Ive done a few things here and there and also support Alzheimer’s and cancer research, both of which are close to my heart.
But in the recent weeks I’ve found myself in a position where I’ve needed the help, and I can hand on heart say that there are some very caring and lovely people on the forum who have helped me in more ways than they can imagine.
I’ll forever be thankful to those people and if they ever needed anything that I could assist with, I’d help in a heart beat xx
I think your leaving yourself open to some suggestions there this girl.
Hahahaha I’m a lady and would graciously decline ? but anything else I’m still happy to help lol
29th January 2019 at 6:49 pm #44331I suppose I meant when have you done something which someone had been the most grateful for, I always remember that homeless guy because of his reaction
??? Nice….. I gave 4 teenage girls a free run home at 4.30am, they had lost/spent the taxi money. Asked if I would take them home, asked for my Number so they could return the money £10 and 1 girl and her dad drove round to meet me the following day, both very grateful & it’s nice to get some satisfaction from a kind deed.
My mum took me and my bro for a Sunday lunch soon after that & the place we were in another girl said Hey you took us home a few weeks ago when we were stranded & we got %50 off our Sunday lunch ????
OK Haz… The floor is yours my friend, my comebacks are far too crass to reply to this one LOL
29th January 2019 at 6:51 pm #44332A story of someone else’s kindness. After been in an accident in a works van with my girlfriend driving and her daughter in the van near Cambridge. The van rolled twice. Scariest day of my life. The traffic continued to drive past. One car stopped on the hard shoulder. A guy got out to see if we were ok. He stayed with us till the police arrived. He gave my step daughter his jacket. When the police arrived my step daughter went to take the jacket off. He said keep it. He stayed for over half an hour. A complete stranger. I will never forget this guy. He was like a bloody angel or something.

129th January 2019 at 6:59 pm #44337I’ve been doing voluntary work for the past few years and i get more satisfaction out of it than any of the shitty paid work i’ve done. Get to meet so many different people from “shop floor” to managers and many, many wonderful, genorous members of the publc all doing their bit to help people in need.
29th January 2019 at 9:25 pm #44399I try to help people as much as I can but honestly can’t remember every little bit I’ve done to help people out there’s a few I can:
A few years back in Shotton around Christmas time I’d finished my shift at work and was heading to catch the last train home, turns out it had been cancelled and no replacement bus was due. Well I had to get a taxi that cost me £30 in the end while I was waiting I got talking to this young lass who was just about to leave secondary school, she’d been ice skating and was stranded as the train was cancelled, ended up giving her £50 to get a taxi home. Gave her my mobile number and took her’s and her name too and asked her to send me a message when she was home safe and sound.
Another time I was walking home from a mates house late one Saturday and stumbled upon a young lad that was well and truly pissed, could barely stand up and his mobile was dead so he couldn’t call a cab to get him home. I took him back to mine and tried to get hold of a taxi for him must have been about 23:00 well as it was a Saturday and being that time none of the local taxi ranks had anything available so I sat with him for a bit and had a chat (well as best he could, he was truly wankered) ended up getting through to one around 2:00am- he’d gone out into my garden to get some fresh air, ended up puking up in the bushes and falling asleep…took a good few minutes to wake him up and find out where he was going haha.
My ex was Polish and while her brother was visiting her over here he was telling me due to the living wage in Poland and his mum being the only one to support him that she couldn’t afford the latest console (Xbox360 at the time) and that he had the old Playstation. So when I had a decent win on the lotto hotpick’s I bought him and his best mate an xbox 360 each with the latest Fifa and sent it over to him so they could play together, really felt sorry for the lad as I’d always had the latest consoles when I was growing up…sometimes you just don’t know how lucky you are.
129th January 2019 at 9:29 pm #44400thats a lovely post just goes to show there are good people out there that still exist.
30th January 2019 at 2:46 am #44487I try to help as many people as i can tbh, i have been in the position of wishing someone would just sling me a tenner for a meal as i hadn’t eaten in a week, that person never showed up for me but i will try and be that person for as many people as possible as it is a horrible position to be in, even if you did get yourself there in the first place as was usually the case with me lol
4130th January 2019 at 3:13 am #44407A small gesture but I tried offering my carpark ticket to people queing for the machine because it had a couple of hours left on it and the people looked at me like I was trying to mug them.

Yeah bro I was homeless myself, after 4 days on the street & being to proud to goto a hostel I asked a mate to put me up for a few days until I got sorted, he said yes and then he proceeds to go out with another friend, get pissed and not come back.. I was pretty pissed. But it worked out in that I got a council house out of it and got my head sorted.
31st January 2019 at 5:54 pm #45177I have done a few nice things for people but nothing of note but the nicest and meanest thing that someone has done for me almost the exact same time was when I was feeling mischevious and I sneaked out at night without my girlfriends knowledge to a Casino in Perú (a district I was warned to avoid). I knew it was a bad idea as I approached in the taxi, there were gangs in the whole street, a lot of them making no attempt to hide the fact they were armed. I had been in this district in the day and it looked sketchy but at night it was literally terrifying.
I got out and rushed in, played roulette and the slots for a few hours and left with a nice profit of 1800 soles. As I left and approached a taxi, out of nowhere I had a gun firmly pressed to my abdomen and I was told to give everything I have or I will be killed and of course I obliged and just like that all my money, my phone and my passport was gone.
The taxi driver rushed me into his mototaxi, obviously seen I was very shaken. He seen it all and I said my girlfriend was gonna kill me ?. He took me to a local restaurant and bought me a menú (a cheap meal consisting of a starter, main and a drink), he took me to the Police station and waited for me the whole time I was there to report my passport stolen so the embassy could provide emergency documents) and when I was done he drove me all the way back to the apartment.
The kindest thing about this was this guy barely made enough to survive day to day and provide for his family and he gave up his whole night of trying to earn money to help a stupid gringo and genuinely never expected any money it. He geninely done it from the heart but of course I told him to wait and I went and I woke up my missus for my bollocking and to borrow some money to give to this hero for helping me out. Ended up giving him 700 soles (£175).
