Thread | nice effort with the projector at windsor
by redrickstuhaart at 11:17 17 Sep 2025
Whilst I recognize the police needed to do something I can't see how the malicious communications charge could possibly hold up or be prosecuted. Will be interesting to see if proceedings are brought for wrongful arrest.... |

Fair play to these guys, giving it a good go, and a really nice touch.
Give them a like/follow etc.

Thread | This place is fooking awful at the moment
by Dubtractor at 11:09 17 Sep 2025
Truly unbearable.
Parking the question of who is right or wrong, it is a perfect microcosm of the way that we have all been divided into tribes by the people with hands on the levers of power in recent years. Brexit is the most obvious example here, but there are loads more, and it's very evidently a deliberate ploy to divide populations into this they disagree about rather than unite on the things they agree on. The USA over the last decade is obviously another good example.
I try my hardest not to get sucked in, but it's becoming increasingly hard to just ignore stuff that I find almost upsetting at times.
Think im going to go football only on here for a bit. Which is a shame, as I do value seeing different views to challenge my world view.
Appreciate that this is a bit of a look at me post, but wanted to be able to vent a bit.

Having to welcome a nonce into his home, wineing and dining him with no mentions for his hanging out with and sharing time with a convicted peado, a man who uses his wealth and influence to avoid legal cases.
Anyhow enough of Andrew, today Charlie boy gets to chill with Donald. |

Thread | Why did the media and police lie so readily
by onceablue at 07:20 17 Sep 2025
Lie about the number of people on the Unite the Kingdom rally
Police say 110,000 on the Unite the Kingdom rally
We took 5,000 to Preston the other week.
According to the Police that means there were only 22x more people on the rally.
There was quite clearly between 500,000 to a 1,000,000 people on that protest
The Police lied because they, the media and the Government want to play down the feeling of the Country at the moment

Is anyone traveling from Norwich for the game? Unsure how the trains will work with both sets of fans? Going solo and don’t really fancy getting loads of stick in my Ipswich shirt! |

Thread | Pancreatic cancer...
by Zx1988 at 20:59 16 Sep 2025
Can anyone offer any advice here please?
Long story short, my great aunt was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in April of last year, underwent surgery, and apparently was given the all clear. My sister and I, however, aren't necessarily convinced this is the actual version of events, given the current state of affairs.
We completely appreciate why she may have chosen to keep it to herself, and know that it will have been done from a place of the utmost love and care, but it makes deciphering things bloody difficult!
For a bit more context...
She was diagnosed back in April 2023 and underwent surgery (a 'Whipple Procedure'), which seemed to do the trick. She struggled a bit in recovering her mobility, and still hasn't really got back to eating properly. She's still fed through a tube, which is keeping her in residential care.
A few months back she, having been convalescing in Chislehurst, moved up to Ipswich to continue her care and be closer to family. She's lost a hell of a lot of weight over the months (albeit she's now at a broadly healthy weight, compared to the mobidly obese Great Aunt that I've known throughout my years on the planet), but has got her mobility back and, when the wife and I visited her in July, was more mobile and spritely than she's ever been, and was talking of trying to get out of the home sooner rather than later (with the eating seemingly being the only thing tying her there), selling her flat in London, and moving up to a bungalow in Ipswich. So far so good, and so incredibly positive.
But...
She was admitted to hospital at the tail end of last week suffering with abdominal pains and passing blood. She's currently in the Capel ward at Heath Road, apparently incredibly weak, and refusing visitors. From the limited research I've done, it does sound as if pancreatic cancer is one of those nasty ones that can just decide that your time has come at the flick of a switch.
I'm just struggling to get my head around it all, and work out what it all may be. She's 72, been incredibly overweight for the thick end of 30 years, smoked most of her life, and probably hasn't lived the healthiest lifestyle, so the deck is rather stacked against her.
She's also the kind of person that, if she'd received the news last year that the operation hadn't been entirely successful and had only, perhaps, bought her another twelve months, would have kept that under her hat, tried to have the best final year possible, and not want to worry us all with knowledge of her impending demise.
So... for those of you who know about such things from either personal experience or from your medical knowledge, does this sound very much like an end-game situation? Or could it just be an unfortunate coincidence of symptoms and timing? |

Thread | Driving offence advice please
by soupytwist at 18:57 16 Sep 2025
A member of my family has received a section 172 notice of intended prosecution for driving without due care and attention.
It’s the result of them rear-ending a car approaching a roundabout. The police did not attend, the person in the car they hit was very reasonable at the time, probably because they knew that the incident occurred because they’d had to brake suddenly due to erratic behaviour by the person in front of them.
However, the person in the car they hit is claiming whiplash etc. and their car had a rear facing dash cam which does show that the family member is more or less bang to rights. Is it likely that the driver sent that footage to the police? Or perhaps sent it somewhere else to do with their claim and it’s found its way to the police from there? Why would they do that, does it mean the injury claim is likely to be paid at a higher amount?
Either way the date on the S172 is more than 14 days (27 in fact) after the incident which is beyond the time frame for sending one isn’t it?
That aside, what’s the likely outcome from there? Complete the form and get points and a fine presumably? It’s their first offence.
Thanks |

Thread | Remembering The Beat and Bolan.
by StochesStotasBlewe at 16:57 16 Sep 2025
Kevin Beattie passed away seven years ago today. A colossus of a defender and still my all time favourite Ipswich Town player. Had a shot like a rocket, tackled like a tank and was immense in the air. They don’t make centre half’s like him any more. Legend.
Marc Bolan , my early teenage years were heavily influenced by the great man, weird lyrically at times, but in my eyes was a genius who was probably a bit ahead of his time and taken on this day in 1977 at only 29. Still love listening to his music. Legend. |
