Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 8-5-2025 — VE Day

8th May, 2025: VE Day.

Yes: it’s officially Thursday.

And, frankly?

I’m expecting to be bored witless!

Bar picking up some medications, that is!

Heigh … … ho … !

~≈Ω≈~

Did I mention I’ve woken up with an earworm … ?

I’ve woken up with an earworm: Moloko’s “Forever More”.

Why … ?

I don’t know.

But both song, and video, are hypnotic.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th May 2025.

7th May, 2025.

Yay!

It’s officially Wednesday.

And … ?

I have to confess, I’ve been watching the second series of Star Wars spin off series, Andor.

And?

The opening six episodes have been rather good: and include three written by Beau Willimon, show runner of the US version of House of Cards.

I know science fiction isn’t for everyone … but a wartime drama?

With murky political undertones, paranoia you can cut with a knife, and lots of explosions?

Might just be up your street …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6-5-2025 — iMac.

6th May, 2025: iMac.

Hmm … 

I was at my sister’s, last night: baby — ha! — sitting my nephew, Jude.

We’d natter whilst he watched YouTube on his PS5, and I watched the snooker final in the front room.

I think we had an entertaining evening.

Although I have to say: I dropped a chip.

And … ?

Ruth’s cat’s like bloody lightning!

~≈🍟≈~

We — and the cat! — had a good evening.

So did Chinese snooker.

As Zhao Xintong beat Mark Williams 18-12: and became China’s first snooker world champion in the process.

Well done, him: it’s one hell of a personal achievement, one I suspect will have a similar effect to Andy Murray winning Wimbledon.

And persuade lots of people in China join snooker clubs.

At any rate: congratulations to Xintong.

Now … will he be able to beat the Crucible Curse … ?

I seriously doubt it!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5th May, 2025.

5th May, 2025.

Yay!

It’s Monday morning: a bank holiday Monday morning!

So … ?

There’s no weight management meeting, today.

Which won’t stop me feeling knackered, mind: but I can always have a nap, later!

~≈🛌≈~

You know … the current US president strikes me as a bit of a twit.

And the tariffs he’s imposing?

Are just as silly.

This morning … ?

We’re told he wants to introduce a one hundred percent tariff on movies made outside the US: apparently, movies made outside the US are a threat to the country’s national security.

I’m very aware that — given the amount of movies made in the UK — that this will have a negative impact on UK film studios and producers.

But?

I’m hoping that backfires: as so many US movies — not least the Star Wars and Marvel movies — get filmed in Pinewood.

The president’s not doing his country a favour …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 4th May 2025

4th May, 2025.

Dear lord … but I was up late!

The perils of review making don’t get any easier, the older you get.

Whatever!

If nothing else, though … ?

I can say I’ve posted written and video reviews of “Lucky Day”.

And seen quite a good episode!

~≈📺≈~

It’s possibly something I’ll have on in the background … but it seems Mark Williams has got through to Snooker’s World Championship finals.

That starts at noon: and should be interesting.

It sees the Welsh veteran go up against newcomer,  Zhao Xintong.

I can’t help but think Zhao will do very well.

Either way … ?

It seems both players are left-handed.

Speaking as an armchair snooker fan, an armchair snooker fan who’s also a southpaw?

I’m happy to see that!
