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?

A bit of a serious oneBack in the mid-1980s when I was in my late teens my elder brother got in with a bad crowd. He moved into a squat in Cricklewood with some Art College buddies, one of who was a dealer. Within six months he was chasing the dragon - not a particularly good idea for a motor-bike courier. One of the scariest half hours of my life was getting a lift back to his place after Sunday lunch at my folks on the back of his bike when he hadn't had a fix for a few hours - yes, he was in a hurry.
So, hats off to his then girlfriend, (who later came out as a lesbian, but that's irrelevant) who babysat him in her room for three days while he went cold turkey. He's done plenty of stupid things since then, but thankfully, never went back to smack.
That was a nice thing to do, and I'm very grateful.
