Give someone a compliment today, and every day.

[Jack]

I was at a Festival thingy over the weekend and an American pointed out how bad we were, particularly in Scotland, at giving and accepting compliments.

There's been a lot of uncomplimentary to-ing and fro-ing on the boards recently and I suspect we are no different to life out there in the real world.

So to make life as a Hibby, and for those around us more pleasant, can I suggest we all compliment someone today and every day; someone on here; your partner; your children; a friend; someone at Hibs. When someone gives you a compliment accept it graciously with a ‘thank you’ and without feeling it needs to be turned round in some form of self deprecation.

No need to say what you’ve done on this thread, maybe just a wee happy smilie showing you have done your bit to brighten up someone's day.

Two very thoughtful posts, if I may say so

Some say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but you elevate it to new heights.

Respect.

It's got to be sincere though. Any suggestion of sarcasm can get you into more trouble than if you'd just said nothing.

I think Kiefer Sutherland was excellent as Athos in the Three Musketeers, and I really feel like saying it.

You can extend this to other parts of your life too e.g., driving. I often let people in in front of me when I am in slow moving traffic and I am sure they appreciate it just as much as when someone does the same for me. It gets my goat when I am waiting to pull out of a side-street into stop-go traffic and some punter slowly rolls to a stop right in front of me when all they needed to do was stop about 15' farther back. So I try and get my daily dose of karma when I am behind the wheel.

Lothian Buses are always very clean. I want to compliment the people who make sure this happens, as I have always taken it for granted.

[Gatecrasher]

i think its so kind of my co-workers not to say anything when i fall asleep at work :agree:

I love Jambos and nothing makes my day more than seeing them dressed head-to-toe in their nice, shiny maroon sporting leisurewear, singing their colourful songs in support of their team.

I'd like to compliment the two guys who lent me their tyre wrench in Gifford today. Had it not been for them there is no way I could have changed my tyre!:thumbsup:

[matty_f]

I'd like to thank the f***er that burst their tyre in Gifford for holding the traffic up and making me late for some urgent surgery and that.:greengrin

There was a tailback stretching the length of the Co-Op, I expect to be in the East Lothian Courier this week (if it's been slow for news I might even get my own colour supplement). :agree:

Tell that to Lou Reed, he could do with the encouragement.
