Shiny Happy People that make Britain a better place
One hundred people who make Britain a better, more caring and contented nation are named today in The Independent on Sunday Happy List, 2009. Set up as an antidote to, say, the Rich List in The Sunday Times, the project includes multimillionaires who give money away rather than rake in huge bonuses; those who devote their lives to the disadvantaged; comedians who cheer us all up; and those unsung heroes of thousands of communities around the land such as the crimefighting milkman, a ridiculously brave lifeboatman, and the dog that brings comfort to the sick.

The IoS Happy List 2009
Any local heroes who cheer us up? I like the nice bloke in Tesco's that gives me lots of school vouchers not matter what my bill comes to.

Yes, I've spent my life waiting for a nice shiny happy multimillionaire heiress to come along and make me equally rich, shiny and happy -all to no avail. Still waiting. No dogs, comedians, milkpersons or lifeboat(wo)men need apply.

Dennis Leary on "Shiny, Happy people" (the annoying R.E.M. song, not the IoS list):
"Hey, hey, hey! Pull this bus over to the side of the pretentiousness turnpike! I want everybody out, I want the shiny people over here and the happy people over here! I represent angry, gun-toting, meat-eating people! ...Sit down and shut the f**k up, Michael."
