Moments in time you will never forget

keithsfleet

As the title says. Something that will stay with you till the day you die.

My dad telling me he was still my dad but that he wouldn't be around anymore and that he was moving to South America to be with a woman he had met.

First time ever downloading porn.
The wait that felt like an eternity for it to slowly download line by line down the screen and constantly freaked my mum would walk in.

The time my mum found porno mags I had hidden in the sleeve of Michael Jacksons Bad vinyl.

Waking up in a hotel room, at a wedding, to my then girlfriend riding a bloke in a bed across from me.
That hurt.

Learning to drive.

Many more but they are the most memorable, what have you got?

Jasus, reading that back it makes me out to be a right depressed cnut.
I'm not, I'm always smiling on the inside and outside.

So because he may not be from Manchester hes not allowed to have that moment in his life no?

What about all the people stating 9/11? Do they have to have some connection with the event or be an American so that they may not forget that moment?

Sometimes, I feel film, when done well, can provide some amazing, heart-stopping moments.

Seeing Terminator 2 when I was all of 10 years of age was unforgettable. What an incredible film.

Also sitting through and watching 'Irreversible' on my own was pretty shocking.

Film can also paint really grim pictures of the reality of some things like death. There is another French film called 'ne dis a personne' (Tell No One). It has a scene in it which hit me like a tonne of bricks - an incredible scene really that highlights the ignominy of death.

My first holy communion as it was the most money I ever got in a day. 640 pounds!!!

Watching my first film in the cinema which was Batman.

My first ****. Discovered it by accident but by god i never forget the terror as i didn't know what that wet stuff squirting out of my dick was. Thought it was blood and that it was gonna be embarrassing having to get medical attention and explain what happened!

First time drinking. Downed a naggin of vodka at 14 before a teenage disco. Was well and truly covered in puke that night.

Losing my virginity to a one night stand in Belfast. Well i shat myself when i sneaked out of the house and saw loyalist murals everywhere. Even tried to put on a Northern Irish accent when hailing a cab back to the hotel

Man Utd winning the Champions League in 1999.

Snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef and ****ting myself at seeing reef sharks

Being told i was going to be a dad and holding my son for the first time.

Narrowly avoiding getting crushed by a truck and ending up in a ditch instead without a scratch to myself and my car.

My son being born - I was on my own, when I was told to push, I asked the nurse where is everybody? and she said ' its not like the movies love just me and you'

My mother sitting me down to tell me a neighbour had just passed away - my mam had taken care of her while she had cancer

My Dad leaving, his funeral six years later, his funeral and my step dad allowing my mam to mourn her dead husband on his shoulder - respect earned there

the moment i saw my now partner for the first time and our first date - year later

The afternoon of 9/11, and the days after it.

It might seem far fetched right now, but it was such a historically game changing event it was not beyond the realms of possibility that Ireland could find itself in a World War. Conscription almost did not seem far fetched, after what had happened anything was possible.

I can't think of anything more severely impact from a personal standpoint. Which is probably a good thing seeing as those mentioned in the OP are pretty miserable!

I was taking my first lesson of the day at a flying school in Texas. I was trying to get my flight hours for my pilots license. Twas cheaper in US. The call came in over radio that all flights were grounded. At first I was fuming cos it was costly and I could not get home. Then I was worried I would be intervieweid as a foreigner learning to fly cos the Americans got really weird and suspicious and nationalistic.
Never imagined being conscripted though!

First day of school. Only child on his first day away from Mammy, wasnt happy!

Going to Dublin Zoo to see an animatronic dinosaur exhibition. Was in awe.

In a friends house in the mid 90s watching him hook up his computer to the phone line "to go on the internet"

5 minutes later there were pictures of truly amazing things slowly loading on the screen!

I still remember that silent spare room, us watching out for his mother and the noise of that old crackling harddrive!

Last night of the summer of 95, I was 15 and my friends english cousin gave me a very memorable going away present. She told everyone I was a great kisser and I was the fúcking man for a couple of weeks

The night me and a lad from school (both 16 at the time) left the nice warm pub we were in and nipped across the road, into a field on a freezing winter night and crouched under a tree to smoke some dope that he'd managed to get. Rock n Roll :rolleyes:

First day of college. Nervous / excited.
First big night out in college, waking up the next morning in a flat not knowing who owned it or how I got there.

TheFarrier

all the usual stuff, first kiss, first ride, seeing the 9/11 aftermath on tv after school.

Then theres being demented drunk in the passenger seat of a car (piloted by another drunk lad) that flipped 4 times, with no seatbelt on, car landed right way up, got the fudge out of there fairly lively to avoid meeting the owners of the house we'd crashed outside, before parking up drinking cans and doing drugs off the dash to cool the jets a bit, this one sticks in my mind more than anything else, can't believe how dumb and lucky we both were. Heart racing at the mere thought of it!!! *shudders*

NUTLEY BOY

Turning 10 and seeing a dead person for the first time ever.

[Deleted User]

The first time I saw Jurrassic Park ..I was jumping around in the seat with the tension, taken out of my little world and into a world of big dinosaurs and abject terror. I was obsessed after that movie.

Being very worried for my granny, and telling her not to be sad because I was going to mind her until my grandad wasn't dead any more.

The look of pride on my mothers face at my graduations.

9/11

Amerika

Organizing a blood drive for the local hospital that was designated to handle the overflow of causalities from the 9/11 terror attack in NYC, and later calling the hospital for further instructions on what to do and was told… "Thanks for your efforts but there’s no need... There are no survivors."

And on a lighter note... The time George Harrison gave me the finger after a concert.

The morning my grandad died, never ever forget the phone ringing in the house and the sound of my mams screams. Then going to see him as he was lying in bed and how cold he was.

Holding my 4 month old nephew one night and he was sick his eyes were rolling back in his head and the care doc said it was a viral infection, I was woken up by my dad the next morning to be told he had had a seizure and was in hospital, it turned out he had meningitis. He was very sick and stayed in hospital for a few weeks. He is a very happy healthy 9 year old now.

The day I found out I was pregnant, scary!

The day my daughter was born! Absolutely amazing and terrifyingly fantastic day.

Another that will go down in history is sending her off to school this morning. No bother to her! And getting a facebook mail off one of the other parents this evening, praising her because when their child got upset my daughter put her arm around her and gave her some of her animal magnet toys and made her stop crying, never been so proud!

Arriving in the US on my own, in 2002, at age 22, to meet a girl id met online. Bonus ****-yer-bricks factor as it was my first time going anywhere on my own and now im standing in the middle of Louisiana Airport without so much as a mobile phone to my name or a phone number to call

Driving down highways that seemed to stretch as far as the horizon with an ex-gf in Washington State

Emptying a fully loaded AK47 into a forest...take that, trees.

Being at a strip club in LA and having a fully naked stripper jump off the catwalk and wrap her legs around my neck

Fun times

That wasnt a strip club near a well known L.A Casino was it?

God, so many things have happened in our lifetimes I wouldn't know where to begin:

Watching the Berlin Wall being torn down.
Nelson Mandela being released.
For some reason, I remember the first Space Shuttle landing and it taking ages for anyone to come out, I wanted them to jump out and dance about!
Sept. 11, for all the wrong reasons.
For some reason, the attack on the two soldiers at the funeral in NI really sticks in my mind as particularly bad, even for NI.

Personally:
Giving a speech at my sister's wedding (father had passed away) was one of the scariest, but greatest things I've ever done. I don't think she was expecting much as I'm a fairly quiet, shy guy normally, but I didn't want to leave her down so made an effort to think up a simple, honest speech. And memorised it rather than reading it off. I'd swear it was 50-50 if my legs would hold when I stood up in front of 250 people to start speaking but once I got the first words out I knew I'd fly it. One of the ladies present offered me the pick of her 4 daughters afterwards (never had a 4-daughterer before, my best offer previously was a 1-daughterer). Kinda puts you on cloud nine when you tackle your fear like that.

Sports:
Munster - too many moments to mention.
Grand Slam 2009
Ire v Australia QF in Lansdowne, even if we didn't win.
Ray Houghton, Ronnie Whelan, nuff said.
For some reason, Jason McAteer's goal v Netherlands in Lansdowne. We were hanging on for dear life for a draw, then a player sent off. That's it we're finished. Then out of the blue we score. Place went fuppin' mental. Best part was an old guy sitting on a high stool in front of me tipped over, but rather than step off he rode it down to the floor celebrating all the way. Legend.
