I'm not having that. Canadians are the happiest people I know. Danes, the Swiss, Icelandics, Norwegians and Finns are always moaning about the price of stuff. Finns spend a half the year as pissed as arseholes.Montreal Wanderer wrote:I'm happy that the UN World Happiness Report lists Canadians as the sixth happiest people in the world (behind Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Finland).

Of course it is dark half the year in Finland so not a lot to do except get depressed and drink.Bruce Rioja wrote:I'm not having that. Canadians are the happiest people I know.

^ Heard about that on R5 this morning. Another silly name suggested is Usain Boat.
There was another invitation a while back to name an owl somewhere or other and the winner was Hooty McOwl Face.
The great British public!

Re: Today I'm happy about......
Just because I've never met one doesn't mean that they're not around.

But you did actually argue they didn't exist... and then went on to state the opposite.

They surely do exist. The Guardian tells us (from a Finnish study) :
This seems to support Bruce's point.Nordic Finland may be a well-known haven of progressive social policy, with an enviable living standard, cradle-to-grave welfare and the world’s best education system, but there is one social problem the Finns have not yet licked. Alcohol-related illnesses and incidents (including accidents, violence and suicide in which alcohol has factored) are the most common cause of death for both working age men and women there – and have been so for many years.

Bruce's point? You've got the wrong end of the stick mate.

Sorry, I thought he said: "Finns spend a half the year as pissed as arseholes." Must be something wrong with TW if it misattributed the remark.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:Bruce's point?

You need to call in one day, when you're passing. We can compare bitter and twisted in person over a drink.

My mum's cousin has sent her a happy 60th birthday card. That sings. Two years early.
I've been laughing for about half an hour.
