The reality of assisted dying
at 09:16 21 Jun 2025

I'm currently going through this at the moment with my mum. I just watched the clip thinking it was such a peaceful way to go. 27 days ago my mum had a massive seizure caused by a brain tumour. Since then she has been unable to talk, unable to move and unable to function. She is just being made 'comfortable'. She always said she just wants it to be quick (it was in her end of life care pack) when she goes. I can't imagine the frustration she is experiencing. For me personally, as much as it hurts to say I welcome this bill. Seeing the toil it is taking on everyone else around is heartbreaking and I know something to help speed this process up would be exactly what she would have wanted.
I understand the counter arguments and they are legitimate as well as the complexities. Specific measures would need to be in place to protect the vulnerable and in the case of my mum how could she communicate that this is now what she would like.

I do find it interesting that such a thing to decide can be politicised by Kemi Badenoch encouraging her party to vote against. This is a very personal choice and not sure why being the right or left would have any bearing on their decision.

'Appalling' season
at 15:19 25 Feb 2025

Personally speaking this season has been exactly what I expected. It was always going to be a struggle but there has not been a match I haven't been excited about. Yeah, the Liverpool's/Man City's were always going to be extremely unlikely to get anything from but there have been very few games I have not had some hope. There have been some excellent performances, even though the results may not have been kind, from a squad that two seasons ago were in the First Division. Things have been disappointing lately (Southampton) but from the teams that have more recently been in the Premier League, Ipswich are presently performing better than them. It's not over yet but I can see Wolves picking up now but that hope is still there and will be until it is mathematically impossible.

Whatever happens this season it should not take anything away from the teams achievements to be competing (closely) with teams that are established within the Premier League. There have been a few games that if it wasn't for some silly errors or dodgy refereeing decisions that things could have been different.

It is still a good time to be an Ipswich fan and if things continue the way they have for the last couple of years it should be for some time :-)

Remember the Maidstone game..

Completely agree. Yes it would be nice to progress but the league is the focus.

A single result does not represent the season.

Back in the 90's we also had Teamtalk. A terribly expensive premium rate phone number that had all the latest 'news'.

Imagine the annoyance of being 1 minute off the in the sweepstake

"Is there a sweepstake for the minute Ipswich get a deflected goal? I'm going 90+8"
