Good morning everyone

Weather here couldn't be more different than yesterday, some sunshine, no rain forecast and a high of 17°

I hope everyone has a good day

Good afternoon Buddies

Sunny and warm for the most, though clouds do keep rushing by on a light breeze

Enjoy your day everyone

Moonie, I see that your side had a good afternoon and are in the play-offs

Hi El, thank you. First leg next Sunday against Southampton at home

Sadly, I don’t think we have a good enough team to get promoted right now.

Good morning everyone

Sunny start here but showers, potentially thundery, forecast for later.

Forum seems very slow again at present.

I hope everyone has a good day

Slim, a couple of films I spotted on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week.

On Wednesday morning at 11.05 is "The Devil's Disciple" (1959). It was based on a play by George Bernard Shaw relating to the American War of Independence. Leads are Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster and Laurence Olivier, Film should have been better than it is, has been described as stodgy.

On Friday morning at 10.30 is "Storm in a Teacup" (1937). A romantic comedy set in Scotland and stars Vivien Leigh and Rex Harrison. That looks a lot more promising than the first film.

Forum speed seems better now

With three big ego's in the first film, I'm not surprised it's described as stodgy, looking at the plot I'd describe it as depressing...so I'll give that one a miss

I quite like the sound of the second film though...a village of dogs barking in protest sounds like fun

Thank you El

Thanks Slim

I've got an old film book which reviews all British sound films up to the end of the 1950s. "Storm in a Teacup" is rated 5 out of 6 which is a good sign
