Greatest moment of your life?

Kalashnikov_Kid

Twickenham, March 6th, 2004

When Dempsey crossed the line and the sheer euphoria and madness after the final whistle from us Irish fans who were lucky enough to be present at such a memorable occasion

Twas a great moment to be Irish, unforgettable

Greatest moments of my life probably:

Saving someone from drowning
Being thanked for working with severly (mentally) disabled people (By the people themselves)

And on a more greedy note:
Getting my latest powerboat (RIB), a total flyer!

Ah c'mon Kalashnikov_Kid, hopefully your very young(as in 4 or 5)because if the above quantifies as the bestest thing to have happened in YOUR life then you're in trouble buddy. Surely theres been something that you've done over the years that have made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

Pigheads bestest moment came when he won the Louth Indoor Bowls Open back in 92 . Actually Kalashnikov perhaps yours isn't so bad after all buddy.

I'm 18, so give me a chance here! Indeed, in many ways, I'm still a Kid.

The night of my first ever music gig would be up there too. The natural high you get on stage from winning a crowd over is quite hard to beat. But for me Twickenham stands out more in the memory.

I'm only 19 dude, did the volunteering with the disabled kids when I was 16... You'd wanna get some good stuff on your conscience soon, you never know when youll get hit by a bus!

Forget the good stuff, if your at risk of getting hit by a bus you need to go out and do the bad stuff

A contender would have to be Total Enjoyment winning the last race at Cheltenham in 2004, I had told everyone about it. All of my friends and family had alot of money on, and we cleaned the bookies out. Watching the bookies count out 1600 euro in 50s was very nice.

Another contender would have to be Packie Bonner's save in the 1990 world cup. Who could forget that!

What I meant was that I could hardly say it was when I got married, when child was born etc.


Nevermind good or bad stuff, just live life like there'll be no tomorrow

On the other side of things I worked 12 hour days during my secondary school summers! Its worth it now though

-Edit- I'd be sad saying that this post, being my 1000th post was a great moment... so lets just say nothing more of it

Dave Rogers sensational volley - 4th August 2004. I have very little imagination but that one sticks out.

Your definition of special is quite different to mine, my dear.... I am a different kind of special... ask anyone!! Well, anyone on Boards who knows me.

being born was a good moment I suppose, without that the rest might not have followed

I would be rich if I could write a book on "just live life like there'll be no tomorrow"

I'm 20 I don't see life like having happy days and praying i'm goin to heaven, but hey now I'm going nuts, I imagine your still in school thinking how good life is wait till out in the big BAD BAD world. Wake up and smell the grass.

Loosing my virginity! Oh, come on, somebody had to say it!

Close call between that and hearing the amazing sound of a Ferrari V12 Formula 1 engine screaming around Mondello Park back in 2001. Dutchman Klaus Zwart was racing in the EuroBOSS round (a series for privately owned ex-F1 cars) in the last Ferrari Formula 1 car ever built that was powered by the legendary V12 engine. The sheer scream out of it was unbe-f**king-lievable! Any other petrolheads here who've ever heard one at a Grand Prix or whatever years ago will know exactly what I'm talking about. Pure automotive aural erotica!

I did make a brief reference to orgams.. but i wasnt about to point out my first time if there wasnt fireworks

The first time being on stage and everyone screaming and clapping and cheering. The Buzz was like no other, better than any drug, I was on a buzz for hours afterwards. Pity it seems to wear off after a while though

Why is it that when I read that I had an image of "herself" standing just behind him at the cmputer holding a rolling pin and menacingly snarling "You know what to type, Lorax, don't you...... dear!"

Lorax: "*sigh* - Yes, dear!"

Was I the only one to picture that in my mind?

Lorax

Greatest moment? not too sure but here's one of my most memorable ones.

New Years Eve, Vicar St, Damien Rice Gig, On Stage at the stroke of midnight and leading a drum beat on djembe that everyone starts dancing too.
I'm the guy in black in the middle.

NineMoons

The first time we said we loved each other. Almost six years ago now and it's been said a couple of thousand times since but the memory still makes me smile.

And then there was October 7th 2000 in the Big Top in Punchestown when two of us started singing Happy Birthday to Thom Yorke and it spread through the whole crowd. That was pretty damn fantastic too.

And Packie saving Daniel Timofte's goal.

And my fifteenth birthday, when I got my cat.(RIP)

Nightwish

The births of my kids were very special and almost sacred moments.

When a song of mine made it into the TOP-5 of the VH-1 charts comes close.

spiderlegs

Getting my first violin...I was so happy.
Going to the pixies standing in the crowd and having Miss Kim Deal lookin' at me!!!
Holding my cousin and watching her as she opened her eyes when she was only an 'ickle baba.
Raising the Irish flag as the sun rose up over some hill when I was twelve on scout camp...that made me feel damn special.

xzanti

Not taking my first E anyway :rolleyes: If that was the highlight of my life so far Id feel well sh*t... But thats a whole nother topic..

Best moment/s of my life so far???

Seeing my newborn Neice for the first time.. Learning to drive.. Passing exams.. Leaving the nest and getting my own place
