    I was thinking about some of the nice things people have said to me and done for me over the years. I'd love to hear some of yours.

    My work and gettting my crew to do certain tasks has been commented on to my boss by certain people in the event management business. Good reports have come when I'm present or away from the meeting.

    Ahhh... Then I got a pay rise :D

    OK. I'll tell you two. The other day the CEO of my company told me that I was "grossly underpaid" :D I'll be getting a substantial raise soon. And also being told recently that I am "loved for being me." :)

    When I lost my dad a few years back a friend of mine, who owns a salon, treated me to a day of pampering, i.e hair cut, facial, massage, manicure, pedicure...the works :)

    mine would probably be this.

    I was at the dinner table with my family a few years ago when I finished eating my meal and said something like 'Gee Im getting so fat' as i looked at my bulging belly.

    To which my then 7 year old daughter walked over, sat on my knee and stroked my cheek and said 'It doesnt matter how big you get as long as we still have your beautiful face'.

    It bought a tear to the eye. I think what she meant was something along the lines of 'as long as your still alive' type of thing. A gorgeous moment.

    I kind of doubt that as I'm a woman ;)

    the nicest thing anybody ever said to me was "Thank you" something simple however it was all in the timing


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 331 ✭✭EWheelChair


    "Oh my ****ing god, its HUGE"

    You'd think id get bored of hearing it..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭cance

    at the moment, I would have to say the nicest thing anyone ever said to me was "ok, you can relax now, you've passed" and it was said to me an hour ago by my driving tester.:)

    Congrats...I did it years ago and it's still the best day of my life so far (sad, I know).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,562 ✭✭✭connundrum


    Tbh once agreed with me.. that was nice :p

    Apart from that.. my missus told me that I look athletic - was chuffed with that and didn't need another compliment for weeks :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,485 ✭✭✭✭Ickle Magoo


    I think:

    "I want to spend the rest of my life with you, will you marry me" has to come tops...:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam

    Can't think of anything.

    "bite the back of my balls":D


    Really the nicest thing somebody has said to me in the last few days, there's been a few..

    "i think sandy your a little bit crazy", by a co-worker
    " have you lost weight", by my massage therapist, and
    "i love you"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,896 ✭✭✭fish-head


    After a gig my old band played at a party, I was talking to the birthday girl's mum who explained to me that they were either going to get a band or get wine, she decided after we played that we 'were much better value than wine'.

    Brilliant!

    I was once voted my marriable man in my old job over 100 women voted on this, I always remind my mrs this when she forgets how lucky she is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 837 ✭✭✭Beetlebum


    On my 18th birthday my folks let me throw a party in the house. I was a huge Queen fan at the time. Anyway, as the night wore on I was wondering why my best mate hadn't given me my present yet. We'd been mates for years and always got each other something. I went upstairs at one stage and when I came back down my best friend was standing in the middle of the room holding a big bunch of flowers with 'Best Friend' by Queen playing in the background.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,322 ✭✭✭Maccattack


    what was the present?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,350 ✭✭✭Lust4Life


    OMG! I get to say it!

    The nicest thing anyone has said to me lately is....

    Yore Ma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was just on the sky news website. The boss of Enron says "Its not my fault." The world is "Eating itself" according to naturalists. A woman got refused the right to take care of her baby because she smoked. (cigarettes, outside, away from the baby, and has since given up entirely) US forces in Iraq accidentally killed 4 firemen whilst patrolling. AND Madonna isn't dead yet.
    In the context of today, the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me is "Live fast, die young, and always remember, your life is not worth a **** in a **** storm."

    Back when Pighead and Sarky were best friends he used to often call me a Mongoloid. It was a kind of pet name which was a reference to the fact that I had quite an outstandingly large brain. Those days are well gone however. Nowadays its cretin this and egotistical that. Where did it all go wrong.

    A doctor friend telling me that I inspired him to be a vegetarian and without me as an example he could not have done it.
    My dear saying that she was lucky to have me and that I am so much more than looks. Awwww.

    this might sound weird but here goes..
    i worked as a camera man on a rally tv show over the summer and i told a good friend who i fanced for a while.. but i wouldent of though she would of watched it as it was about cars and all that.. but then one night we went out in town she told me that she watched it.. and that it was a good show..
    all my shyness went out the window and ended up with her then that night..

    it was somthing small.. but it ment that shed do something for me even if she dident like it.. i think it has meaning anyway

    I think for me the number one thing is when my boyfriend said a few weeks ago "I'm proud of you". Wasn't in relation to anything in particular and it just made me feel brilliant!

    "Your a ride"

    My manager - (in relation to a piece of code i worked out) "thank you, thank you, thank you"
