Top top fella.

A builder offerd me a labouring job when I worked in a local builders merchant 7 years ago did'nt take it straight away but got sacked a few weeks later for not turning up on a saturday morning, anyway turned up on his door step cap in hand with a 2 week old baby daughter at home and a mortgage to pay, "that job still going I says "yes he says start tomorrow . He ended up getting me a little van,company credit card(no thrills or expenses tho) mobile phone. Gave me a 200 sheets bonus at crimbo,bought the heating system for my house and let me pay it of weekly.then started to teach me carpentry and took me from a low paid worker with no skills base to some one with prospects and a decent future in the building industry, I have actually lost track of the good turns this person has done for me.

 

So my conclusion,

if you can find them or they find you there are some decent people in this world.

sound a good man look after him

 

Yeah top guy,I try

I think i've been lucky and consider quite a lot of folk to have done me a good turn. Including some very random ones.

 

Firstly, there has been a lot of folk from here that have invited me on their land, and given me some good hunting, just for the sake of meeting up and going for a walk out together, i've met some really top blokes to be honest.

 

A member on here sent me a stop net he made free of charge. I have never met him.

 

Johnnyboy has helped me out lots of times.

 

And there have been some random ones from total strangers over the years, mostly in other countries. Including -

 

I was in a train station in Serbia in the earlier hours of the morning just swopping trains and didnt have time to find a working atm as they were all f****d near the station, without any local currency i wasnt getting on the traiin, a young guy from nottingham, saw me trying to figure something out, and came and gave me the money, and shoved me on the train.

 

Was in Budapest, in hungary, asked a guy in the street for directions after walking lost for ages after i had arived by train, he couldnt explain, so stopped what he was doing, marched me in the right direction to a bus stop, gave me a ticket, put me on the right bus, and told the driver where to let me off, i didnt even get his name.

 

Was walking through a small bosnian town, talking to a girl, in english, this lad walked past and said hey, then ended up inviting us back to his dads house, where his old man cooked us a massive dinner, got us drunk, we stayed there for a couple of days, listening to the old mans storys (like a bosnian rambo), got taken round the local area, and when we were leaving it was raining and the old man literally tried to give the girl the shirt off his back. They then organised for their cousin to meet us at a village further along and do pretty much the same. On that occaision, we ended up at the house of one of the cousins friends, and they insisted we had their bed, while they slept on the sofa, took us fishing the next day, and cooked us a massive fish feast and got us drunk.

 

A similar one, walking through the mountains in slovakia, and got really lost, ended up miles out of my route, stumbled into a small village to try to buy some food, to last me the over night journey back to my house, asked an old lady, and she took me home, fed me, fed the dog, gave me cake, and ordered her husband t take me back through the mountains to my house, which was miles, in the dark, and then he had to walk home alone.

 

Been picked up by loads of folk hitch hiking, and ended up having random adventures, going to partys and staying with folk for days.

 

I could go on. . . .

 

You're lucky you didn't walk onto the set of 'Hostel'

Ive had a couple of very important " good turns " done over the years by very good friends for which my loyalty to them in return will never be in doubt......

As for the old " mistaking kindness for weakness " thing ive also been shafted on that score many times sadly and its not nice !.....Reading a few views of folk on here it amazes me the front some folk have......even on here there are people who will take kindness for weakness,only for the fact im a nice chap did i not make a bigger thing of it and instead went with the " you must need the money more than me " attitude........hopefully they will be reading this knowing they didnt have one over on me like they thought......i just let it go

Id like to think ive done good turns for folk but its something you should only hear when you,ve done one and only speak when you,ve recieved one in my opinion.

This girl wasn't pregnant and you were looking for an Inn to stay by any chance?........

Done loads of good turns for people. Apart from helping them out, also makes you feel that wee bit better about yourself.

[the_stig 6,614]

if you count family my grandad --- some of the best advice i`ll ever get ... i broke my coller bone and could`nt work being a subbie pylon painting no work no pay -- a mate turned up with a pick up truck full of logs, 2 bags of dog food , a sack of spuds, rabbits,pheasant, and a few joints of beef for the freezer -- i thought you could use these he said..when i was back on me feet i put 100 notes in his hand he gave it me back almost insulted that i`d offered up ..

[GrCh 856]

i donate to the homless so also doing my bit to help tb25 out.

[Irish Lurcher 1,013]

Good few lads off the site done me good turns, but to name a few,, alan626 fixed the car few times free of charge, richie fitted windows in the attic free of charge, macker gave me some really good dogs free of charge, I could go on and on,, its always good to recieve a good turn, but its better to return it...

[top hat 127]

iv paid gambling debts for friends in trouble ,iv given lads places to stay and i sorted out a few problems for them ,but its nothing i wouldn expect from any of my mates either

[trappa 518]

Problem in this life is some people think kindness is your a soft touch , so be carefull who you do a favour

Ye, I lent a lad from on here a trap for pigeons. Cost me £70 and ive never heard from him since and that was 2 year ago. Ah well, money well spent as i would have lent him anything he wanted prior.

Lol

[trappa 518]

Ha...maybe!

I lent my mate who was an alcoholic £200 to pay his mortgage as he was going to get threw out by the building society. He blew the lot on drink and still got chucked out! so im careful who i lend money to now. The poor fecker is dead now,drank himself to death and im £200 poorer and i learnt a lesson there!

 

If you remember fishfish he did me a good turn, even though many on here didnt like him. He sent me some raspberry plants, paid for the postage too and i never got round to repaying the favour which im a bit gutted about. So did john the lad who wrote the trap book on here, cant remember exactly what he did for me tbh but i owe him a favour too i think.
