By the way that "documentary" omitted any reference to the Roman historian Jesephus. In his writings, there are a couple of references to Jesus. One of them is a direct reference to him being crucified but some have questioned the authenticity. However the other one, although an indirect reference, is regarded as historically accurate.
That can be seen in section 1 of chapter 9 of "The Antiquities of the Jewa Book 20":
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki...ws/Book_XX#Chapter_9
That refers to James, the brother of Jesus.

Paul in Galatians chapter 1 verse 19 mentions that he met that James:

gorgeous photo-swans are so majestic

night everyone and summer if you pop in miss you yogi

Good morning everyone

Cloudy here at present. Forecast to brighten up but may get some showers.

Ros, unless I'm dreaming you've changed

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone, some cloud this morning but I think the forecast is for it to stay dry.

Enjoy your day everyone

Sad to hear that Peter Benson has died at 75 after a short illness. Those who watched Heartbeat will remember him as Bernie Scripps.

The annual cheese rolling competition isn't the only local unusual competition. There's the onion eating one held at Newent.

I bet they didn’t kiss their partners for ages afterwards 

Moonie, it could be that the partners were competing as well

night everybody summer if you pop in

Good morning everyone

Fair weather here though breezy.

Don't know if it's just me but I haven't received any email norification of liked replies for the last day though am getting the red splodge alerts at the top.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone, not a bad morning lots of white cloud with a little blue sky.  I have my email notifications turned off EL.

Enjoy your day everyone

Thanks for letting me know Squiggle Maybe one of the others have them on. I did ask Lori yesterday about this but no reply yet. Of course if she's not getting emails come through like me she may not be aware.

Hope all are well   

Was looking for another abbreviation on Hunky Dory.

So I'll say Davy Jones. My nana had him on 8 track. How'll I'll never know.

Hope Yogi's enjoying enjoying herself 

Velvet, I'm well but very busy. Hope you are OK

Congratulations to Gloucester born Alastair Cook on getting a hundred on his final Test innings before retiring from international cricket. During that hundred he also became the 5th highest total runs scorer in Test cricket history with 12,472 runs.

night everybody summer if you pop in

Good morning everyone

Cloudy here today and likely to get some rain.

My notification email problem has been resolved ovenight by the Social Strata help people. What had happened was that the Hoop.la alerts email address had been blacklisted by one of the numerous mail servers. So any email provider (such as Virgin Media) who used that server wouldn't let the emails get through.  So it wouldn't have been just me not getting emails.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone, rainy here, quite a miserable morning.  I hope it's better where you are.

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, it's a bit damp here but probably better than where you are by the sound of it

Posted on the BBC site last week a collection of photographs of African animals which were taken at either dusk or dawn so typically silhouetted:

Worth looking at though one of them would not please Baz.

Morning troops    

Quite bright here. Back lawn that I stare out all day seems to have developed some "fairy rings" in three places. It's like the grain goes against the rest and it's new. There is also some fungi shot up. Can wait though - not high.

Anyway, I hope it breaks out down South.

Have a good day ye all   

Velvet, one of the teachers at my school many many years ago was a mycologist as well - that's someone who is expert on toadstools and mushrooms in a scientific way. He would have known why fairy rings come into being.

Good afternoon sunny but windy here, much better than yesterday’s rain. 

Aw that swan pic from the 8th, would make beautiful jigsaw puzzle! 

I hope you’re all having a good start the week x 

Summer, may be someone will do a jigsaw from that photo.

I hope all is going well for you As you can guess I'm busy with the huge job. At present I'm going through the purchase invoices for the year. If they were piled on top of each other, it would be over 2 foot tall.

interesting EL but would be vaguely annoying 

night everybody yogi missing you-hug for summer if you pop in

thank you Ros, belated sweet dreams to you all 

sorry I haven’t been online much, I seem to be keeping myself so busy these days that I Churchill before I even pick my phone up to forum! That and there’s always one friend or another on the phone  

I’m up early today because I have to drive up to the lovely tynemouth to visit a dear friend who moved up there. I’ll take Bramble so we can walk her, catch up and then have lunch then, I have to take my mum clothes shopping, she’s going to need some much warmer clothes! 

El, 2 foot is huge! No wonder you’re it’s time consuming! Keep refreshing yourself, you’ll need fuel to concentrate  

Have a lovely day all  

Good morning all 

I’ve read back and I’m glad you are all well

I love the dawn and dusk pics, El.

Summer, enjoy the visit with your friend 

We had a lovely time in London.

Got to pop over and visit my parents and have a few errands to run.

Have a good day, everyone.

Good morning everyone

Has been raining here and still cloudy.

Ros, I really liked those photos; you can guess which one I was referring to that Baz wouldn't like it

Summer, I hope you have a good time with your friend and your mum

There are still problems with not getting email notifications of post likes etc. Social Strata's mail server for such alerts has been blacklisted by some mail servers. As it looks as if Virgin Media uses one or those servers I get no emails coming through for alerts. Social Strata are working to try to get their mail server removed from those blacklists but it's taking time. I believe that sites such as Amazon had a similar issue some time ago. At least the red online alerts are still working.

I hope Yogi is having a good time and hope everyone has a good day

Welcome back Yogi and I'm glad you've had a good time in London

I’ll go sign into the email account I use for here and see if mine are coming through. BRB 

My notifications are coming through, El.

I’m with Virgin for WiFi 

Yogi, I'm glad that at least for you your email notifications are coming through. It's posible that Virgin Media's mail server distributors vary across the country. I don't know that a wired connection or a wifi connection would dictate which mail server distributor was used.
