Well, I don't imagine I'm any happier than you, Willie, or anyone else for that matter. Just happy maybe for different reasons.
I guess we all need a comfort blanket from time to time. But I prefer my friend to influence my mind than rely on the crutches of nicotine, alcohol, cocaine, other mens' wives, other mens' men, money, feelings of self-importance, whatever.
Good job we're not all the same - it would be a boring old world if we were.
Enjoy the party. I'll check Ian out next time I'm at the Mowbray for Ep'th FC.
