Good morning everyone

Sunshine and some clouds here at present though forecast is for a cloudy day, Some showers forecast later. Chillier than recent days.

I hope everyone has a good day

The BBC weather page on their site was just showing the first half of the postcode as the location. Tuned out that I had to log in again to get that back. Could be that the BBC cookie had expired in which case that just applies to me, or it's something that the BBC site has done in the last day in which case that applies to all users. That would apply to anyone who uses iPlayer.

Good morning Buddies

A bright sunny but cold start to the day here. Rain expected soon though

Enjoy your day everyone

I've mentioned before that the BBFC have been rerating older films typically with higher ratings.

I've noticed that today they have rerated one of the most popular films ever from a U to a PG for "discriminatory language".
I'm posting a link to their page to show that this is genuine:

Good morning everyone

Frosty here at present though starting to get warmer. Met Office forecast rain in an hour's time, BBC doesn't.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning Buddies

Wide spread ground frost here but the sun has been out most of the morning so at least it’s warming up a little

Enjoy your weekend everyone

There was a tiny amount of rain this morning

The A417 at Maisemore is closed due to flooding again. Nothing unusual about that and would have been due to the rain earlier this week coming down the Severn. There's talk of that road being raised to reduce the flooding risk but that's sometime in the future.

I guess it's a long way to Australia

Good morning everyone

Dry here at present. There's a band of rain to the south of here today which might get here. Met Office doesn't have any rain symbols whereas the BBC does.

I hope everyone has a good day

Slim, I haven't spotted anything new of interest on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week. Tomorrow afternoon they've got a 1955 film called "Count Three and Pray" which was Joanne Woodward's debut film. However, it's a western

BBC Four are showing that Claire Bloom/Sean Connery 1961 adaptation of "Anna Karenina" on Wednesday at 10.15 pm preceded by Claire Bloom talking about it (10pm). It will be on iPlayer afterwards.

Thanks for looking El

I'll maybe watch 'Anna Karenina', but that'll probably be on iPlayer sometime later in the week

Good afternoon Buddies

A cool foggy start to the day here. Some sunshine but clouding over now. No rain forecast

Enjoy your Sunday everyone

Good morning everyone

Cloudy day here with some sunshine at times. No frost this morning but s fresh breeze from the north making it feel cold outside. A cold night forecast getting down to just below zero.

BBC forecast for tomorrow has a light rain symbol for the day. The hourly forecast though shows one hour with that symbol with a 28% chance of rain.

I hope everyone has a good day

Slim, the forum seems a normal speed at present

I remember Lori saying something ages ago about seeing if coming out of the forum, waiting a few moments, then trying again helps.
I think the Crowdstack/Social Strata server systems consist of more than one server. So if one server is very slow, another server may be normal, it's just chance as to which server gets accessed. That's what Lori said.

That post took 9 seconds to get though so slightly longer than normal.

Good afternoon Buddies

Cold and blustery here

Have a nice day everyone
