Conversely:
"Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly,
Good golly Miss Molly and boats.
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet,
Jump back in the alley, and nanny goats"

In summary: "There are bad times just around the corner" - seldom was a truer word spoken, methinks.

I started trying to read this along to the beat of the Chas & Dave song, but it didn't scan. That's another reason to not be cheerful.
It certainly feels like the decades of warnings about climate change are rapidly coming to pass and it's maddening that past generations didn't listen to them more - for the sake of my children's generation, whose future doesn't look bright.

Well, yes, but on the other hand, all of us here are probably in the top 5% of the world's wealthiest. Be grateful for what you have, as my grandmother used to tell us.

Quite excited about having a Labour government by 2025 at the latest but also quite depressed since there'll be nothing much left to govern.

I've always tried to be an optimist, a 'glass half full' kind of person. I'd like to think I'm pretty good at that but at the moment I'm genuinely struggling.

We've lived in an artificially sustained bubble for decades and now it's pop time. Cost-benefit ratio of about 1000000000:1

We worry for what we care. With thing going like this, I stop caring for as close to everything as I can. That way I can die happily. The rest is God's arrangement.

Things have been bad before. What's new this time is that we can no longer blame it on God, gods, evil spirits, bad foreigners or bad luck. We've done it all ourselves.

Just for the record, 'Reasons to be Cheerful' was by Ian Dury and the Blockheads, not Chas and Dave.

Well that’s cheered me right up,
erm “thanks” !!?

Woe, woe and thrice woe! Oh to be one of the quadrillion quintillion sextillion organisms that enjoy their brief transient existences on the planet without concepts of future cataclysm.

If you have the means, leave this country, nothing and no one can put this right. If not, give up, there is no other option.

Confusing Ian Dury with Chaz & Dave is equivalent to comparing Pavarotti with Jedward.

The gaps in my musical knowledge are another reason to not be cheerful.

Only nine days later, and the estimate for inflation in 2023 is now 18%, not 13%.
