Arny is dragging our score down.
Paul is pulling Australia's score up, but the effect may be negated by

The questions asked were supposedly identical.
Individuals were simply asked to rate how happy they are.
BTW, you do not seem to be a very
happy person.

French people are never "happy". Your definition of happiness haven't any
sens here.

Really ?
I don't care about this braggart. I have just been happy that he asked me to
help him to make an ass of himself.
BTW I must say that's it's very funny when Dave is jiggling like a little
fish hanged at my fishing line.

I guess so. Personally, it sounds pretty boring to me, but you're
welcome to your rocking chair sports, deaf gramps. Now, put the
hearing aid back in so that you can enjoy your muzak.

I'll pretend to review speakers and you can continue to be a deaf
muzak listener confined to the rocking chair. That's a trade that I'll
take every day.
