That was in 2004. Way to hold a grudge.

3 times. Holy ****!

High: Getting a pay rise in work and finally liking the job!

Low. Going to the funeral of a very old friend who died suddenly at 24. Been stuck in stansted for all of my birthday. Crappy!

Squirrel

Yeah, 3 times. Once mid-January, that kept me out till Easter, I trained for 2 weeks around easter and I did it again. That kept me out for another good while, and then again around mid-September. Recovering from that and I've had 2 chest infections since, and I nearly broke my ankle during the summer, was quite an injured year

You should have said:
Low: Seeing Bush beat Kerry. And then Tyrone doing the same.

2005 was another mediocre year, nothing exceptional happened either way. And it went by so fast.

Off topic I know but how did you do it?

My sporting low this year was spraining my ankle playing soccer and was out for a while with it. It still hurts when it is cold!

Scraggs

High: most of the year really! turning 18, leaving cert, college, work

Lows: having to watch someone really close to me suffer for months in pain while they were riddled with cancer and nothing could be done about it:(

tj-music.com

High - Song on my CD making it into the TOP 5 of VH-1s song of the year (announced in January), plenty of airplay Statesside and in IE. Landing a job in Radio

Low - CD still didn´t make the impact I was hoping for, gained over 5 kgs this year (very hard to battle), my old Dog got put down in January

Never the less: Life is good, it is a gift and I am enjoying it.

Methinks you need to drink more milk! Seriousy though that's a rough break! When I was in school I broke my ankle twice and it was horrible! Breaking bones in your legs is the worst coz you can't do anything!

Back on topic:

Low - Katrina! Was in NYC at the time. What a tragedy!

KTRIC

High point: Getting 6 Numbers in the Lotto back in July

Low: Realising at 1:30 on Saturday afternoon that the hot girl I was talking to in the club at 1:30 Friday night asking if I had condoms wasn't looking for somewherer to purchase them.


Yeah, spending time with some family members was a high point for me this year too. Always nice to do that.

Endurance Man

High - Spending the Last week with my brother , havent seen each other much this year, made the most of it.

Low - Well a few things but the first thing that popped into my head was watching all the suffering around the world, what with all the "natural" disasters. We are screwing up our world tbh .

monument

Repeated impact caused stress fractures, kept running, very painful, then the weakened bone fractured properly. I came back too soon, and it was still too weak the second time, the third was probably a combination of the 2.

On topic, another high was my brother being home for Christmas, also my granny dying, she had been very sick for a good while so she stopped suffering when she died and I'm glad of that
