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 knight in shady boozerLate one Friday night, drunk and much younger than now, I was walking home from the tube to my cruddy rented flat in North London. This took me down a couple of rough roads and a particularly shady boozer. No more than a minute away from home, 4 teenaged dickwits decided it would be a good way to round off a night of solvent abuse by rolling a young guy out on his own.
"Gis yer money,fuckin' batty boy."
1, I could possibly take, 2 at a real push, but 4? I like my nose only broken once, thank you. Following the path of least resistance, I was preparing to hand over my wallet and possibly take a couple of cheap shots when out of the shady boozer down the road came my saviour, an unlikely looking shortarse in a green jumper. He had been watching the little shits outside for a while and decided to even up the odds a little.
"Need a hand mate?" he asked.
"Err..might do." I replied, trying not to sound like I felt, i.e. absolutely sodding terrified.
Naturally, only being twice as many of them as there were of 'us' the ratboys were out of there like a simile out of a metaphor. Green Jumper then took me to the pub, bought me a pint and even went out to check that the fuckwads had gone before letting me leave.
Man in Green Jumper, for saving me from a mugging, I salute you.
