McDonalds coffee is amazingly good.

It’s surprisingly good here in the UK too.

Surprisingly was actually the adverb I meant, yes. Thanks.

Few things are actually "amazing" (or even amazingly good) anymore.

For whom?

Happiness can be found in surprising places. - So in that context, 'the secret for happiness' is a valid statement that one person (drawing on experience) may share with another.

Mr X had always linked happiness with money, but despite being very rich, still wasn't happy.
Mr Y told him, "the secret for being happy is eating ice cream in the bath, or inviting you neighbours to an impromptu picnic in your front garden." Happiness, fleeting as it often is, abides in the most unlikely of places, although often in the company of people we care about.

I have become increasingly grumpy about this in life over the last decade of so. Probably linked to getting older, but nevertheless why is everything so crap!?

Updates to devices; something always is worse. Apple have made a mess of text edit on iPads and phones a couple of updates ago.

Broadband: “hey we are the fastest in the universe” no, you’re just as crap as the rest. And why does my speed get reduced after a couple of months!

Trades on Facebook: “hey we are amazing at XXXX, he’s some photos, we can help you”. Phone or message…no reply.

Cars: “try our new HornySUX SUV, it’s packed full of stuff to help save the planet”. How long for delivery? “We currently have a 6 month lead time”.

Supermarkets: “we have the best offers” Checks website > sees offers > goes in > all out of stock

Every business: “your call is important to us” > 40 mins later > [x2 speed] “eh-oh fan you fa call-in dire insooorunce today, my nam is [inaudible] un I will be hayble to ansa your kestions; how are yu today?”
“I’m quite irritated at being kept waiting for 40 mins I’d just like to cancel my policy and there is nowhere on your website to do that”
“Ahh i um so sorry I will av to transfer yu to our [inaudible] teem”
“But you just said you can answer all my questions”
“Ey um so sorry bu I will av to transfer yu to [inaudible inaudible]
Grrrrrr. CLICK.
