Think the only excuse is people paranoid about cameras nowadays, especially if you're from out of town.

I'm not saying HP took a contract out. All I'm saying is the chances of 2 people involved in something/know each other dying hours apart is in the millions to 1.

You've mentioned the driver a couple of times, it's not like the police have ever been infiltrated or corrupt in their history. Why hasn't she been charged with something or pending investigation? Unless there's footage of him wondering into the road with headphones on or something.

I'm not saying it is 100% a "hit" but the odds on it happening hours apart are so high, surely you find it in the slightest bit an odd coincidence?

Yeah it’s definitely a strange coincidence but it’s just one of them.

Pretty eerie going to work in the mornings, particularly along Ansty Rd. Shell garage almost being the only light along the entire stretch at that time.

Try on the sidesteets where speedsters doing donuts etc,or killing children in general (daylight hours here but you get the point, fight crime after the event is no good or not good enough is it?

We're all with you, Daz. You are not a bad son, nor is she a bad mum. The disease has robbed you of each other. Hang in there.

Do that in your driving test and it's an instant fail. "Drive on the left" is the requirement. People just don't understand the rules of the road these days. Standards of driving have fallen off a cliff.

The claim is that studies show it leads to a decrease in crime, haven't read any of the information that apparently supports that though.

Anecdotally, in my area since they've been switched off overnight there's been a surge in car theft and burglary.

Feel for you mate, it's a horrible situation to be in. Think it's one of those things that everyone knows is bad but until you actually end up in that situation you don't realise just how bad it is and how it takes over your life. Plus there seems to be zero support for family members, probably not surprising given they can barely manage to support the person who is actually battling the disease.

It's so hard to just carry on with life but you can't take months / years off work to deal with the situation so it just totally takes over your life. When my Dad was finally diagnosed and entered end of life care we were told 3 - 6 months, but that 6 months was very very optimistic. He's still here 3.5 years later and it's such a weird situation that you feel like you can't really talk to anyone about without sounding like a dick.

We basically processed him dying, had everything planned for the funeral etc but he's still here, except he's not really. I think I last saw him awake about 3 months ago, on that occasion he thought I was his brother, he's never had a brother, he thinks his Mum & Dad are still around, who would be about 120. On the one hand you feel you're totally wasting your time visiting him, even when he is awake he has no idea who you are and the second you leave can't recall that anyone has visited, but the other hand you look at so many people in there whose family only show up once or twice a year.

Its really made me question if we do the right thing in keeping people alive as long as possible. His doctor said to me a while ago that the problem is we've got to a stage where we're so good at treating things we're keeping people alive far past the point that their bodies and brains can cope with. Is there really any benefit having him lying in bed 24/7, confused and distressed when he is awake. Who benefits?

I wouldn't be so crass as to raise it here, but the points you make are the basis for wider debate. My mother-in-law has rapidly-progressing vascular dementia (which doesn't have the same profile or focus as AD) , so i know some of the journey you have been on. My heart goes out to you.

The Mrs deciding it’s worthwhile moving the crib of our 12-week old next to my side of the bed for the night. When we both know she’s the light sleeper and I’m the deep sleeper so all that will happen is she wakes up and then wakes me up. There is literally no merit to us both being awoken.

Moments like this when words are useless.

Going for a run is probably pretty healthy for you for fitness and to relieve the stress.

We are all rooting for you and your family

Whilst there were many fictions depicted in the film, but I hate Darkest Hour portraying Elizabeth Layton as Winston Churchill's secretary in 1940.

She is a bit of a big old bird and not really the sort I go for, mind you, after a few beers that can change drastically, she would have to shut the fuck up though.

Granted - a few years ago, maybe. But at least she could make a christmas decoration out of your kecks!

Seriously, though, was she right to let her 15 year old son go inter-railing? I'm not sure i would.

I started typing a response to it earlier but figured I don’t yet have a teenage child so I probably can’t comment. However, I don’t see it as an issue and know a fair few who have gone on holiday without adult supervision at 14-16. I have quite a laissez faire attitude at the moment and that may change by the time my little one is 15, but it’s not making a child do something against their will so what benefit does SS being in the fold have?

My eldest is 14, maybe not now but when she’s a touch older I’d let her and any mature sensible friend she had go. It all depends on the kid. Some 18 year olds I wouldn’t be comfortable letting out my sight. Some 12 year olds can probably get themselves to another country with no hassle. It’s such a variable age, you’ve got to trust the parents view of their capability IMO.

Wanted to respond to this when I had a few spare moments. I hope you are doing alright Daz, and you did a courageous thing to open up and talk about it on here, so well done for that. I am so desperately sorry for your situation but we are all rooting for you. I lost a relative to Alzheimers and also another to MND and they are just the worst diseases. I know you will get there though and you have what sounds like a great support network in your family. Running is great, but just don't be too hard on yourself, to even think what you are thinking shows your heart is well in the right place. Best of luck mate and never hesitate to reach out on here if you want to have a vent/moan/babble - we're an alright bunch really!

AA membership,had my regular monthly go out on 28th of month, double what it was, that's my fault I guess, but on the next day almost £100 taken, apparently one monthly taken for car,other apparently personal, lengthy phone call,cut off at the end except it wasn't, wait for daughter to return from holiday to sort it I expect, certainly have no recollection of taking the personal cover,oh well!!
