Slim, not much new of interest to you on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week other than next Sunday in the early evening, a 1940 British film called "Law and Disorder". A comedy crime thriller set on the evening of WW2 about a young lawyer infiltrating a gang of foreign saboteurs. He was played by Barry Barnes and his wife in the film was played by his actual wife Diana Churchill (a distant relation of Winston and not to be confused with the film actress Sarah Churchill who was his daughter), The senior solicitor was played by Alastair Sim.
The 1958 British comedy film of the same name (Michael Redgrave and Robert Morley) which gets shown on television from time to time was not a remake.

The other week I was walking down the Regents Arcade in Cheltenham. I noticed a man walking past me going the other way. The ground is paved with a mic of square paving stones and smaller rectangular ones. He was looking down at them, stopped and then went on. I think he may have been trying to avoid walking on any of the edges between the stones. May have been someone with OCD.

That takes me back to my childhood El
Gates have been reintroduced to Eastgate Street in Gloucester and kept shut on Friday and Saturday nights to stop traffic going down.

I think they are positioned where the old historic gates used to be (which were taken down in 1778) There used to be gates in Northgate Street, Southgate Street and Westgate Street as well, hence the names.
Mention in the BBC news about a handwritten Shakespearean sonnet being found in Oxford:
https://www.gloucestershireliv...91209?int_source=nba
This in not by Shakespeare but a changed version of his sonnet 116.
The version isn't a true sonnet as it is 3 verses of 6 lines each. A Shakespeare sonnet has 14 lines, (1st & 3rd rhyme, 2nd and 4th rhyme, and so on until the 13th and 14th lines which rhyme).
A Youtube clip of Judi Dench reciting the true sonnet 116:

El, quick forum query .I have email notifications on when I’m not on the forum , but turn it off when I’m on here . Last night , as always , I turned it back on again just before I signed off . This morning I had 189 emails ….all the postings I made yesterday afternoon etc ….in my inbox ! 
Any idea if it was a forum glitch ?

Baz, I'm not aware of anything
@Lori do you know?

Whew!!
There may have been something going on with the server that Gaga is on--I had the opposite situation on the same day: someone posted a few minutes before midnight (our time), and there was NO email sent out.🤷🏻♀️
If it continues to be an issue, let me know and I'll do some trouble-shooting, but maybe it's a one-off?
