Doesn’t make for a very long article though, does it!

So let’s ask if it’s actually true.

‘Is it actually true?’

Er, well no, really.

It certainly *looks* greener, oh yes, but for all you know it could be plastic astro-turf.

Don’t concentrate on other side of fence anyway, look to your own side.

Get out lawnmower, and trim that unnecessary straggly stuff. Get some lawn seed, and sprinkle liberally. Use that watering can, and clear away those broken shopping trolleys. Oooh, you’ll end up with a lovely bit of lawn!

Ok, ok, enough, but you get idea?

The grass being greener on other side is just an illusion. Other people’s lives being better and happier than yours is also just an illusion.

Ooh, no no, too gory for my liking, give me ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ any day.

They are really popular though, horrors, and I reckon I know how to make them even scarier…

Just as sweet innocent, (probably a virgin), is about to get hacked to a brutal death, or bitten or whatever, screen should go black, and in big white letters, this word should flash up:

CHANGE!!!

I’m telling you now, whole cinema would erupt. Popcorn flying, grown men screaming like girls, projectile vomiting, works.

It’s one of our deepest darkest fears.

Here’s why.

Change opens up possibility that things might be worse than they are at present moment. Yes, they might be better, but let’s face it, it’s much more likely that things will be worse.

Isn’t it?

Er, well no actually.
