Colin Farrell: I think I'll change a life today

[mikea]

Four years ago... A radio babe offered $2,000 to anyone who could bring Colin Farrell (sigh!) down to the station.

Farrell grabbed the first rubby he saw and, bingo, Stress was $2,000 richer.

"Jump in," Farrell says at the reunion Tuesday.

I wish I'd been a fly in that Audi. Down to Front St. they cruise, to Europe Bound Travel Outfitters.

"Get him anything he wants," says Farrell, in that commanding Irish tone. He wears jeans and a black muscle shirt.

Women staffers swoon. And not just over the bill, which comes to $2,100.

..

"The homeless guy was going around, grabbing stuff." Stress talks fast, hence the nickname.

"Whatever he needs," Farrell says again.

...

Yes, Stress will be the best-dressed beggar in Yorkville this winter.

But hold on to your baseball cap. There's more Stress relief.

"Where's the nearest bank machine," Farrell asks Mott.

He returns with a wad of $20s. AND, he arranges to pay a year's rent on a nice room for Stress back up Bloor St.

I love random acts of kindness. They help make up for road rage.

whew, at first I thought it was you "sigh!"ing over Colin.

I loved it when he was on "Dinner for Five." I went around talking with his Irish accent, "I told the girls I was from foo*'in Dublin...."
