Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30th October, 2018.

30t October, 2018.


Right … 

I’m back to work, today.

Which is why — in the intro video, there — I mentioned the trains.

I always tend to notice them when it’s quiet … or I have to go to work … 

Oh, and late at night.

It’s amazing how soothing that can be.

Remember, back in 1986, that estate agent Suzy Lamplugh*, went missing: after going to show a potential client a property?

The case was never solved: and Mr Kipper — the supposed client, and presumed killer — remains unfound.

Ever though — back in 2002 — the police named their prime suspect.

Sixteen years later?

Today, in fact.

The Met are searching the back garden of a house formerly owned by the prime suspect’s mother.

Apparently?

They’re acting on information received.

Murder … ?

Is not especially nice.

But I’ll be frank: is that IS Ms Lamplugh’s body, if that IS her?

I’d love to see the case closed, know what happened … 

I can only imagine how Suzy Lamplugh’s family feel about it!

When It Snows … 



10th December, 2017.

OK, we knew it was — possibly — coming.

Yep … 

Brentwood’s got snow!

I should know: I’ve just been out in it.

Frankly?

I’m not surprised things got cancelled …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30th October, 2017

You know, I’m possibly going to have an issue: I’ve got a loose tooth.

Which means I’m going to have to find an NHS dentist to extract it.

Always a problem in the UK.

Getting hospital treatment, or a GP consultation is free.

But, like getting an optician’s treatment?

Dentists cost, on the NHS.

Hopefully?

Hopefully, I’ll be able to find one that’s prepared to treat me: an come up with easy payments!

Hmmm … 

I’m a fan of both House of Cards and Star Trek Discovery.

And note that, in amongst the sexual harassment claims thrown up in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein affair?

Note that Kevin Spacey has been accused of assault, by Star Trek Discovery actor, Anthony Rapp: who plays Paul Stamets.

I’m … 

Not surprised: but thinking a few more of my favourite series will see similar stories*.

True Grit.


Hmm …

I’m thinking the word, here … ?

Is grit.

Yes, I know you were thinking “What did he say … ?”

Grit.

So you know.

At ANY rate, we’ve had the first batch of snow overnight,

Not much, thankfully.

But enough for me to want to make use of the grit I’d manage to pick up from local Lib-Dem County Councillor, David Kendall.

OK, granted that could be washed out if we get rain, rather than the predicted sleet or snow, tonight.

But if nothing else … ?

Well, if nothing else, here’s hoping it helps.
