I know how that feels from when my Dad was in his 80,s with Dementia and no dignity.
Its mixed feelings really. Its good for them that they dont have to suffer any longer, but doesnt stop us from missing them.
The number of times I went to pick up the phone and call him, as was my nighly routine for years, was ridiculous.
It took a couple of years to get out of the habit.

I thought you were a scouser, so surely its around 13-15 years?

24, which is more than enough to see this world come to an end. Putin, Trump, global warming.........Yes, 24 is more than enough 

24 years perhaps, but about 22 of those years you'll be dribbling into a beige cardigan with wooden buttons......while a young carer scrapes the bulk of your dinner from your lap.

And the bulk of the previous nights dinner off his arse. 

As a kid I had a full set of Chivers Golliwogs

You'll get a knock from the thought Police.

FTFY. 

Thanks all. Everyone's experience is different, we've been expecting mum to go for a while and, in the end, it was a merciful release.

You seem to be well informed about these things. Forward planning? 

I use it for programming.

I have created a bespoke print management system that suits our needs perfectly rather than shoehorning myself into some one else perfect.

I have spent around 40hrs on it and I would say its around 95% complete and certainly good enough for us to begin testing with and ironing out the bugs.  Is it as good as paying a real programmer - No,  will it get the job done without the £250-£300 per month subscription fee of a system that will frustrate me and my team absolutely.

No problems with people getting frustrated or not understanding what you want - it does have a habit of going of on a tangent after long conversations sometimes so you have to reel it back in and keep plenty of backups!

Use it as a tool and its great,  let it run your life like the government and the ai providers want us to and it will ruin us and take over the world skynet style!

So any recommendations to try?

Sorry for your loss Steve a good age though , I lost my mum 8 years ago she had a tough life with my father, he died last month he was 89 he was a horrible bastard we fell out big time around 25 years ago so his death hasn't affected me in the slightest, never got to say goodbye to my Mum which I found hard thanks to his stubbornness .

Never tried Gemini or Co Pilot but will try them soon maybe.

They are every bit as shit. Unless you want to make fake videos of furry cats attacking an elephant, don't bother.

Sorry for your loss Ste, 96 is a damn good innings but that isn't much comfort at a time like this. All the best x
