what do you guys think of this article written by an american who travelled around the world to compile a list of the happyest nationi, after coming to england.

“I feel sorry for the Brits; they don’t merely enjoy misery, they get off on it.”

“The colours range from deeper to lighter shades of grey. The people seem grey too, and slightly dishevelled.

Both nations, the researchers found, liked positive humour, but only the British appreciated sarcasm, self-deprecation, teasing and ridicule, and the less pleasing aspects of racist or sexist humour.

“Self-defeating humour tends to be highly correlated with neuroticism. People who tend to be more negative, depressed and anxious tend to use that kind of humour,” Dr Martin said.

What do you english people think?

To quote Bill Bailey:

I'm English, and as such I crave disappointment. That's why I buy Kinder Surprise. Horrible chocolate; nasty little toy: a double-whammy of disillusionment! Sometimes I eat the toy out of sheer despair. I actually call them the Eggs Of Numbing Inevitability. And when I buy them, I always ask for them in the third person: "Bill Bailey would like the Eggs Of Numbing Inevitability." It answered me back once, in a funny voice it said "But you are not Bill Bailey, you are a mere Doppelganger. I am the true Bill Bailey, from another dimension." And I thought, Oh alright. I decided the only way to overcome this was to run very fast at my counterpart, and I was just about to hit it when I realised it was actually the highly polished side of a cheese counter.
