This Is A Real Hero

[FrogNog]

It is heartwarming to see an act of kindness carried out without the need to bask in the glow of publicity and applause afterwards.
What a lovely story.

Is it?

[Psybbo]

What a hero, lovely uplifting story, thank you Frog.

[FrogNog]

Yes I think so.
Don't you?

[FrogNog]

Thanks Psybbo. It made me smile

[Psybbo]

Mick Talbot, you are so cynical!

[Svejk]

///So who was the mystery man? We contacted Argos to request an interview, but with no luck. The company tells us he does not want to be named because he is a "shy guy", who wants his act of goodwill to remain anonymous.///
And anyway, we sacked him.

[-Talbot-]

Me cynical....pah!



btw have you donated to the 'lets get the M25 hero some money' page on just giving yet?

[FrogNog]

See? This is why we need stories like this.
We're getting a bit jaded and cynical. Look at a tree Svejk.Go on, have a proper look.
They're really pretty.

[ummmm]

I think he was very brave...

[Svejk]

I know a bit about trees. I chopped a few down.

[-Talbot-]

Yeah go on, svejk look at the tree, no hug it...you know you want to.

[Psybbo]

Svejk, you too! This is the best kind of publicity Argos has ever had!

[237SJ]

Call me cynical but I don`t really see why anyone who performs a good act should do it in a blaze of publicity anyway. I was driving along the road with a friend when a young girl in front of us turned her car over while taking a bend to fast. We stopped, got her out of the vehicle while another mystery girl who turned up from nowhere started directing the traffic. The three of us co-ordinated the whole situation until the girl`s mother and the police arrived. It was strange because we turned around and the mystery traffic director had disappeared without even a word. None of us expected thanks. You don`t do it for the thanks.

[FrogNog]

Shaddap Tabot. Who asked you anyway you auld cynic. :p

[FrogNog]

Exactly, 237SJ.
That's why it's nice to hear about it, without having to hear from him

[Mamyalynne]

There are many Knights of the road - well done that man!

[-Talbot-]

If it was someone in a Fiat Panda..hero...40 tonne lorry not so much.


BTW
Where has TWR been today? ...mmmmmmm?

[Psybbo]

I think not only was he very brave but obviously thought it was the decent thing to do. An unsung hero like 237sj and the traffic director

[FrogNog]

No divebuddy it shouldn't be and that's why this time it's nice because social media tried to make it huge and the driver just shrugged his shoulders and said well that's what you do. Leave me out of it.
