The Rosy Glow Thread

Post by Lesley Hines »

Years ago, as a team building exercise at work, we had to do a 'Rosy Glow Sheet'. It's simple enough - all you do is write something nice about the person who posts above you. It made everyone feel valued and appreciated, and really helped the team gel.

There's an outrageously sentimental email story about someone who did something similar and then died, and it was produced at the funeral, blah blah blah. Please don't die, everyone posting here. I never want to be part of one of those emails.

Anyway, please write something really nice about the person posting above (sorry you've got to start with me but hopefully it'll take off after that). It'll be nice having to counteract all the recent animosity.

Thanks all, and before I forget, Happy Christmas :D

Karen is a lovely lady whose presence at CO-events is always welcomed. She always wants the best out of people and wants us boys to stop arguing.

Derek is a witty forumite and also seems quite humble, which is not a bad atribute.

Derek always means well and his hit-rate with successful jokes is probably at least as high as mine.

Edit: fuck, ninja'd. Marc has gone up a lot in my opinion lately, and often uses full stops correctly.

If the stills at the end of this are anything to go by, Andy has the most extraordinarily blue eyes. And even if they're enhanced, he's still a handsome guy.

Phil seems a sensitive, kind, and thoughtful guy. Once, when I was embroiled in a rather negative debate with some of the others on the forum, he went to the trouble of stepping in to put my mind at rest just when I needed it.

I am envious of his facial hair growing abilities.

When I play Jon Corby on Apterous, it pleases me to be up against such a successful man.

Edit - Beaten to it by Charlie, who despite being only one month older than me has created many more things.

I'll take on the pair of them then (ooh err), seeing as there's a sudden rush (which I am sure I can slow down to a halt again).

I don't know much about Ian Dent, but somebody told me he is wonderful, and when I have occasionally been on Apterous he has seemed quite amusing.

Davy is very loyal to his colleagues, so good to have around when they're under pressure.

Actually, you can't assume something if you have no knowledge of the subject matter.

But, I do know that you, Alec, did a great remix of the Countdiwn theme song! It hasn't been used on the show though. They didn't Carey-fi it that much!
