Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13-4-2022: Jefferson.

13th April, 2022.


It’s official: both the Prime Minister — Boris Johnson — and the Chancellor of the Exchequer — Rishi Sunak — have been fined: for attending parties during the COVID 19 lockdown.

They’ve paid the fines, and apologised to anyone who’ll believe them: but rejected calls for their resignations.

Somehow?   I’m not surprised.

Personally?   You and me breaking the rules — and paying a fine — is one thing.

But for people holding the highest offices in the country* … ?

I don’t know if they should.

But don’t think their apologies are good enough.

Did I mention my nephew, Jude, was here, yesterday?

My nephew, Jude, was here, yesterday.

And you can find out what he looks like in his most recent videos … 



That’s him on the left, at the start of the first video …

The Daily Teaser — 24-5-2015: Judgement Day … !

Oh, now that’s sad … 

You probably now I’ll have BBC Radio Four on, at this time of the morning.

I have BBC Radio Four on at this time of the morning: just in case you didn’t realise.

They’ve just had the news on.   And, buried between Ireland’s ‘Yes’ result — congratulations, there, Ireland! — and news of Sweden winning Eurovision — congratulations, Sweden! — was news of murder, in Didcot.

A man, a woman and a child.

Apparently, the police are treating it as suspicious: although no arrests have been made.

It’s sad: whenever the death of a child’s involved.   But I’m willing to hazard a guess at what’s happened.   I’m guessing somewhere along the line, one of the family — the father, I’m assuming, but could be wrong — has been put out of a job: something like that.   Or, the other reason I’m guessing at?   Is that the child or mother is seriously ill.

Whatever the motivation?

Whatever the motivation, it like someone’s decided the whole family’s death is preferable to living.

That’s sad … 

No … that’s tragic …

The Daily Teaser — 4-8-2014: Champagne … !

Here we go … 

Another day … another dollar.

Or metaphorical dollar, at any rate.

Of course, I should maybe phrase that as ‘Another day, another interview’, as I’ve got an interview, today.

I’m hoping to do well at it.

Hoping.

But to be frank … ?

My confidence is at a bit of a low: and in all honesty … ?   I’m not actually expecting much of it.

Here’s hoping I can muster up some positive thoughts, before I get there.
