        There are a lot of folks emigrating from South Africa right now and we see this all the time - 'please adopt or we'll be forced to put them down'. Fucking bullshit, you take them with you.

        There was that time that I got custody of the cat. Agreed amicably.

        But for both parties to abandon the animal stinks. One of them must have been the cat person.

        My wife doesn't really like the cats. But if anything happened to me, I trust that she would at least feed them.

        Hope the parcel arrives safely! Delivery troubles are hell on stress, both the type that involves Amazon and the type that involves babies.

        As a Brit, Heinz ketchup and beans seem very much a part of British life to me, but my suspicions are right: the company is American.

        I more sure that Marmite is British, though!

        I heard that from my dad all the time. Then he came down with it himself. He didn’t just “pull himself up by the boot straps”. Luckily I finally convinced him to see the doctor. Changed his outlook.

        As I said, I've only seen the mild end, but people are not unable to understand what it is like. The usual thing is to confuse clinical depression with being-fed-up depression. the latter can be fixed much more easily by attitude/life-change; the former, although it is sometimes triggered, has nothing to do with being fed up or unhappy etc. It is a shame that people have to find out the hard way.
