Aaw I was wondering where that had gone! Hope they manage to find a replacement. Have they tried freecycle? ;p

I used to work there and, though I can't say much else, I can confirm that the people who put those signs up do indeed want to reopen it as a cinema.

TV now claimed. Feel free to delete this thread, mods. Thread title altered for information.

Hi all, My parents upgraded to a smart TV over Christmas and they've asked me to get rid of their old one. They were going to just take it to the tip but, as it's still fully-functioning, I thought I'd ask if anyone here would like it? You'd have to pick it up from their house in Alder Grove in...

It's basically fine to reveal your vote. It's illegal to reveal anyone else's. Here's a quote from around last years elections: A statement by the Electoral Commission said: “A voter may volunteer information about who they voted for, provided no undue influence is exerted on them to do so...

I was the only person in there when I voted (in Highfields). I did see maybe 3-4 people nearby who I presume had just voted or where on their way (due to the location), all probably 70+.

Just voted Remain.

Heh, I take it you've not heard about the infamous 'Brownload' that was 2012...? Been a good down-pouring each year since, at some stage, though 2014 was pretty good.

Really excited for the likes of Rammstein, Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Korn etc, this weekend.... hopefully the weather stays like these but, as it's Download, we're almost certain to get wet at some point. Any Staffordians going this year?

I've seen him mentioned plenty in the 'local characters' thread, I was directed there after making this one (this thread is over a year old, just in case people don't realise!)

It's been suggested that he's known to the police and the relevant support authorities..... obviously no idea how true that is, but I imagine it is because I can't believe that he's gone through life without attracting some form of professional attention.

Self-defense doesn't necessarily equate to physical violence, though.... just to point that out.

I'm also a walker, do two hours or so a day as I work from home, for exercise. I'll be sure to wave if I see any other forum walkers on my travels. XD @Wormella @staffordjas

There is a bit of writing seemingly by said cyclist online (I don't want to post a link as it contains an email address...) in which he claims to suffer delusions and have brain abnormalities. Of course it could be someone else with the same name and location, but thought I'd mention. If I get...

Welllllllll he's known to be someone who suffers from mental problems and delusions and so it's tough, because a slap around the head wouldn't do much good to set him right. ... which is probably a good thing, as a lot of us would be nursing sore ears if a swift smack was a cure for mental...

Another encounter with (in the spirit of not giving full names away) the "angry cyclist of Stafford" today. I was walking over the bridge by the retail park, minding my own business, when he rode past in the bike lane shouting abuse and sticking his middle finger up. Lovely fella.

I have to say the recommendations for Park House vets are spot on. I had a terrible experience with the Island Vets this year... Went in and the guy didn't know anything about birds - he prescribed antibiotics based on my vague memory of what Vets 4 Pets had prescribed him when he'd been poorly...

Just finished 'Carrie'. Great read. Now on 'Haunted' by Chuck Palahniuk.... heard that the good reviews and the bad reviews all say the same thing, ie "it's disgusting". I'm barely 30 pages in and it's already made me incredibly uncomfortable!

Fear The Walking Dead is OK.... I found it entertaining but the problem is that there's no real justification for it's existence other than as a money-maker. You could watch any classic zombie movie and get about as much out of it.

It really is great. Season 2 already commissioned, too. Bruce Campbell is going to go on to even greater things, I'm sure.
