    I gave up on the news after the Brexit vote.
    I am much happier detached from all the stupidity since.

    The boffins have done their research and found that the "happiest" people are appreciated members of a small supportive community ...
    so no excuses for anyone on here!
    Failing that, playing a recording of Ken Dodd singing, guess what, is your best bet.
    On the other side of the coin (and this is THIS boffin's theory) as we're not anywhere near evolved enough to cope with a mass of information "beyond the tribal boundary" we actually produce all the wrong chemicals, (and don't convert the right ones) when faced with challenges that we have no way of reacting to or doing anything significant about ..... (£3 to some TV crisis appeal advert doesn't count!)
    Dats wot oi fink anyways
    ...and yes, I'll join Mr FT in his quest, at the risk of being "ostrich-ised" by my friends ... arf arf

    I've searched all over for "Guess What" by Ken Dodd but can't find it anywhere.

    Anyway, best route to happiness is to share your love with a dog (no lewd comments please!). I believe Ken Dodd's dad had a dog once?

    Nurse???

    Thanks but that's "Happiness", not "Guess What";)

    Linguistic pedant yes, grammar Nazi no!
    Did an English degree which put me off reading fiction for life but sharpened up the critical faculties a little too much in the process!
