterday.

Which is odd.

Especially when you consider parts of London — which isn’t that far away — were flooded, yesterday …

You’re possibly aware I’m a Dr Who fan: and have been for years.

One who’s currently ripping the blu-ray box set of the shoe’s twenty-fourth season: Time and the Rani to Dragonfire, so you know.

The set has two discs for each of the four stories.

I’m just finishing Time and the Rani: and it seems typical of the set.

The first disc has scaled up versions of the broadcast versions of the stories, plus a lot — a lot — of extras.

The second disc — or, at least, the second disc of the Time and the Rani discs — has extended versions of the story.

Plus both raw studio and location footage.

Seven hours worth of raw studio and location footage!

I know some will be happy to see it.

Personally?   I think that much footage is possibly pushing it!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 31-3-2020: Ruby Tuesday

31st March, 2020.

Yep: it’s day whatever of the UK wide lockdown.

And frankly?

I’m losing track of days!

Well … lost count of how many days we’ve been locked down.

It’s still frustrating … 

But also odd: I live by the rail line, and — with the trains on a permanent Sunday service? — it’s unnervingly quiet.

~≈¥≈~

I’ve got to admit, I’m in a local WhatsApp group: for those needing or offering help during the lock down.

And got a message, this morning.

Warning that the video calling app, Houseparty, had been hacked.

It’s causing a media panic.

It’s also got the manufacturers, Epic Games, offering a $1, 000, 000 bounty, to anyone can can prove it does.

Something I know I managed to flag up.

It’s … 

Well, I think the Corona Virus is going get a lot of that sort of thing.

It’s ALREADY generating email scams.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12-7-2016: The Rolling Stones …

Ye gods … !

My guts were playing up, yesterday!

You’ll possibly worked out I’m suffering with IBS, at the mo.

Most of the time?

Most of the time, I’m fine: having figured out a lot of stuff that I can and can’t eat.

Yesterday?

Lord knows what happened, yesterday: I’ve a funny suspicion that I forgot to take the relevant medication on Sunday.

Which meant I had a MAJOR flare up, yesterday: that lasted all day.

Involving throwing up, an ambulance, an emergency trip to the doctors and a batch of extra medication.

Not exactly what I had planned for a day off!
