    Market Square paving.

    On Monday heard someone reply to a child's question of what they are doing - Well instead of being busy fixing the roads they are busy fixing something that didn't need fixing in the first place. Other than questioning the use of the word 'busy' I couldn't have agreed more.

    What book are we reading at the moment?

    The Adventures & Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Enjoying these but taking me an age to get through them all.

    Stafford Half Marathon.

    E-mail today but still not open for 10k entries - just says watch social media. There was somewhat of a survey attached so made comment about the lack of medium & large T's

    Stafford Half Marathon.

    Went in Millets today and a bunch of leaflets on the counter for the Stafford 10K 2023 - apparently 24th September. Followed the web address mentioned which re-directs to Freedom-Leisure. Their page essentially says "watch this space" with no mention of the date. Suspect numbers could be low as...

    Stafford Half Marathon.

    Scrolling list of finishers I think there were only about 1800, didn't there used to be closer to 3000? In which case it's a worrying trend for its future. Also no same day emails for the 10k that usually arrive.

    Stafford Half Marathon.

    Well done! 2h03m40s for me. Not enough training and went off too fast. Sub 1h50 last time so a bit disappointed with myself.

    Stafford Half Marathon.

    Agree c0ttont0p, was queueing for medium when queue suddenly vanished and was told small, extra large or extra extra large. I know the medal ribbon shows a chippy as a sponsor but I'm not going to eat that many and it hardly promotes a healthy lifestyle. Felt sorry for all those still running...

    Stafford Half Marathon.

    Agree about the 10k route last year, park session wasn't the best.

    Stafford Half Marathon.

    Long time away from the Forum but running the Half again this year (subject to the weather not cancelling it). End of the new route looks a bit of a mess with a switchback likely to cause problems? Anyone else running it / thoughts on the course changes?

    Destruction of Doxey Marshes.

    Had a look at the plans for North Stafford last night which includes Sports Pitches, perhaps a better home for the Rugby Club?

    The County Hospital

    As you may have read/seen more Services were removed from Stafford over the weekend so what we have now is less A&E and more than a walk in centre (but hey it'll double in size). The Shugborough Ward was expected to close in March but now looks to have been put back until May - We must continue...

    More Petitions

    There are currently a number of Petitions Running on the Stafford Borough Council. Three related to the Hospital Downgrade (we're still losing 24/7 PAU, Shugborough Ward, Consultant Led Maternity, Acute Services and NOT getting back 24hr A&E) despite all the recent fanfare in the Press. Also one...

    Note 4 or Nexus 6

    I was expecting Blade Runner to be reference this thread, in which case the Note 4 would be the safer option.

    The County Hospital

    Will probably go the other way and Herefordshire will get off lightly. Anything hospital related which contains Staffs/Stafford/Staffordshire is apparently tarnished - Hence change of name from UHNS to Royal Stoke University Hospital and Trust from North Staffs to University Hospitals of North...
