Cheltenham's next 3 league one matches are against 3 of the 4 teams below them. So that's where they will be hoping for much better results.
Best of luck in all those games El

By thw way, if you use the Met Office website and the UK weather map, that map has changed overnight and looks very different. Top left corner has a drop down menu to choose between rainfall, temperature etc. At bottom, I think it's easier to select day then time rather than just time. Time is in quarter hours for the following 72 hours, then three hourly for the rest (that's for rainfall, different for temperature).

Saw on the news that there's going to be dancing to some of the more noted signature tunes from over the years. I didn't hear the whole news item but am guessing it's on Strictly (which I've never watched)
Am tempted to watch King Charles (formerly known as Prince) on the Repair shop

I didn't see that news item but it must be Strictly they were referring to.

Bankruptcy would be good 
An extract from an obscure 1916 short film which was called "Peaches & Ponies". Imdb has this summary of the storyline.
For a recent bridegroom Ray (Arthur Alberton) gives altogether too much money to the race track, to the neglect of Bess (Ivy Close). To make matters worse, Bess has to discover his notebook with mysterious references to Fanny S., Grass Widow. Some Chicken, and other supposed charmers, who are in reality race track favorites. Bess engages the services of Gluefoot Gasper (Henry Murdock), who as a Sherlock is a scream. But Gasper gets on the job and trails Ray to a fashionable cabaret, where he dines with Dolly. Gluefoot hustles Bess around to see the evidence and there is a whirl of excitement that brings trouble and laughs in quick succession until explanations bring out that Dolly (Frances Ne Moyer) is an out-of-town buyer whom Ray had been delegated to entertain, and also the harmlessness of the notebook entries.
Ivy Close came from Stockton-on-Tee. Her film career came to an end with the introduction of sound films. She married twice. During her first marriage she had two sons, one of them being Ronald Neame who would go on to have a major film career partcularly in directing such as "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" and "The Poseidon Adventure"

Gluefoot is hardly inconspicuous as a sherlock is he 
He reminded me a little of Groucho Marx in his movements
'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie', an excellent film, with the wonderful Maggie Smith....a real British acting treasure in my book
'The Poseidon Adventure' ...not such an excellent film, but had a huge cast of stars.

As you say, Gluefoot was hardly inconspicuous
I agree with you about "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" and Maggie Smith
I think I've seen "The Poseidon Adventure" but it didn't impress me

It's a great painting, albeit a little busy for my walls ...I wouldn't say no though at that value 
I do find it absurd that there are those who can afford to spend monies like that on a piece of art and yet we have starving families 
....I think I've said this before.
