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.

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.

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

SmilingLurker · 02-03-2013 08:46PM

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.

Best life experience
