Oh for god's sake. Who cares?

Get a new hobby, meet some new friends, go and volunteer for a saturday night with the homeless, bake a cake you've never baked before, go to a bar you've always been scared to go in and have a cocktail, go and eat sushi, go and see some death metal just for the sh*t of it, go on a walking tour, buy a guinea pig, learn how to write your name in Japanese, write a hand-written letter to a friend you normally only e-mail, call your mum and tell her she's ace, learn how to play 'smoke on the water' on the guitar, join the library and get out all of those classic books you've never read, write a 10 page letter to Tesco head office telling them you'll never shop there again and you're using your local butcher from now on, make a pizza from scratch including the base and with fresh oregano, listen to 'Sabotage' by The Beastie Boys really, really loudly, spend a sunday afternoon with three cream cakes and your favourite magazines, buy £100 of shares in a company picked at random, visit Iceland for a weekend, go to the seaside and play on the penny machines, get a tattoo in a hidden place and don't tell anyone, send a kid in your family £20 and tell them to spend it on only fun stuff, next time it really hammers it down with rain go and have a dance in the downpour, learn a couple of star constellations and then find them on a clear night, go for a walk with a loved one at midnight, write a complaint letter to a business you've always hated, buy an unusual hat, borrow the first series of The Wire on DVD and enjoy, test drive a posh car, enter a 10k run, lie in bed with your partner and play mallet's mallet, learn to juggle.

I won't go on. Quality of life is nothing to do with your nation's average life expectancy, the amount of days you get off work or alcohol costing more at your local shop than it does in Spain. Get out there, enjoy yourself.

How's decorating the kitchen going then Cleaver?
