Microsoft seems determined to transfer its current reasonably OK 'Calendar' function to Outlook. They keep shifting me to there, but, no matter what I do, I cannot get it to show my existing data, which seems to exist in some sort of Google environment. For the time being, I am still able to...

Staffordshire Police say - An investigation has been launched after three cows were stolen from a farm in Stafford. It happened between 5.30pm on Monday (6 November) and 7am on Tuesday (7 November) at Amerton Farm in Stowe-by-Chartley. The victim discovered it after finding animal blood which...

Does anybody have direct experience of getting somebody to vote as their proxy? Does the person have to vote at your assigned polling station, for example? Just the practicalities of it, it seems more reliable than trusting the postal system, to me.

I've mentioned elsewhere that I've been drying firewood in the greenhouses. The process seems to be largely complete now on this year's delivery, in fact the weights have gone up slightly over the last two fairly damp days. Overall, though, I have been very surprised by just how effective it has...

These events take place in locations other than Stafford, as we have seen recently. There was one in Ireland today and the Forum's own @peggy has completed the whole thing. The swimming section took place in the sea, which, as a result of the recent weather event, was not in a pleasant state...

I've missed the transformation of this into a venue for live events. https://www.stafford-octagon.com/ I only became aware just now, as there seems to be a meatloaf tribute on in October. https://www.ticketnation.uk/events/the-legend-of-meatloaf---hits-out-of-hell-06-10-23.html

Sadly, I have become aware that Bob has died. He will be much missed here, I'm sure.

My trusty old Stafford bike is not so trusty now, in that the front changer is nearing the end of its life. I doubt that I am going to be able to read any identification details from it. It's a three-ring changer, controlled from a handlebar lever. How standardised are these systems? Are things...

Whilst I was away, I got two letters about some sort of 'consultation' about the perpetual flooding situation on Sandon Road. Did anybody attend the meetings? Is there anything worth reporting? After today's bit of rain, it was barely passable around 7:30 this evening, and it looked as...

Apollo Theatre Co. are the people who produced the 'Round the Horne' show, which was far better than I expected it to be. This could well be worth a look, for those interested.

"This scam was recently brought to our attention. An unsuspecting victim received a USB drive in the post, and contained paperwork implying it had come from Microsoft. The packaging and logo all looks legit. However, it was anything but - when they inserted the USB drive, they were the latest...

Maybe it's time that they had a thread of their own, to avoid getting submerged in the crazy history of their new premises. https://arroy-thai.com/

It came to my notice this morning that @industryarch is no longer with us. He joined the Forum in 2010, largely as a result of his abiding interest in local history and was a reliable source of information on many subjects, particularly things that might go unrecorded by more cursory...

Having become marginally obsessed with recording the remaining public water pumps around my current exile location, I wonder how many still survive in the Stafford area? I am aware of two, so far. This one in Walton on the Hill, courtesy of @staffordjas...

As a potential venue, this may be useful to somebody.
