    Examples of poor driving you have witnessed!

    Being calm and being aggressive are not mutually exclusive. Giving someone the bird, no matter how calmly, is plainly aggressive. You seem to think that because someone is travelling more slowly than you are that you have a right to act aggressively, drive extremely poorly and break the law. You...

    Examples of poor driving you have witnessed!

    However, aggressive driving like this achieves nothing positive whatsoever and is only likely to increase incidences of road rage and accidents. So, unfortunately it instantly marks you as a worse driver that the one you are critical of.

    NEW BOOK RELEASE: The Age of the Emperor's New Clothes by S R Fox

    I've been and had a look at its listing on Amazon and Waterstones.....20 quid...it had better be good! And according to the one review yesterday of a book that hasn't been published yet (according to the author's son) by someone who has just the one review to their credit (now who's undermining...

    NEW BOOK RELEASE: The Age of the Emperor's New Clothes by S R Fox

    I don't think anyone has either judged the book or been negative. I've read the comments and they relate purely to the term 'politcal correctness', not the book nor it's contents. As you say, it hasn't been read.

    Indian food in Stafford

    I'll second that, and they never understate delivery times, if they say 40 minutes it'll be 40 minutes or less. I don't mind waiting, I hate not knowing.

    The Greyhound, Yarlet

    Or in the evening when Mrs Trenchfoot and I partook of an evening meal. Considering it was a Friday night it was a bit quiet though, so if we don't want another pub closing it might be worth a visit. £11.95 for 2 courses or a bit more for 3 (can't remember if it was 14.95 or 15.95) was decent value.

    More rain and floods, why?

    I always find it strange that faced with this sort of thing that rather than try and maybe fail that not trying at all is proposed as a reasoned course of action.

    Middle of Nowhere Festival 2012

    So what's the score with this festival? It's the first I've heard of it to my shame. The poster says the 15th and 16th, would I be right to assume it's just a turn up and pitch on the first night and the frolics begin on the 16th?

    Stone Road Ambulance site - Dorothy Perkins et al to leave Stafford?

    Well as far as the Tesco goes, I can tell you the people opposite aren't ecstatic about it. Might give me somewhere to park overnight though..... Objected to it on the basis that it'll impact on the businesses on Greyfriars, and God knows they struggle enough already, Marston Road and even the...

    What school did you go to?

    Flash Lea the Rising Brook in 84-88. Realised the other day that Rockie is still 'teaching' there, must be the oldest swinger in town!

    Decent Takeaway in Stafford

    Yep, I'm a fan of the Tiger Bowl for Chinese, Shuma Balti for Indian/curries etc and Chris' Fish Bar in Rising Brook for the old standard.....a fair way to travel from oop north, but worth it. More importantly, I wouldn't buy fish and chips from Northern Lights or the place opposite the Reynolds...

    Ambulance Station

    The ambulance service are just using Stone Road as a remote location at the moment rather than find somewhere else just because it's available. As soon as the land is sold....should it ever be....they'll just park up in a layby or some other spare bit of grounsd to await their calls. Fpr Mr X's...

    Men cleared as rape woman's group sex fantasy revealed

    Yeah, I'm with tek-monkey on that one. Chatting away on msn saying you wouldn't mind doing something doesn't preclude you from changing your mind when you meet them! Not quite sure how much their names have to do with their guilt.
