Australia ranked tenth, but you wouldn't know it looking in here, smile you miserable bastards we can get up to 7th next year

Until you get to Australia, it seems that Happiness = Cold & Dank

It would appear that way, altough it's warm and dank here at the moment, which is only one up

Grey and damp here. I'm happy but no happier than I was in the UK. Just warmer.

I can't believe Switzerland and Finland are 4th and 5th - most Swiss and Finns that I've met have been miserable f**kers. Switzerland is probably one of unfriendliest countries that I've been to

They're all miserable and rude, so no-one wants to go there, which in turn makes them happy. Simple haha

These reports give me the pip - doesn't take a blind man to know that people in countries such as Norway etc are going to be better off/happier than those in Syria.

I was happy yesterday, I'm happy today and I'll be happy tomorrow. That's all I need to know. National Lotto winning numbers would come in handy as well.

haha, bloody Norweigan refugees. I reckon true happiness comes from the simple pleasures of life not possessions etc. I'm happiest when having a beer and listening to some records.

Have you seen the price of beer in Norway?

Amazulu

The price of everything. Our friends were in Oslo - 4 pizzas, 2 desserts, 1 beer, 1 glass wine, 2 soft drinks - over AUD300!

Can't be a smile, must be a grimace haha

Amazulu

Apparently, their beer is pretty rank too

I remember watching the 2003 rugby WC semi at 11am Oslo time in a bar. Pint of beer was equivalent to 6 quid 14 years ago.

I was going to suggest thet they may be happy because they don't drink, but that's ridiculous even for me

Beoz

Oh they drink, at home with beer bought from Germany
