People you most admire
« on: July 17, 2007, 09:54:07 PM »
Bit of a tricky one this, but we're always (except me of course) rattlin' on about how bloody awful he/she/they are.
Thought I'd turn this one on it's head and ask the question...WHO do you most admire on how they conduct themselves, give to society and are generally a decent sort that we are proud to know?
Hasn't got to be anyone particulary in the public eye, it can be your flamin' postman if you want.

This guy:



Sir Tom Hunter has to be worth a mention surely?

Full story here

Highlight:

Quote from: The Daily Mail (again)
A businessman has announced plans to give at least ?1billion to charity.

Sir Tom Hunter, a 46-year-old Scot, said it will take the rest of his life to hand over the money.

Worthy of some applause I'd say!

Yes, I just saw the end of this story last night, and IF he comes up with the dosh, he's to be applauded.
Not a publicity stunt i hope to further his business interests?
 God I'm SO damned cynical. ::)



Wonder if I should send him a letter congtatulating him on his generosity, FULL name, address, postcode and telephone numbers supplied of course? rubschin:

our local street sweeper, I only know him as Nigel, but he's up and down this road everyday, no matter what the weather. I even gave him a cup of beans and a sausage last winter whistle:

The man who found my mobile phone at the station and then drove 45 mins out of his way at 11pm to get it back to me. No idea who he was but he restored my faith in human nature.

Nah. He could probably smell your perfume on it and thought he'd be rewarded with a bit of..... "would you like to come in for a coffee"? eyes:

Shame you opened the door really I suppose, and shattered his dreams. scared:
