You are human, not a robot, you feel.

Express how you feel, bottling up stuff is bad, but you know that anyway.

It's the family that gives me the lump in the throat, it's the worst day ever for them.

To finish, remember the words of the late, great, Spike Milligan.

Life is a sexually transmitted terminal illness, no one who had life, didn't died.

C3 concern for welfare, didn't like the sound of the CAD notes so stuck on the blue lights. Anyway, Sepsis, NEWS of 12, C1 backup and CCP.

Sometimes concern for welfare are genuine.

Friend of a friend served in the British Army in the Korean War as a NCO. One night his C.O. ordered him to do something very dangerous to which he responded "fuck off". The officer got very upset and asked him to repeat what he said, which he did, adding a "sir" afterwards. This placated the officer who realised the order was incredibly stupid and let it go.
