    How's the form lads? I like hearing about nice things. I love reading about feel good stories or watching video's about the good in humanity. Whats the nicest thing you have ever seen or experienced? It could be a random bit of kindness from a stranger, a clip from a movie that made you feel on top of the world, maybe someone unexpected that does something totally out of character. Positive uplifting stuff...shur f**k it why not!?

    I gave my coat to a homeless person once.
    It was bloody bitter out, they only had a thin jacket on. Mine was a "puffa" longish coat(not expensive but newish)so I gave it away.
    I new I could hop on the bus and be home in no time, they were stuck out there.
    Seemed the least I could do!!

    I rescued a kitten from a burning building. I probably should have saved the child (RIP) but I have difficulty prioritising.

    I wrongly entered my pin code at am atm in circular quay not long after arriving in Sydney from Perth, ATM swallowed my card whole at 11 pm, leaving me cashless in a strange city, and no means of getting a bed for the night in a hostel.

    Some random woman behind me, noticing my obvious distress asked if all was ok, and when I explained what had just happened, reached into her purse and handed me $200 to keep me going until the banks opened.

    I asked for her address/phone number etc, so as I could repay her but she was having none of it,v exclaiming that she hoped if her own son was in similar circumstances someone would do that for him to.

    God bless you, kind Aussie lady! :)

    A friend of mine was out drinking one night and on the way home noticed a homeless lad nestling down in a doorway for the night, which was a freezing cold night, so he says to him, "here come with me like, you can stay on my couch", needless to say the housemates werent overly impressed when they found him asleep on the couch in the morning.

    I was in London for a weekend watching the rugby league cup final about 20 years ago. There was a group of us who had made the trip down south, and somehow I ended up drinking in some club with a bloke called Dougie, who I'd only met the day before. We were walking past Queensway tube station at about 2am and there was this young black lad sat huddled up in the doorway with his rucksack. Dougie went over to talk to him. Turned out the lad had ran away from home after falling out with his mum and dad, and intended "starting a new life in London". He was 17. Dougie asked where he lived and how much the train to London had cost him, went into his wallet and gave the money to go home, about thirty quid.

    He told him that when he was 16, him and his brother had done the same thing, and a stranger had given them the money to go home. He was returning the favour, as London was no place for a 17 year old lad from Leicester to be, especially with nowhere to stay. The lad seemed really grateful and promised to get the first train home next morning.


    Also, a prostitute overheard the conversation and offered Dougie a freebie for being so kind. He never took her up on the offer.


    So, two kind gestures. Though she could have offered me the freebie, the bitch. i was 18 and horny, she was fit and free, dammit.

    Went to nyc a couple of years ago for a week with d missus. Lost my wallet in a cab the second day. The cabbie found it in the back of his cab about 4 hours later when he got to new jersey for his weekend off, he promptly got back on a train and met me at ground zero and handed me it back with $1,500 still tucked into it. Couldnt believe it still cant
