    Nobody knows why but essentially memories of day to day events essentially get wiped clean at around that age but there are obviously exceptions.

    A kind of dairy reboot?

    Pigheads first memory is of him and his sister sitting in the garden as little baba four and five year olds. Pighead spotted two wasps entwined (possibly making love) on top of his sisters mop of brown hair and suddenly an excitement and giddyness ran through his whole body.

    "Copy me, copy me, little sister" said Pighead whilst slapping his hand on his head. She dutifully obliged and before you could say "Fcuking hell" she was rolling around the grass bawling her eyes out clutching her badly stung hand. That's actually Pigheads sister first ever memory as well. Great times.

    I can remember things from when I was about 2 or 3. Very vaguely though.

    I can't believe someone doesn't remember anything before they were 9.

    Where you in some kind of accident?

    Well that explains the jumbo bag of cola bottles you had at the weekend. And your recent subscription to Mature MILF Monthly. *shudder*

    We have a 'thanks' button, but we really need a 'fail' button for responses that aren't exactly funny :pac:

    Not many memories, can't remember first day of school, earliest memory is of going to the cinema to see bambi, crying all the way through it, not just at the film but at the the shock of everything being so big and loud. It was a big leap from our wooden (more brown plastic) encased telly at home to the cinema, must actually verify this story with my mother.

    I also remeber a lad in my class at primary school, who was fully grown at the age of seven, hands like shovels. At my first communion, my dad didn't go up to communion (prayed to a different dude), and this lad - sitting behind me- picked up my end of the pew so dad and I went sliding down it (probably only a couple of inches, but at seven it felt like miles). remember my dad laughing with me all during the mass at "hulk hogan" behind us.
    Happy days.

    If anything will trigger a childhood memory, it'll be this picture.

    Holy ****balls batman, you may have just triggered my earliest memory I used to have that EXACT set and I use to put random things in the lift and wheel it up and down all day.

    What an exciting childhood I had... :D

    No accident. Not that I'm aware of , or not that anybody has told me about!

    I remember the first time I wrote my name clearly on a bit of paper with a red pen. I was three years old. :eek:
    Strange but one of my earliest memories I still remember.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭Prof.Badass
