The Rosy Glow Thread

Lesley Hines · Post by **Lesley Hines** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 4:30 pm

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

I haven't met you in person yet but I always find you very cheery and unfailingly polite! And I enjoy your posts.

Merry Xmas!!

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.

Kirk is a really friendly guy, who always follows what his own mind tells him and is welcoming to other people, whoever they may be.

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

Charlie Reams · Post by **Charlie Reams** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 4:48 pm

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.

Charlie has a very nice duffel coat.

Phil Reynolds · Post by **Phil Reynolds** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 5:09 pm

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.

Alec Rivers · Post by **Alec Rivers** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 5:56 pm

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.

Lesley Hines · Post by **Lesley Hines** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 8:10 pm

Alec can be very witty and his posts often make me laugh. It was a pleasure meeting him recently

Also, if you haven't checked out his Countdown theme mix, do, as it's a peach!

James Robinson · Post by **James Robinson** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 8:47 pm

Lesley is just the most kindest, most loveliest and most thoughtful woman I know.
She is beauty personified.

*James blows kiss in appreciation* *James also requests Alec make some sort of smilie to symbloise this*

Matthew Green · Post by **Matthew Green** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 9:27 pm

James has got a nice fat cock.

James Doohan · Post by **James Doohan** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 9:31 pm

I'm delighted that Matthew has finally found someone that makes him happy

Matt Morrison · Post by **Matt Morrison** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 3:09 am

Like me, James Doohan came to this thread hoping for pictures of Rosy Glow. Unlike me, James Doohan didn't genuinely know someone called Rosy Box at school.

Jon Corby · Post by **Jon Corby** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 2:39 pm

Since obviously nobody else can find ANYTHING positive to say about MWM, I'll go.

I am envious of his facial hair growing abilities.

(I actually think he's a smashing bloke too.)

Charlie Reams · Post by **Charlie Reams** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 2:53 pm

Jon Corby is very good at Visual Basic.

Ian Dent · Post by **Ian Dent** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 2:54 pm

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.

Davy Affleck · Post by **Davy Affleck** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 2:55 pm

Charlie runs a good site.

Derek Hazell · Post by **Derek Hazell** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 3:00 pm

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.

Jon Corby · Post by **Jon Corby** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 3:25 pm

Derek is a nice guy and I'm glad he's started posting again.

Julie T · Post by **Julie T** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 3:51 pm

Jon Corby's posts are often very clever and amusing (dammit!

).

Ralph Gillions · Post by **Ralph Gillions** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 3:52 pm

Julie can do empathy.

Ian Dent · Post by **Ian Dent** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 3:53 pm

Ralph is my favourite Jeff Burgin fan.

Charlie Reams · Post by **Charlie Reams** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 4:01 pm

Ian looks better than me in rugby gear.

[I've had my turn so feel free to say something else nice about Ian.]

Matthew Green · Post by **Matthew Green** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 4:19 pm

Jason Larsen's posts are rarely in context.

Michael Wallace · Post by **Michael Wallace** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 5:19 pm

How does the this backwards thread work again?

Edit: THE THIS

Marc Meakin · Post by **Marc Meakin** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 5:31 pm

Time to Lock this muvva down.

Alec Rivers · Post by **Alec Rivers** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 5:54 pm

Marc is insightful and has a wicked* sense of humour.

* In a good way.

Kai Laddiman · Post by **Kai Laddiman** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 6:04 pm

Alec Rivers is very good at Visual Basic.

(And is awesome

)

Matthew Green · Post by **Matthew Green** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 7:41 pm

Kai is young

Eoin Monaghan · Post by **Eoin Monaghan** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 7:45 pm

Matthew's avatars and posts are always amusing and witty. (and rude!)

Ian Volante · Post by **Ian Volante** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 11:24 pm

Eoin is very enthusiastic. Oh to be young again!

Marc Meakin · Post by **Marc Meakin** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 11:28 pm

Ian is a Deer person, and popular at stag does.

Now that's what I call an oxymoron.

Lesley Hines · Post by **Lesley Hines** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 11:52 pm

We miss you Phil! (and Sue, wherever you are).

Charlie Reams · Post by **Charlie Reams** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 11:55 pm

FSVO "we". Lesley is smart, friendly and knows literally every nine letter word in the dictionary.

Andrew Herbertson · Post by **Andrew Herbertson** » Fri Dec 18, 2009 12:33 am

Charlie is mint he makes apterous work.

Liam Tiernan · Post by **Liam Tiernan** » Fri Dec 18, 2009 1:11 am

Andrew's total disregard for punctuation is strangely endearing.

Dinos Sfyris · Post by **Dinos Sfyris** » Sat Dec 19, 2009 2:55 pm

Liam seems like a cool guy and his forename and surname respectively anagram to MAIL TRANNIE.

Dinos doesn't really look like a girl, despite what Jeff seems to think.

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Tue Dec 29, 2009 10:23 pm

If Liam wanted to go out of his way and give me the surprise of my life, he would send me some mail.

That would be a coincidence.

Gavin Chipper · Post by **Gavin Chipper** » Tue Dec 29, 2009 10:30 pm

Jason makes some of the most entertaining posts on this forum.

Now that would be a coincidence, because Jason Cullen is also a Countdown fan!

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Tue Dec 29, 2009 10:48 pm

Would that be because Jason Cullen is also a Countdown fan?

Gavin Chipper · Post by **Gavin Chipper** » Wed Dec 30, 2009 7:28 pm

Jason, you were supposed to post something nice about me. Now this whole topic is ruined. Thread locked.

Lesley Hines · Post by **Lesley Hines** » Wed Dec 30, 2009 10:23 pm

Let me help then Gavin. Gavin is a nice bloke who only throws his toys out of the pram about really, really important things

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Wed Dec 30, 2009 11:24 pm

Lesley has a son Danny who is as cute as a button

Dinos Sfyris · Post by **Dinos Sfyris** » Thu Dec 31, 2009 6:44 pm

Jason's mom is one sweet lady!

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Thu Dec 31, 2009 9:03 pm

Dinos has to realize that he doesn't know her!

So not knowing your mom is a good thing about Dinos?

Okay then, Jason is a great person because he has never met any of us!

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 3:24 am

You can't assume anything without knowing it

Alec Rivers · Post by **Alec Rivers** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 1:31 pm

lol. That's exactly what 'assume' means - to believe something is true without knowing it to be so.

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 2:32 pm

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!

Ian Volante · Post by **Ian Volante** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 2:57 pm

I assume you've not looked at the definition?

Ralph Gillions · Post by **Ralph Gillions** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 3:13 pm

I assume things all the time.
Results in some disappointments, but it can be more fun.

Back to the topic:
Ian has a pleasing avatar.

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 3:19 pm

You like me, and I am happy about that, Ralph!

No, you don't, I was just using that as an example.

Thanks, but if they used it for the show, they'd scare 75% of the TV audience away.

Jason Larsen · Post by **Jason Larsen** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 10:01 pm

That's why it's good for what it is!

I'm glad Alec is no relation to Joan!
