I remember once i was in my mates van coming back from work,busting for a crap,holding it in ,the releif when i finally got home and laid down a massive log,i will never forget.

does this means the best thing happened to you in your life is a big load of turd???

it just sort of sticks in my mind,the hard fought battle to prevent it escaping before i reached the facilities.

When I got married in Bangkok four years ago, after being with my wife for five years.

As Winston Churchill once said " you have won life lotto when you are born White and British" I won that lotto

The last one also refers to me.

Just yesterday, EASTER, I paid an ice cream for 14 men/lady, building a construction opposite where I stay.

The smile on their lips, but most of all the real smile in their eyes made my Easter day to a happy day.

Overall, I remember only the nice days in my life, and try to forget the bad ones.

For me, the best things happen in my life so far are:

Being brought up by a fantastic Mother

Meeting and marrying my wife

Having a great Son

Everything else that comes along is just a bonus...

Buying a Few Properties in ''London'' a few years back and not selling it, and watching the Prices go up and up and UP...

1985. Everton 2 Qpr 0. We won the league that day.

Oh aye, my son as well. And my wife.

Winning a gold medal in the world masters games.

Cant say children as i dont have any

For me;

I was born.

To bring enlightenment to this world as the sunshine comes out of my ass.

for you- not for the entire mankind...

Silence is a source of great strength.

Lao Tzu

I got nothing !!!!

Absolutely nothing yet would be my most honest answer lol. Probably being alive still and off drugs 12 years

For me;

I was born.

To bring enlightenment to this world as the sunshine comes out of my ass.

You're full of more $ hit than a Christmas turkey Costas.......I say that in the nicest possible way of course.

To finally manage to quit drinking and finding a God of my understanding....not sure which order to put them in ...one couldn't have happened without the other.

Some nice posts here for a change. The most moving experience was the birth of my daughter in '76. It took about 2 days from contractions to birth. On leaving the hospital and putting on the radio in the car the first song that came on was " Isn't she lovely" Stevie Wonder. And I am filling up again now recalling the event.

God bless you Tessa and she and 2 grand children came to visit me last August

1. When mountain biking in Spain, after a full days hard slog to the top, now in the evening sun, hurtling down listening to the rocks pinging on the frame, trees blur by, not using the brakes I 'let go' and trust my bike knows what to do. Then I leap, going airborne and everything goes quiet except the rush of wind, glancing over the side of the mountain and thinking "oh dear, I've really over played my cards this time", passing over a chasm made by the summer storms, then landing on the other side ..... pinging of rocks return. OH WOW! I could cry when I think of the ecstasy that followed, and the realisation of how sweet life can be. Like a Zen Koan.

2. Going out on a Sunday in a friends boat in Widnes heading out to the Mersey. The weather turns bad, no life jackets, no ship to shore, no way to reach the shore. This is it. It takes all day and most of the night to weather the storm, and by some mercy we didn't sink, managing to bail out the bilge water manually between us all. Reaching the shore I fell to the ground (in dirty oil like sand) and just laughed, and laughed, and couldn't catch my breath it was such a good feeling to grasp that sand between my fingers. It's also the first time where I really felt that nothing could scare me any more, like the adrenaline tanks had all been used up. That's a rare feeling as I am generally fairly anxious for no reason. I wouldn't choose to experience it again, but it was an experience worth having.

3. Top of a mountain again, this time in the snow. No real drama in this one, just the feeling of standing on top of the world, breathing in the sharp air, with the bluest sky I've ever seen, in the company of some of the best friends I've every made.

4. Thailand with my Ex, all scrubbed up for a friday night out with some other couples, my significant other riding with me on the bike, and the feeling of for one time in my life of being a complete person.

There are many others, but they were the first four that came to mind. There is a fairly strong correlation though to the high often coming after the actual event, and that rush of 'omg this experience is amazing'.
