I do my raoks all the time, looking for people who need directions, things carrying, telling people they look lovely are my standard (impoverished) repertoire.

Today, someone who I don't really know but who I chat to occasionally on twitter (normally about our mutual disgust at the thing that is Olly Murs and his thighs), was moaning about her painful shoes. She works just up the road from me, so I dropped a pack of compeed in at reception for her.

She was chuffed to bits. It was quite nice that.

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is to high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

Never look down on someone unless you're helping them up.

Nice one Hannah!

Feet are precious things!

I missed K7 because of my feet.....

I'd imagine she enjoyed the sense of humour more than the actual compeed! I love it!

She's been tweeting about my awesomeness all afternoon. Sod altruism, being nice feels nice.

that's a great raok. reading that just made me smile.

today, i tipped for some good service and put the work kettle on after i used it to ensure the next person wouldn't have to wait so long for it to boil. it's a slow kettle.

Hannah knows that now because it's past American Thanksgiving, that Santa's paying closer attention. :lol:

By the way, Hannah, are we going to be able to hear you on the radio (or online) at all soon? Enjoyed it very much when I did...

Aww Douglas. I'll let you know next time but I don't know when it'll be!!
