Reply to: Happiness: A Definition

[Cliphead]

I'm lucky enough to be able to get all of my contract work in Scotland although I have no problem working down south, even London although I won't be back.

I measure happiness by the quality of life I experience, in summary;

IT is a hobby which became a job, I still have the enthusiasm after 27 odd years and it pays rather well.

Music is a hobby which also pays rather well and keeps my head together.

I live where I want to live with no neighbours, no crime, beautiful countryside, short commuting distance.

I've achieved most of my ambitions and the rest lined up.

Probably North. Down south them seem to a be a miserable bunch!

However for a definition

Income £1,000 outgoing £999.99 Happiness

Income £999.99 outgoings £1,000 Great sadness and grinding of teeth!

Sounds better in the original Dickensian:

Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.

Where do you think the most happiest of people live?

North or South

I think I've struck the right balance - 25min on the fast train straight into Central London, living in a nice area with plenty of greenery, riverside, parks, things to do and a proper little community, low crime rate, fairly good council etc.

No plans to move. I know I'd probably be happier back in the wild, but there's so much going on socially and culturally that I'd miss, so it's a trade off.

I'm happy and I live right in the middle of London. Or is that because I live in the middle of London?

Most people have to live a paupers existence, i.e. live in housing that was designed for the working class of the last century.

And as long as the taxman falls for that image, I'll remain happy!

Just to get back to the original topic/poll i can be transformed from being an unhappy person in anypart of this damn country to a happy one with the simplest of sentences: Lets go to the pub

If only you knew, I might let you have some of my sloppy seconds if you shape up!

Actually I did hear you were a bit of a Cassanova. In fact one your mates sent me this picture of you and one of your conquests:

Bagpuss and Missus

You have to excuse him. He can't communicate with women, so it's better for him to imagine you're a bloke.
