Yeah that would be up there for me too... Great feeling

Also holidays I'v been on, living with my bf and the times we've had together... I'm still only young so I'd imagine the best times of my life are yet to come - having babies, getting married etc...

I think when my son was born, and amazing experience which I never plan to do ever again! Amazing but never again

probably when i was 6 and my mother told me to go out to the front door because there was a present there for me. it was a big bicycle. i was ****ing delighted. it all went downhill after that.

Sleepy

Great idea for a thread. I can think of a few moments and most of them are incredibly simple:

1. Returning to the apartment an ex and I had rented in Paris after picking up freshly baked croissants from the market on the street below to her smiling at me with a freshly brewed pot of coffee.

2. Kissing the same ex for the first time and experiencing what it feels like to have someone literally go weak at the knees in your arms.

3. Walking across Eyre Square with one of my best friends as the sun was rising the morning after the first time we'd stayed out all night and talking about how this was what college was going to be like. (I was right )

I know and im only skinny, I was trying hard to beat my friends record of 4. Which I then DEMOLISHED. It was a good day.

Cant think of any other great memories...

Sitting in an F15E Strike Eagle, then being ( standing ) at the end of the runway very close watching as the pilot put her into "Military Power" and the Afterburners lit up and saw that sumbitch blast down the Runway! Wow.

Lust4Life

Getting up on stage and singing for the first time and watching the crowd's positive reactions.
Fecking PRICELESS!

Seeing and being there for my two kids births. Simply amazing watching another human being in which you helped create born into this world. I cried more than the kids did.

My eldest son who will be 4 soon, coming up to me for no apparent reason, sitting on my lap, looking straight into my eyes and telling me I am the best daddy in the world and I love you.

Watching my 8 month old daughter exploring her surroundings. I would watch her for hours, exploring, finding destructing… fantastic.

Being in South Africa, Cape Town to be exact. For anyone who has been there, its simply breath taking… Some of my fondest memories are from my time down there.

My first trip back home to Dublin since I moved away. It two years now. It was so very special to land in Dublin Airport and to here all the accent again. Meeting my family at the airport, which I will be doing again this Coming March.

Buying my first house here in Florida… A special achievement I might add.

I have some many, but my kids firsts, which there are a lot, I will cherish for ever.

See my family and friends for the first time in over a year in November.

^Buying a house as well, and not so bad considering I am just over a year in the US. Things have been turning up Ruu for the last while.

What part of the US you in RUU?

Ruu_Old

Boring Illinois.

Ruu, how could you find it boring knowing you are a 4 hour drive away from me? Hee hee!

The birth of my son.

The first time I stepped foot in Ireland.

A full moon shining through a penthouse window in Dublin.

A full moon shining over a ruin in Portlaoise.

The night the Red Sox won the World series in 2004 awesome moment! I cried!

Mushy

So many little things for me, but Im only young so Im quite sure many morei mportant ones are coming for me.

Seeing many favourite musicians/bands. The ones who just seem so perfectly professional in everything they do. eg. QOTSA and Alice in Chains

This one is more general now. Seeing Tipp vs. Kilkenny a few years back. Dj Careys return to hurling. Cant say I was pleased with the result, Im a Tipp fan, but that match symbolised everything that was right with that sport.

Building a full massive LEGO space shuttle and control centre in one day I was about 8, and it took me all day. I even nearly fell asleep and crushed it, thats how much I wanted to finish it

Staring into the eyes of someone that ya really like, and knowing they feel the same. Hell, it may not last, but at the time, its great

Dave!

You're bringing a tear to my eye dude

ehh... my favourite memory was when I smashed a pint over some smart-arse's head! :mad: </manly>

I can't think of any outstanding memories

Black Swan

The first encore.

admiralofthefleet

losing my cherry to a cracker i had been chasing for ages when i was 17 is my greatest memory and cleaning out a bookie in leopardstown one night a few years ago also ranks high

frobisher

I was present in the room when my son was born. It felt like there exists a huge wave of love that is circling the planet and for that moment it was my turn to have my every molecule washed over by it. Corny maybe, but it's exactly how it felt. Amazing.

Pappa-eat-peach

I'd really have to come back in a few years to answer that. It seems the sort of thing that you would think of on your deathbed.

Most people here would be pretty young and so their memory will change.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Its overpowering.

Watching my daughter at age 16 months spend the day trying to stand and walk after 7 months in a body cast. What a fantastic relief and joy that was.

Siting on a rooftop with my honey on the Lido, looking back over Venise, watching the sunset with a bottle of red.

Spending 5 days in bed over the Christmas
