    The mother of one of my daughter's school friends was diagnosed with it. She lived about 3-4 years but in the end, as it was explained to me, she had life extending drugs which she just chose not to take when life became unendurable and she then passed fairly quickly and peacefully.

    Horrible to think of having to take that decision.

    Grim. Sorry to hear that.

    Has to be said that I do wish we'd grow up about assisted suicide in this country. I understand the squeamishness, but this absurd situation where we effectively subcontract the service to Holland and Switzerland (thus effectively restricting it to those wealthy enough to afford it) is a patent absurdity.

    You die due to not being able to breathe. That's isn't 'peaceful', that's asphyxiation.

    She died in April just before her birthday, whilst I was at St James' Park watching The Arsenal draw 0-0.

    Come to think of it, I've seen The Arsenal draw 0-0 up there a few times :jonah:

    I'll check. Gilberto had one cleared off the line. They hit the post.
    Those were the highlights, istr.

    I appreciate I should know what year my grandmother died. I don't.

    Got 0-0s mixed up. Gervinho sent off after some Joey Barton shíthousery.
