My grandad is going through this at the moment . All his life it was my gran and him . She was always blind and partially deaf and he lost his leg in a gun accident as a teenager . They met when young and throughout their life they were a team in everything and everywhere they went . They raised 4 boys with all their problems and in later life they travelled lots and enjoyed life and holidays with us . They made a pact years ago that if one was looking like they were on the way out they would go switzerland together and both go together. It didnt end up like that because my gran went downhill

I think we all have the right to dignity. Personally if I get to the stage where I can’t wipe my own arse and I’m not going to get better and need total care , I’d want out .

Cheers Arry

My mother died back in 2015 from cancer of the asophicus she was diagnosed in October 2014. She literally starved to death and was only about 3 stone when she went. I have never seen anything like it in my life, as much as the body was dying it was using all its other resources to survive. She was perfectly sound of mind and I think if the option was there she may have asked for assisted suicide. After seeing that with my own eyes I believe it should be made a option for seriously ill people. It was nothing short of cruel to let somebody die like she did. I can never get me head around th

When I was younger I had food poisoning. Christ I was ill . The whole experience changed my view on death , as I remember thinking to myself , “ if I’m going to die , let’s hurry up and get it over with , I can’t stand much more of this “. Since then my view is that if I was really ill and in discomfort , death is almost welcome and not to be feared . I might be wrong but pain management for cancer is for most patients good , And in the final stages of life the patient is effectively put out of their misery by morphine. What is contentious is people with Parkinson’s or

Bred a litter of terrier pups a few yrs ago and kept back 2 bitches..reared and treated both the same,had them out from pups,pegged out at digs so they could learn the crack,the smooth bitch went the first time she was tried in a puppy spot...the other sister was a tab slower....took her out every time I went digging,didn't want to know? wouldn't go near a hole or have a sniff or rag on anything ,wasn't really interested in rats?anyway I liked this little bitch Twist ,she was no trouble,tiny little thing like a rabbit lol..was digging her sister and siblings consistently in the season,still

The decision should be in the hands of the poor fecker that is suffering,..its got nothing to do with anyone else...? Our job, (their job)...is to end the suffering as humanely,.. as is possible...?

Nothing special, but I like the fact this meal cost me nothing. Mashed carrot and swede and pickled onions from my allotment, and trout I swapped for rabbits with my brother. Cheers.

Present from wife ?

The reason their getting soft treatment is because the PM Carrie Johnson - ( Deliberate Mistake ) is a Greenie who loves this kinda of shit and we mustn’t not save the planet must we queues of drivers polluting like mad doesn’t make sense. How can you deliberately stop people putting food on the table miss hospital appointments miss funerals etc, pepper spray the b*****ds in the face…

Currently away at a plant task in the south of England . if I don’t stop getting these Amazon “your package has been delivered “ email updates , the first assisted death will be my wife

When men drank Tea we had an Empire...

Telling you this but there's this 60 summat year owd chap moved in next door to me he lost family so moved to Colchester to be nearer to his sister n niece he's from Belfast a nicer bloke you couldn't wish to meat and we have become friends but he's had a brain operation fer epilepsy to long for me to go into details but tuther day he went and had his hair shaved dear god the wound on his head I could fit my fist in. So I keep my eye on

No need to be Francie it was a relief I got my head round it years ago that that poor woman in the bed wasn't my mam but just her husk the mam I knew was always doing something

My Nana took me in and raised me from 11 yrs old, because my mum gave up on me..we were extremely close,I was treated as one of her own,much to her own children's disappointment...I didn't speak to my own mother until 2003...Nana was admitted to hospital after suffering 3 massive heart attacks put on a ventilator...I went in to see her,I was the only one who's name she could remember ?we said our goodbyes and she told me she was ready to go...and they kept on to the docs to keep her going for a few more days...she left us at 11:53pm Christmas eve 2006,will never leave me that?.at 12 o'clock my

Lost my mam beginning of this year after 12 years of dimetia last 5 year rarely out of bed didn't recognise any of us that's not living don't understand why we are so scared of assisted death I know she would of opted for it

I agree with you mate, went through it all a couple of years ago with both my grandparents. But the thing is mate, I or nobody else was to know what was going on in their minds. My grandad and grandmother loved life and loved his family, no matter how much suffering he was in who's to say he wasn't enjoying that moment of being alive and with his loved ones? We all know fully well that our views and opinions are not set in stone, who's to say ones thoughts on death can't change when the pearly gates come knocking? Like I said, it's a very difficult subject to discuss and

I'm absolutely 100% in favour of it. I was in hospital just the other week. They brought in this old guy and all he did was scream the fukking place down, till they doped him unconscious. I nodded his way to the young nurse and simply said: " Thank god I have a shotgun. I still have a choice. " I think a lot of it is to do with that 'Hippocratic Oath'. To preserve life, no matter absolutely what. Well, I've seen a bloke, talking to someone on a mobile phone. Only, everything about him from the naval down was smeared across the fukking road he was laying on. Literally just an unr

Anyone old enough to remember the enamel mug ? Terrible ! Would burn your lips off ! ? ! Cheers.

Any one else noticing that squirrels suddenly seem to be the number one corpse, I see 3/4 every morning on the roads travelling to work, not sad but I often look at roadkill as a gauge to population numbers and by that reckoning the squirrels must be near plague proportions, anyone else getting this in there areas ???

ive watched a good number of close family members and close friends suffer terribly from terminal cancer. Some have said i need to be allowed to put a end to this its unbearable pain and distress and others say no matter what happens i want to talk and be with my loved ones to the end. A individual choice which must be respected in my opinion.

Everybody's different mine didn't go in a home she passed away at home for the last twelve year I've watched it take everything you take for granted if your mother wanted everyday she could that's good on her but not everybody thinks that way why shouldn't they have the right to die with dignity

my dad went at 64 and all his life he enjoyed himself a bit selfish sometimes but it was his life and boy did he live it he liked a good drink the greyhound were two or three meetings a week sometimes more he smoked as much as he wanted in fact he never did anything in moderation, , he was also a grand worker he had a garage a coach company two scrap yards one for ferrous metals the other for non ferrous and he was confined to bed with the cancer he would say enjoy your life and if you get the chance to have an extra day of it grab it with both hands for you dont know how precious it is until

Earl grey is black tea such as a Chinese keemun but with bergamot oil infused into it. So deffo tea.

I would have thought that the target shooters who are shooting at extreme range in competition’s ( the big boys) go down the custom barrel , custom stock route . I wouldn’t have thought they use a Mauser or Tikka or any of the more budget rifles , they all probably load their own ammunition too . It’s a completely different ball game . A good ball game , if that’s your thing , but a very different type of shooting to what most of the contributors to this thread are accustomed to .

I don't think they would have the stomach for the police brutality some of us suffered from during the pit strike i think they are being handled with kid gloves so as not to make martyrs out of some of them imho.

I agree the talk of ending peaceful protest is a f*****g joke and long may protesting continue I think in general with people like this in my opinion & i am more than willing to listen & be put right about it as im not 100% sure but how many of them really are there for truly believing,and how many are there for just thinking they are "edgy" and rebelling for rebelling sake I also cant really make you wrong that coherent arguements dont get s**t done when you mention it,but also would say what have these people achieved? I agree too you can admire their solidarity,tha

Would we support them if they were blocking the M20 in protest at a 1000 camel jockeys landing on the beaches of Dover every week ?…….yes, I think we probably would. THAT is the point lads ?

you can feck right of torturing people like that abuse is more than physical, ive got weetabix

is that really a thing...f**k me.... my lads keep there hair short now ...but the older one could grow one as could my mrs.....she straightens hers though

Stopped at a butty van at the side of the road for a bottle of water and she's selling home made sausage rolls. Gutted I've broken my pledge to eat healthy mid week but fck it was good.

Lost my dad this year, had a brain hemorrhage, but they resuscitate until they know what's wrong obviously, but he was dead, his breathing and heart strong as an ox he kept going for four days, it gave family a chance to hold his hand etc but I honestly wanted him to go. He was already gone in my eyes. They said he had a tumour on his kidneys, he was a private proud man and I'd rather he went like that than a long drawn out affair requiring care etc.

The way I look at it is I couldn’t care less what another man has in his kennel or what he does with his dogs all I know is I’ve a bitch in my kennel that I can use an I’m happy with I’ll breed my next replacement when the time comes

Thanks lads and no mate bred by a local lad In the valleys his own little line going back a few generations no big names or crazy breeding just good worker to worker

Enjoying this guys videos nice and down to earth and the old versatile collies helping him out.

Bring it...

And my current little pup Little shit wont keep still for a pic? looking forward to his future

Posted Sunday at 13:21 "I was walking a pup I had in the valleys and happened into a chap who was shooting a bit close to me, to warn me away from walking near a field or whatever, so I went over to chat as he was shouting at me lol. Turns out he was the local go to guy to have a dog shot, and told stories of dogs being shot on the lead unexpectedly by their owner etc who didn't want to witness the deed, this although odd to tell a stranger wasn't anything particularly odd, but then told me of his bull X's and how his best bitch spat a fox at 9 years old and had been a

Cheers.

The truth of it is these types of people are chasing Elysium and will never be happy with what’s in their kennel … they are not true dog men that can work around a dogs quirks and get the best out of it they want perfection and spend a lifetime chasing it only to realise when they’ve made old bones that there is no such thing ……
