Good morning everyone 
Cloudy here at present, some showers forecast for later, could get a thundery downpour this afternoon.
I hope everyone has a good day

Very clever!
Carl Davis, the composer has died, he was 86.
Best known for his score for the Jennifer Ehle / Colin Firth "Pride and Prejudice" and for his music work on the Thames Silents series of silent films, those restorations by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill shown on television in the 1980s.

Tomorrow's storm has been named Antoni. There had been only two named storms during the 2022/23 storm year which were named Otto and Noa by the Met Office equivalents in Denmark and France. So Antoni is the first UK named storm for 2022/23 (which for storm naming purposes runs from September to August).

Antoni? that sounds Italian....why haven't they called it Harold or Gladys or something more English

The Met Office decide the names together with their Irish and Dutch equivalents. They announce a list of names each year by 1 September. There's a name for each letter of the alphabet other than Q, U, X, Y and Z. People can send in suggestions for names. A new list of names is used each year starting with A even though not all the names from the previous year would have been used.
Gladys was on the 2021/22 list but those used only got up to F.
If there were to be another storm named before the end of this month it would be called Betty

@El Loro posted:Slim, little new of interest on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week. On Thursday at 15.00 there's a film noir "Johnny O'Clock" (1947) which stars Dick Powell and also Lee J Cobb.
Thanks El
Having watched the trailer, I think I may have seen this film
Quite an interesting Youtube clip about old letters which are no longer used in the English alphabet though at the beginning there's a promotion for some website which I'm ignoring:
