For a while now, I have noticed that I can attach things up to 100MB to messages to some contacts, but only 25MB to the others, the majority. I can see no obvious distinction/correlation for the two groups. Does anybody know why the difference occurs? It doesn't really matter to me, I'm just...

Today, I became aware that Andy Y is no longer with us. He was never a prolific poster, 67 in 12 years, but was always a voice of sanity. I knew him via here and another forum that I inhabit. I also met him a few times in the real world, at railway exhibitions and when I bought his ladders...

This is an interesting approach, if a strange place to start it. https://evoke.ie/2025/01/30/news/lidl-pub-ireland Possibly a threat to Wetherspoons?

I've been there tonight, to see local exile Heidi Browne. A marvellous night. In general, every time I come back to the environs of Stafford for few weeks, most things seems worse. To find a place that is a genuine improvement is very uplifting. Keep an eye on it and support it if you can...

This has opened in St Mary's Mews. https://www.facebook.com/StaffsHub/posts/pfbid06KaRjT4wbukbrpp4TZqikLXeE9NLXT6PgDqeWRxpuZy47qJj1br3ss62zTnt4nZTl

The roadworks plague isn't just in Stafford. "It appears that Staffordshire and Shropshire councils are doing there best to put us out of business. There are road works scheduled for almost the entire duration of our season that will result in road closure signs from every direction. The farm...

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.
