Bloody gorgeous spring day here in Kernow. Have a meal in the slo-cooker for when Mrs Meldrew returns in a couple of hours and have discovered an absolutely brilliant Limoux Chardonnay.
Life is good - again.

@jc camels? Gezzuz mate, I'm hardly a Wellingtonian on 6 figures.
You're barely even a Wellingtonian

Seems I got to remember english lessons, and put in commas huh?
I actually still got mate, we actually married at 18, so I figured she got too many miles on clock to get a decent price !

regards happiness scale, it would be a good time to be selling popcorn in Australia right now. Ex-PM advising media on what current PM's office should be aware off and how he himself did everything better with more woke legislation. Plus everyone is claiming credit for a bonk ban that frankly doesn't seem to be working anyway for the big swinging appendages of Parliament.
I seriously think I am going to run out of popcorn.
But it would be nice to live in a country where the govt. has a clue and spends a little bit of time actually governing. That might make me a little happier. -
@nostrildamus you can still get into the uk
-
@bones really? Yes someone told me I am allowed to escape Australia now. Don't know if the Brits want me back-I don't have a UK passport as the old man never bothered to get one
And yes you are probably whooshing me but I did enjoy Blighty, apart from the food, climate, transport, wages, crime, and ... being probably that rare type of posted colonial who preferred the smaller and older towns to London..

@nostrildamus yeah was being glib, the UK government hasn't exactly got an easy time at the moment...

I don’t believe it exists, at least not in what we traditionally call the West. Some Asian nations appear very well run. Taiwan or Singapore maybe? But then you might not want to be fined for chewing gum?

@rancid-schnitzel long held the view that a benevolent despot is the most effective form of government. Just depends on your definitions of effective and benevolent.

When you inadvertently get it stuck on your shoe and it sticks to the mats in your car, or your carpet at home? Yeah!!

Singapore had, IIRC, the best paid government officials in the world. So theoretically no need to line one's pockets. They have certainly done brilliantly well over the last 70 years or so
