What was your favourite age?

zuutroy

I reckon 23 was the best age (for me anyway). A nice balance between having feck all responsibilities and freedom aplenty. I'm 28 next month, and these days its all health insurance/ ikea/ work and crap like that.
So what was your favourite age to be, and how long ago was it!

Crucifix

The age of aquarius.

slipss

had to have been 14, I did a lot of things for the first time that year, first time I did e, coke, heroin, speed, meth, had sex, went to a celtic match, went to an Ireland match, went to a man utd match, went to croke park, went on a holiday abroad and first time I got an A in an exam, and first time I beat a charge. Good year.

Either when I was in 6th year (17) or now (20).

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

Plug

18(now) so i can go out and have a good time with all my fellow polish workers.

tman

Last year was pretty goddamn sweet, so I'd say 23-24
18-19 was pretty cool as well, moving out of home and living with 2 good friends in Galway... good times!:p

bluto63

The stone age. Good times...

Damn you.
I was gonna be all clever and say "Ice".

Mine would probably be now. I'm happier now than I've ever been.

Tar.Aldarion

18 or 20.

Ruu_Old

Most of my secondary school years so lets say 15-17.

Overheal

I miss being 14: finding out about smoking crippie in my brother's backyard with all his friends; having all the band equipment in the basement and having people just rocking out all the time: and nobody worried a drop about what was going to happen next, that was the defining feature for me.

So your sig says 'you'd be pissed off if you were me' because...?

Bondage

So Glad

About now, playing in bands all the time, having a larf.

Years 1 - 4 probably, just a pity I can't remember them. Year with the best memories would probably be the current period 18-21. Graduate, work, get married: It's just got to be all downhill from here.

I never said I was happy now. I said that I'm a happier now that I have ever been. If you think I'm pissed off now, you should have seen me last year.

Overheal

Does that have anything to do with your name being Terry but everyone just assuming youre a woman cos of the sig??? Im confused....

Haven't a Clue

SHE'S A HE?

Bloody hell...

Terry

people think I'm a woman?
Tar.Aldarion all over again.
I just like looking at Nina Persson.

Some people thought I was a he for a while.
Hello, the first four letters of my name are Tara.
Sheesh.

Terry

How's the career going?

Tar.Aldarion

My last TV appearance was on BBC at the end of last month, just working on some new songs at the moment.
I must plug boards next time I am on the Late Late.

rsynnott

My current age, so far (21). I've got lots of friends (I never had friends before college, really; I was too weird), I'm not longer fat, I'm no longer prone to lapsing into depression.

copacetic

17-18 for me. we didn't know we were born. sigh.

brianthebard

I'm still waiting for a "good age". I'm hoping I can emigrate for a few years after college, I have high hopes for those years.

What makes you think it'll be better somewhere else? You'll know few people, be stuck paying bills, rent etc.

MonkeyWrench

For me it would have been between the ages of 20-22. I was in college enjoying the lifestyle and didn't have much of a care in the world. In late twenties now and looking forward to the wisdom the forthcoming years will bring.....:D

Cause it'll be fresh and new and exciting. I know it sounds romantic and naive, cause it is, but it'll be an adventure. Too many people live safe lives these days. It'll probably happen me too eventually. So I might as well see what I can do flying by the seat of my pants!

Alter-Ego

17, definitely 17. I'm only 18 now though so we'll see what happens.

Yeah, well like everything it'll have its positives and negatives. For years I swore that I'd leave the country first chance I got and that life would be amazingly better than here (though I was enjoying my time here as it was), I'll still emigrate at some point for a while, but I've a more realistic view on it now.

I agree, there's no utopia awaiting me in the Pacific or anything, I just want to try something new for a while.

JustCoz

Still waiting.....

Nightwish

I think half of 1997 (14) was pretty good for me - full of teenage angst, still innocent to the madness and badness of the world and my life revolved around the green, and Supermacs.

Red Hand

1993 was the best year of my childhood, even if I do remember it with rose-tinted glasses.

As an adult, well, this last year has had so many downs but many great memories, too.

Haven't a Clue

I've high hopes for this year. Yeah, the first 6 months're gonna be a bitch with the leaving, but the summer should be class. Then I'm hopefully gonna be heading to the big smoke and actually have cinemas, niteclubs and all that craic on me doorstep...

Yes, I'm aware I'm probably being a bit naive about city life...

For a while there, even you seemed to think you were a he.

Glad you're feeling yourself again!

Goodshape

So far I'd say 16/17 was good for me. 23 now.

I_and_I

9 for me, never lived anywhere as relaxed as the midlands since. Spent a lot of time urinating on electric fences, playing on that giant oak tree in Charleville Castle grounds and getting chased by bulls. Great times!! Ah I almost forgot that was the year I got that really snazzy denim jacket that I never took off.

simu

The age of innocence, sigh.

As in, repeatedly? I figure once would be enough to learn that lesson!:)

DublinWriter

For me it would have had to have been back in 1990 when I was 20...one of the hottest summers on record...Italia 90...olè olè olè...jumpers for goalposts...just blagged my first IT job...got accepted into TCD as a night-student...had first serious gf...was playing regular paying gigs in a covers band...

And it was all downhill from then ever since!

Having said that, I still would have liked to have been born 10 years later as the 70's/80's were pretty grim times to grow up in this country.

Dave!

I was going to say "the Age of Reason", but all you smart-arses came in and ruined my joke....... f*ckers.........

I'm happier and having more fun now than ever, so I'll say 18-19.

Miguel_Sanchez

24/25 was pretty damn good. I really enjoyed living in Galway.

Schlemm

6 was pretty good......I even had a Winnie the Pooh book called 'Now We Are 6', which celebrated how great it is to be 6. I even remember thinking about this when I was about 7 or 8, thinking that if I died and went to heaven, I'd love to be 6......pretty happy now tho!

MayMay

17-21 was all good. Went downhill from there. Would love to be 17 again.

angeldelight

19 for me... had some pretty tough months but I also met somebody absolutely amazing who I adore...

humbert

I really loved 19 too, great age. Had the best month of my life when i was 14 but it was an oasis in a desert of utter crap so 19 it is.
