    29 Sep 2010 by silverstreak in Ex Pats, Uncool, World

    That’s if you’re living in the UK.

    Indeed, recently-conducted research (which is is of course always reliable; remember the Da Vinci Code?) has indicated that Britons between the age of the thirty and forty are the most unhappy group of people in the whole world.

    What’s there to be unhappy about?

    A decimated economy, a corrupt societal fabric, 65 days of sunshine in a year, beaches with pebbles on them, East Enders, a long tradition of inventing the world’s most popular sporting games and then sucking worse than everyone else at them…

    I could go on.

    The real crux of this story, though, is just how many other unhappy groups the upper-middle class pipped to the sulky post.

    Like, the whole of Pakistan, for example.

    The trapped Chilean miners (who seem downright jovial, by the by), perhaps.

    Eeyore.

    It takes a special kind of whingy self-indulgence to still come in at tops with all the misery and suffering in this world.

    Ex pats, show these chaps a little home-grown cheer while you’re there, won’t you? They need it.
