Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22-8-2024 — Motor Maniac

22nd August, 2024: Motor Maniac.

Right then … it’s official.

It’s Thursday!

And … ?

I managed to avoid boredom, last night.

By watching 2001: A Space Odyssey for the second time in about five years.

It still looks good: even on TV.

I am very aware it’s been very influential.

Especially the Stargate sequence: it’s inspired countless wormhole effects!

But I’m also aware that, however good it looks on TV — and it looks very good on TV — it’s worth your time watching it on the big screen: as I did, when I first saw it*†.

That … ?

Is the way to catch it!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29-1-2023 — I Like Driving In My Car.

29th January, 2023: I Like Driving in my Car.

Right … it’s Sunday morning: and I’ve got the radio on.

Sunday Worship, today?

Is coming from a synagogue in West London: as it’s Holocaust Remembrance Week.

It’s a pleasant listen: a lot less in-yer-face than some of the Happy Clappy Evangelical services Radio 4 broadcasts.

But also sad: it’s marking not only the Holocaust of World War Two: but things like the genocide in Rwanda and the Armenian Genocide.

And reminds us that the Uyghurs of China are facing similar things.

You’d think people would learn, wouldn’t you … ?

Oh, before I forget … ?

I’ve caught another episode of classic Dr Who, on Friday.

The Knight of Jaffa: episode 2 of The Crusade, so you know.

Here’s my written review.

And here’s the video:

The Daily Teaser — 13-5-2016: In Cars

Right … I’m back to work, today: on a long shift.

Frankly … ?

I am hoping to be able to take in my usual array of medications: specifically the one that helps my guts.

Although I’m starting to wonder how much help that actually IS … !

Some, at least: I’m ALSO thinking laying off the cola, and drinking more water, could be useful.

But, if I can make a confession?

It’s starting to get to me.

I like to think of myself as relatively tough.

But on-going stomach troubles?

These on-going stomach troubles are decidedly wearing!

The Brentwood Gazette’s Weekly Teaser — 13-5-2015: In Cars

I’ve GOT to say it … 

I’ve started late … !

On this post, before you ask.

It’s one possible pleasure of working shifts: it’s means stuff you’d LIKE to get an earlier start on … you end up doing later.

Cie la Vie … !

BBC News - Alex Attwood wants tougher drink-driving laws

BBC News - Alex Attwood wants tougher drink-driving laws

Hmmm …

Now THERE’s a thing …

I don]t know if you’ve actually saw that article, when it floated across the BBC’s news website, earlier, but I did.

Seemingly … ?

Seemingly, Alex Attwood, the environment minister for Northern Ireland, wants to introduce legislation to lower the amount of alcohol that drivers can legally have in their bloodstreams.

Smooth move, I’m thinking.

I don’t know about where you are, but the UK as a whole has a noticeably higher limit than most of Europe.

While I don’t drive — or even drink, these days — I can’t help but thinks that’s a good thing.

Ex-barman that I am, there’s plenty of times I’ve seen customers head off — in their cars — having had an amount that I believe would be over the limit: but never in a position to say anything.

Here’s hoping something similar goes through in the rest of the UK.
