    Apart from all the obvious stuff like health, family & friends, income etc, its a tricky one, but for me its probably the oppourtunity for international travel. i.e hols. or cars or great music or electric blankets in winter. Argh, the list is endless.

    Any other thoughts?

    Travel is a good one, lucky I got the opportunity a few years ago. A decent mug of tea for me. *sips*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 668 ✭✭✭karen3212


    I was going to say tea, but cause it's been taken already, I'll say the internet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    A the risk of bringing this into the gutter, but I'll say for me its making love to the person you truely love more than anything in the world.

    Other than that, for me its Judo. I've a huge passion for it, nothing makes me feel more alive than either training or fighting Judo.

    The answer to your question...is your own question...without the ? mark.

    If your thoughts determine how happy or unhappy are you..what could be better than having happy thoughts all the time?:D

    A nice stroll on a sunny Sunday morning to get the paper's nice.

    Akin to Mairt, nothing beats waking up next to your lover. Runners up for me are skiing, travel and philosophical talks.

    Would you not prefer to shoot your own load Terry?.

    Rhiannon14/Mairts suggestion at No. 1 with Terry's suggestion coming in a nose behind in second place.

    Exploring unspoiled patches of Earth - I particularly enjoy Lough Derg, but theres a lot of cool spots in the backwater areas of Clare too.

    Also: not waking up alone.

    Just pulled an all nighter and have finished my uni written assignments, so now, at 5AM in OC the best thing in life is that glass of white zin I am sipping, and that pillow that calls to me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭cazzy


    A nice cuppa tea and warm bath with essential oils and candles

    Vegging and knowing that you don't have anything to do! And that you can enjoy doing nothing!...rarely happens!


  • Posts: 5,869 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Waking up, the morning after the morning you wake up with a hangover. i.e. get pished on Friday, spend all day Sat'day in ribbons, then wake up on Sunday and feel normal again. Smashing!!!


  • Posts: 16,720 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Waking up on Saturday thinking you've to get up for work, but then remembering that it's the weekend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    waking up early on a Sunday, thinking it's Monday, then upon realising it's Sunday, you turn over to the cold side of the pillow.

    since this whole waking thing is done a lot i'll throw another one in.


    knowing that no one likes you. it's great.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,429 ✭✭✭✭star-pants


    kisses... i LOVE kisses...
    sleeping next to someone you're crazy about rocks too...

    when your alarm goes off and then you realise its a day you don't HAVE to be up.

    long HOT showers on a cold day

    the look on someones face when you do something /get something that just makes their day

    baby laughter

    comedy

    hand written letters

    watching / listening to the sea

    smell of baking


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,136 ✭✭✭✭is_that_so


    "The smell of Napalm in the morning" :D

    The smell of fresh bread and the sun coming up on an empty beach.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Good one Cremo, I really like the cold side of the pillow especially when you are hungover.

    What is best in life?

    To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

    Can't beleive no one wrote that yet. For shame nerds, for shame.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,263 ✭✭✭Varkov


    When you've been rotton sick for days, then you wake up one morning feeling normal.

    Today is that day my friends.

    The question posed was "The best thing in life...Your thoughts?"

    Had the question been "The best thing in your life", then my answer would have been "Shooting my load"
    However, that was not the case. Given the context of the question posed, my reply was gramatically correct.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    Aaah.. |To walk into a nice warm shítter "ready to pop" and dump Meatloaf's Daughter into the pot.

    Plenty of Kittensoft at the elbow, nice sink, with soft towells (to buff the nipsy)

    Up with the jocks an' strides and into a nice hostelry for a pint of super cold Beck's.

    Aaaaah pleasure indeed!!!

    I love it when it's so cold and dark you can barely stand but you're walking down the street in a huge coat, hat, scarf and whatever, and all the Christmas lights are up and that god-awful Christmas music is playing while you're getting last bits of shopping done.. I don't know why I just love it..

    Also, again, cold, dark winter evening just sitting on the couch with a big blanket, drinking hot chocolate with just the christmas tree lights on.

    I'm festive, me. :)

    Racing cars, holidays, big machines that can break things and weed. I would have said all drugs but all the rest have rotten hangovers and there's no wait involved with weed. Take a drag, your stoned, it's just a lovely drug.
