The nicest thing someone's ever done for meIn amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.
In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.
Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

Thank you Sheffield Fish ManThinking about it, I've met more random strangers that have been nice and helpful than random strangers who've been twats. (And I'm male and ugly so that's not it either)
I digress.
Picture the scene: I'm in Sheffield on a quest to find X-Men 238. Where I want to be is the Sheffield Space Centre. Where I am is...lost.
In desperation I resort to asking random passers-by if they've heard of it. Most hadn't.
Then this black gentleman happens to wander past and overhears my plight. Not only has he heard of the Sheffield Space Centre but he will collect his car then give me a lift.
By my reckoning he took me about three miles across the city centre and dropped me off right outside.
Why "Fish Man"?
That would be the Christian fish symbol in the back window of his car. Clearly a guy who paid attention to the whole "Be nice to people" part of Christ's teachings.
(Not a Christian BTW, but I do try and remember that they're not all mentalists.)

Urg.....Lousy issue - Inferno - with dreadful art. Get 165-175 instead, best issues ever. Smith being the only artist to reign in Claremont's propensity for needless dialogue. Try reading it with a Captain Kirk voice. Oh, sorry - just noticed that this is B3TA.....
