Best life experience

What's your best experience. Me, going to London is up there, and carefree days down in Rosslare as a kid.

When the midwife said "he's the image of you" and handed him to me.

Risking to sound very cheesy indeed, my wedding day.
Definitely the best, followed by the time I spent doing an internship in Montreal, and followed by the day my mother told me she was leaving my father.

Very happy days, all of them.

Walking out of my hotel into a warm dark evening in Phnom Penh and just being overwhelmed how different it was to anywhere I'd ever been before and the following transition from 'oh god, oh god, I'm going to die here' to feeling comfortable and free.

Yeah, rub it in for all us single, childless bastards.

Having my baby. Can't wait for the second one to arrive.

I'm not old enough to have had any amazing 'experiences' yet, but going to Ireland on my own over the last two summers led to some great nights/days.

When I was about 8 or 9, I won a competition on T4. Me and my family were given an all expenses paid weekend in London, put up in a 5* Hotel, and went on the London Eye with Liberty X (who were big at the time). I still have great memories of that trip.

We get it, your wife is watching you type

Last Wednesday after years and years of trying I managed to open a Muller yoghurt with the skin still intact. Was a great day.

Positive: Bobsleighing in Latvia. The most exhilirating, scary experience. You watch it on the Olympics or watch Cool Runnings and think this will be so much fun..... then the G-force hits your body, you feel like your breast bone is about to snap, your spine feels like it's about to crack and your praying you get to the other end!! Thankfully i had an Olympic medalist in the driving seat At the bottom the sheer relief and buzz was overwhelming.

Negative: Being homeless for a few days in London and having to be helped by an Irish charity in Camden Town. A dose of humility is good for the soul.

Don't you worry, don't you worry, child. We are all children of the earth.

Jumping out of a plane was an amazing experience.

steddyeddy

Exracting DNA from one lifeform and using it to change another. I realised then I could make an impact on the world.

Walking in the Mourne mountains, walking in Tollymore forest, walking along Newcastle beach, then sitting down to a nice dinner and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. The simple things, they're my best life experiences.

Another one; doing absolutely nothing and feeling good about it.

Driving through the Yukon and British Columbia northwards towards Alaska. Highlight being driving on a road that ran the same course as a river and seeing a grizzly bear out trying to catch fish. It was truly an amazing sight.

Going to Oktoberfest for the first time. It was everything and more that I expected. Been going back ever since. I was wowed.:eek:

Getting a life saving transplant, beats anything I have done, or experienced.

In Holles Street, holding my daughter for the first time, with my wife. Every positive emotion all at once, completely overwhelming.

First handjob, it was a great experience

My best life experience has to be my wedding day. Everything was wonderful,exciting and a bit scary. As we were walking up to the reception venue from the car, a school tour of french students were passing and they stopped to clap and cheer us.:)

2nd best experience was the very first time, when after a year of trying to tame a feral kitten he jumped up on my lap and purred. The transformation from a terrified little cat who lived outdoors on his wits to a happy cat who would sleep in a nice snug cat bed all safe and snuggly was fantastic.

I'd have to include that one, especially getting 99s in Lamberts and collecting pebbles from the beach for my Gran. Between 14 grandkids doing this, her house was full of jars of pebbles :pac:

Driving through the Sierra Nevada was pretty fantastic, as was travelling to the Alps for a ski trip.

Falling in love is pretty awesome too, cheesy as it sounds. You feel like nothing can hurt you again.

The birth of my son...the process was a horrific experience so to see him come through it safely, and just hold him after it was a great experience, also gained even bigger respect for my OH after witnessing it.

Second one is due in a few months so looking forward to experiencing it again, hopefully without the stress.

The best is yet to come!



(I lie. It was getting out of me wheelie bin for the first time).

Working in children's homes in Ecuador and Bolivia and delivering drinking water and vaccinations and medicine to families living in a landfill in Portoviejo in Ecuador. Kinda makes you appreciate how lucky we are in Ireland. and knowing the work I was doing was making a positive effect on peoples lives was awesome.

going to sound stereo-typical but liverpool coming back against ac milan in 2005 champions league final , I was in final year of college in swansea after a very hard few years personally and it showed me that sometimes if you keep going against all odd you can win

df1985

A holiday in the states with my parents in 2003. My dad passed away while still on the holiday in San Francisco, but I cherish that time up until that point. he said he always wanted to see the grand canyon before he died, he did, but we never would of believed he'd pass away a few days later.

Realising when I made what I thought was a simple mistake when I was a young fella, ended up designing my entire concept of how I would treat people in my life.

Falling in love and being in love, someone to truly understand you, accept you enthrall you.

Getting married.

Realising I was working for a bunch of tossers and changing direction.

First sha...

The whole of the time I spent in the Air Training Corps as a kid and young guy.

I couldn't just have one

Being there for the birth of my nephew - amazing

Road trip in Canada traveled the Rockies Banff being the most memorable (I can't wait to get back!)

My father was extremely ill last year we weren't sure he'd make it to my sisters wedding it was his first trip to Vancouver Island & likely his last but he managed to get over & walk her down the aisle in the most beautiful of settings! In his speech he mentioned that though she was so far away & he missed her deeply that he took great joy that she had left in island to live on another island - I am so proud of him

My Best Friends have seen me at my worst & at my best - beautiful people whom I have shared so much with & will continue to do so

The list is endless I just hope I continue to have amazing best experiences!

Good for me, bad for my parents trying to use the bathroom in our family home for the next three years though.

Deffo a couple of hours after childbirth.

For someone who had never used drugs of any kind before (not even alcohol), that oxytocin is some powerful siht! :eek::D
