My hit counter has been going through the roof of late; however, the pages being landed on contain the words ‘Worzel Gummidge’ and ‘Gollum’. It seems strange that a myriad Googlers are suddenly overcome by a desire to search on these criteria – has Worzel kicked the bucket, has Gollum joined the ConDem coalition?
David Cameron has ordered the compilation of what he calls a national happiness index. Realising that his cost cutting is about to give us the GDP of a banana republic, he wants a different measure of prosperity – one that no-one can independently verify.
I would imagine he’ll start it off the poll in an opium den in Hackney, where most people are fantastically happy for a period of time.
Next he could use a mental health ward in Hull, where everyone swings between being ecstatically happy or just about ready to disembowel themselves with a biro. The poll will have to be carefully timed to ensure the test is carried out in the patients’ manic phases.
Finally he could poll a collection of bankers. No doubts they are all happy as the proverbial Larry – the bastards!
He’d better steer clear of any Liverpool Football Club supporters though.
Long term happiness depends on only one thing – relationships – and by that I don’t mean having 6,000 Facebook friends. People make you happy, not things or money; at least that is what I always told people that I had to make redundant in the past.

If you borrow money from a friend and expect it back, consider this. Do you need the money or the friend more ! Then make a decision.
Phil: I'll pay that tenner back - one day.
