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.

Ruu_Old

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.

Lust4Life

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

pclancy

Playing gigs in a lil pub in Kilkenny called Ryans where every single person is up dancing and going mad by the end of the night-classic every time!

Pride of getting me first car when i was 19

Id agree with the post way above about the whole when a girl first melts in your arms thing, its an amazing feeling!

User45701

Ive never understood these conversations, i don't like them because they depress me because remembering amazing times only reminds you that you are not having amazing times now.

Is that normal to think like that? i know im not normal and all that but i am wondering does anyone else here think like that because im not a big fan of reminising

The Lido chipper in Dun laoghaire? Only messing.
Nice memories.

ScumLord

La Tomatina!

Getting robbed by a hooker in Prague but then getting my phone back from her with an apology.

Seeing an English guy get smacked in the mouth by a hooker in Amsterdam for acting like an ass.

I don't spend allot of time around hookers, honestly.

Getting press passes for ******** then winning 5 free VIP passes.

You cannot appreciate a good memory/time if you haven't gone through sh!tty ones too.

Moving in to a house at 20 with my greatest love, just the two of us.

Little-Devil

My Greatest Memory was when I was lying on the couch with my X who had fallen asleep and realizing that i was in love for the first time in my life

Saddest Memory, Her leaving the country to go home and breaking my heart at the same time

CathyMoran

Meeting my fiancee for the first time.

Mum surving her first 24 hours after being told that she was going to die after a brain haemorrage (she is still alive).

All the time that I have spent with my beloved father, I love him.

Good times with my family (including my gorgeous fiancee).

Being told that my tumor had shrunk and had not spread.

Seeing the Eifel Tower for the first time with my father and mother.

Seeing Florence for the first time from a hilltop on the outskirts.

Flying, I adore it.

Meeting my beautiful dog for the first time, he walked around my leg and I totally fell in love with him.

Meeting my cousins baby recently, he is gorgeous.

Sparky

Surviving getting run over by a car when I was 13.

Flying a plane by myself.

Meeting partyboy. (He's actually quite a calm person when not in public)

Various other stuffs not mentioning on a public forum.

Not the greatest memory of my life but up there for sure;

I was cycling in the All Ireland Championships up in Newtown Ards doing a criterium (it is basically a short race commonly held in town centers.. this one was a lap of 0.7km that we had to do about 12 of)

Anyways, there was about 30 of us in there and the race begins; with the usual 10 or so in the front, few in the middle, and the rest at the end. I was in the middle group cycling around the course (there was this really hard piece with a steep hill going into a sharp right hand turn.. if you weren't quick enough you would've slammed into the divider at the end). All throughout the race there was this eejit that wouldn't get off my back wheel. He just stuck there for ages. The laps continued and still he stayed on there. Eventually I heard the fog horn indicating the last lap so I got down on to the drops of the handlebars, put my arse in the air and pushed as hard as I could, leaving the guy in the dust.

It was the greatest moment as there was a big enough group of people there all of which were cheering for me. I had one or two people coming up to me asking why I just didn't want to overtake the lead, I just told them I was having too much fun.
