Just wondered about compliments and stuff, whats the nicest, sweetest thing anyone has ever said to you or about you.
My best mate, the other day told me I was the star in her sky which was really lovely. We were having a heart to heart about her almost going abck to an ex who didnt like me because I was a swinger (some of you may remember my thread)
and someone on here (who shall remain nameless) said one of the nicest things Ive heard, and called me the "paracetamol" of the forum, which made me smile from ear to ear. I thought it was a fantastic compliment and one I will remember always.
'oh, you're still breathing then?'
and I realised I was... it came as quite a relief

In a similar vein to Pk's ...I was once on holiday on a greek island catching a beer at a roadside taverna ...a couple of lads about 8-10yrs old and their dad were having a kick about on an adjacent piece of grass. I invited myself and my mate to join them and we had a good hours fun of competitive football. Quietly replenishing the fluid levels sat at the bar after and one of the lads came up to me and said ...my dad and I reckon your Kenny Dalgleish cos your so good at football and you look like him( no I don't lol )if you are can I have your autograph....I felt ten feet tall .lol
More recently I have helped a friend and work colleague battle thro some emotional turmoil...one night after trading txts trying to cheer her up she sent one that said ..I've never ever had a friend like you. Considering this lady has a social network bigger than faceparty ,,,it really touched me
Thank you.......................
seems such a little word, but when said with meaning makes you feel that you have done something special............
Theres been a few things for me,
Asha saying I love you, would be one of them, but another of many that stick in my mind was when i was in Liverpool in 1998.
I had taken a play there called 'Waiting For HILLSBOROUGH' before I did the play I had never even seen a football game on television, let alone been to watch a real match.
After the show one night, some guy came up to me with his girlfriend and asked if I was the writer/director. I told him I was thinking he was going to have a go, being the play was such a sensitive subject. He then shook my hand and told me how impressed he was with the show, and said 'It must have been difficult for you, to have written that, what pen were you in? I was in pen four' I then went onto explain to him that I was not actually at the match and had no connection to it. But he gave me a wink and a nudge and said 'I understand mate, I find it hard to talk about myself and this is your way of expressing that' and told him 'No really I wasn't there...' he patted me on the back and just said don't worry mate, you don't need to explain, congratulated me on doing a good job and went about on his merry way.
It was a weird compliment, but it made me feel very proud of what I had done. The play went onto win an award, which I had to collect in front of 3000 people.
recently i was working to support ex service man who had suffered a stroke. he was living with the disabilities due to this in a area he hated on such a low income it was pathetic.
i ensured he got all entitlements owing to him and pushed the local housing to find accommodation in the area he knew.
when he was handed the keys he turned and said, " these keys are not just to my new home but are going to open up the access to life again, thankyou"
this is a massive thing as the guy also has aphasia, so to communicate this was huge.
it reinforces why im in this job.
personally everytime my daughters say i love you, actually even when they say i hate you, cuse it kinda shows im being a mum and have mum rules lol
xx fem xx
It means a lot to me when I get messages from a patient's family saying thank you. I certainly don't expect thanks as I'm just doing my job but for someone to take time out from their grief to write to me makes my job all the more worthwhile.
GUess it was the rare moment (should have recorded it mind) when my daughter (17 years old) said 'Thanks for being a good mum. Yes, we have argued like every girl and her mum and some but you always are there for me without judgement and I love you for Mum, am proud of you, for everything you have went through and are still there for me, my son and others, thanks mum'
I still get lump in my throat when I think of her sayin it. Though I tend to forget the 20 quid she asked to 'borrow' about 15 minutes later pmsl.............
And everyday I have the pleasure to tell her how proud I am of her for being her and giving me such a beautiful grandson.
