    My life is pretty dull and boring at the moment - its seems to be all work and no play and I was thinking - whats the most exciting thing that has ever happened to other people ?
    Maybe something that came out of the blue ? Or just a generally exciting time in your life.

    Falling in love in the college library when i was 19. I watched him every night for weeks and then he asked me out. Felt like fireworks when he smiled at me. It was amazing. It was 9 years ago. I'm not a stalker BTW! :)

    I was at a do in the Leinster House,all kinds of bigwigs there.Gave a presentation on air transport in the 2020's which was very well received.
    Plenty of fillet steak, red wine, onions,pepper sauce, french fries and rich
    dessert followed by brandy/port all of which The Flutt ingested with much aplomb.

    Down to the jacks and unloaded the sweetest smoothest darkest well shaped turd of my life,nothing but net... bam gone.... pull the handle.swoooooccccch
    gone but not forgotten....

    Very sweet moment in my life.Good plumbing is hard to find.

    Being voted to a position by 1598 people was kinda cool. Not sure if I'd call it exciting though.

    As far as heart-beating-quickly-ness is concerned, probably when I went to a rave in some random quarry in Kildare a few years ago. Myself and my mate were drinking outside Harcourt St. Garda Station (classy, I know!) when we got the call that it was on, so we hopped in a taxi and made our way there. Getting home was another story.

    Actually Don, that is known as the mile I club.

    For my own part, I once had a threesome with a stripper and a gymnast :D

    I know. :D And I took pictures :D

    Why pay for a Taxi when the guards can give you a lift there, since they would be going there as well!:eek: They could give you a lift home too or at best B&B at tax payers expense with personal service included. :rolleyes:

    Similar to mine :) except it was somebody I worked with. We're still together now, but that whole period was an amazing time in my life.

    Sounds silly, but tons of crazy **** has happened to me.

    One particular story sticks out in my mind, but it's not something which should be repeated on After Hours!

    PS I'm 29, so I prob have a head start over most posters here...

    Could these stories be related or is it just my conspiracy theorist side acting up again....???

    Nothing exciting ever happens to me.

    1988 - My first time under fire. By the end of the tour we'd five lads killed, the excitement died too.

    1992 - Being present at the birth of my son.

    1995 - Being present at the birth of my daughter.

    2007 - Febuary. The view of Manhattan from the Taxi first time I visited NYC.

    Aaaaw best thing ever! I was 8yrs old....in Disneyland Paris with my family, amazing scorcher of a day...breeze through the hair...packed park mid-june/july....parade had just begun in the castle....sipping on my ice cream watchin mickey n mini n donald n co stroll by...then! boom! Two girls come up to me and ask me to come into the parade alongside mickey n mini (out of thousands of others...me!) now, been 8 I thought this was like meeting Bill Clinton or watever! Aaaaw the memories as I was dressed up as a clown n chased the spectators with fairy dust....good times...

    Another one...Semi-Final of an All Ireland Basketball Tournament... 2 points down with 9 seconds to go....we thought our dreams were shattered then once again boom! From the 3 pointer line I throw that baby into the air n score! Aw what a feeling as I stood there listening to the 3 second count down....got us to the All-Ireland--Final..not many can say that.... ;)

    The best tho would defo have to be teaching handicapped orphans in Vietnam...savage! :D
