Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30-10-2019: Sir Christopher Wren.

30th October, 2019.


I’m sorry, I’m going to get a touch political, if you don’t mind.

We now have an election date: 12th December, this year.

I may — if I’m feeling up for it — do a relevant Teaser about it.

That … ?

That’s going to be interesting, I think.

Especially given the weather … 

At any rate?   I’m planning — assuming they’re standing — on voting Green … 

Or spoiling my vote, if not.

Oh, just as a quick extra point …  ?

I mentioned the debate around the idea of voter ID, recently: and mentioned this petition*.

It hasn’t reached the required number of signatures to get debated in Parliament.   Including twenty-two in my home town.


It has had a response, though.

Mostly in favour of introducing ID.

The deadline for it?   Is in April, next year.

Here’s hoping it gets the signatures.

Oh, and just as a final point?

Apparently, content creators — TV and movie producers, in other words — are complaining.

Because Netflix has introduce a new feature.

Yes: Netflix have introduced a fast forward button.

Something QuickTime, VLC, and god knows how many other media players, along side DVD players, Blu-ray players and VHS machines, have had for years.

Ye gods!
“Night City was like a deranged experiment in social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button.”
