I met a guy earlier called Martin, who's a lawyer in Vienna.
He'd be regular #1 in the pub I used work in, and years ago gave me huge help when I was having trouble with a landlord, and he wouldn't let me pay.
At that stage I'd pretty much dropped out of college, and I was so jealous of the life he was living. He used always order a steak sandwich, which was one of the things we weren't allowed have as a staff meal. One evening anyway I went to the chef myself and asked could I have a steak sandwich, and he gave me one. I sat down eating it and decided I was going to call UCC the next day and see if they'd let me finish my degree. They moved heaven and earth to make it happen, and now I have my degree, and a Masters on top of it.
So to meet this guy again was amazing. I owe him an awful lot and he has no idea.
