Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-1-2025 — Who the Hell is Edgar?

19th January, 2025: Who the Hell is Edgar?

Yes, you’re right!

I am quoting a Eurovision song in the introductory video.

The one today’s teaser takes its title from.

It seem vaguely relevant: although I suspect it would’ve got ma a copyright strike on YouTube!

Oh … whilst we’re on the subject of Edgar … ?

I put an image of him through Apple’s Image Playground app.

Which makes him look vaguely like Kurt Vonnegut.

So it goes …

There’s supposed to be a ceasefire in Israel.

Supposed to be a ceasefire …

But, functionally … ?   With Israel blaming Hamas, and bombing Gaza, despite its Cabinet approval of the thing?

Is it any wonder I laugh, when I hear the word, ‘ceasefire’?

Sir Terry Pratchett — 28 April 1948 to 12 March 2015: Oh … Fuck …

Yes … 

I know … 

I don’t USUALLY swear in title of a post, here on Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar.

No, really … 

But I’ve just LITERALLY got home from my mothers.

I’ve been mowing her lawn, today, so you know.

There’s ALSO very few days when a piece of news makes me feel physically sick.

Today’s the day both happened.

Today is the day Sir Terry Pratchett — Alzheimer’s sufferer, Assisted Death campaigner, writer, ex-journalist, former publicity man for three nuclear generators, and, frankly, my literary hero — died.

And believe me, writing the word ‘died’ is possibly the most hideous word I can imagine writing.   And the most difficult.

Today, Terry Pratchett died.

And, right now … ?

I, along with many others, feel as if I’ve lost a friend.
