    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.

    My first time on the internet - waiting for hours for a small patch to download for Diablo over Dial-up... playing it after, then seeing the phone bill at the end of the month. /woo

    Ireland winning the grand slam 2009. I'm not even a rugby fanatic, I just remember feeling my heart was going to burst through my chest.

    Give me one moment in time
    When I'm more than I thought I could be
    When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
    And the answers are all up to me
    Give me one moment in time
    When I'm racing with destiny
    Then in that one moment of time
    I will be
    I will be
    I will be free
    I will be
    I will be free

    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!

    Surprised nobody has mentioned their kids being born yet...

    Oh well, time for me to mention it so - my daughter being born! I'll never forget that!

    OP - tell us more about your missus riding some other fella while you were right there beside them! She sounds like a right cnut! Didn't even have the decency to sneak off to another room.... I hope you knocked the shyte out of both of them...

    Edit - MonstaMash & KKkitty got in there before me on the baby thing!

    That was one of mine too! I actually cried! :o

    Others were:

    When I was six, waking up on the ground after falling out of a tree and getting knocked out. You know that expression 'wake up with a crowd around you'? That was what happened, I just opened my eyes and the first thing that registered with me, before the pain and blood spraying out of my head, was all these scared faces looking down at me.

    My mum telling me that my grandpa had died.

    The first time I kissed my boyfriend (now husband).

    When my son was born and they put him on my stomach and I suddenly realised he was mine.

    Getting married in a Shinto temple with Mount Fuji bathed in sunlight as a backdrop.

    Seeing the Milky Way as crystal clear as best you can without a telescope, on Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

    Swimming in an ice cold mountain river in Yakushima, Japan.

    The first time I kissed a girl.

    The emotional reunion with my cousin again after over 25 years.

    When a well known singer asked me for my number.

    Walking to Hyde Park against the war, with 2 million others, 10 years ago.

    Shitting myself in High Infants because it was a better option than using the disgusting toilets in the school.

    Being shot at by an unhinged neighbour when I was seven.

    My first day at the big school.

    The careers guidance teacher saying I'd never amount to anything (visionary man.:pac:)

    Being sick over a RUC woman the night Ireland lost to Holland in a Euro 96 playoff

    Passing my driving test and my first ride on the same day.

    Being told by a college tutor I was a waste of space and would never amount to anything.

    Walking out on my first job (after my boss told me I was useless and would never amount to anything.:pac:)

    The last words I said to my mother before she died.:(

    Loads more but I can't think of them now.

    That was pretty memorable, I was on a lads holiday at the time, wandered out hungover to find some breakfast and saw crowds of people around a tv in a bar. Thought it was a match or something but saw the footage of the second tower collapsing, was absolutely surreal watching this world changing event live on tv.

    Age 4 - burning my finger on a match when I joined my older brother and his "cool" friends on the streetcorner. Unbearable pain.

    Age 11 - remembering I had been abused as a younger child. The memory just hit me out of the blue.

    Age 14 - Realising during 2nd year maths class that my (female!) teacher was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen! :D

    Age 16 - The day the beer I had hidden in my bedroom at home disappeared. I knew one of my parents had taken it and said nothing, rather than laying into me about underage drinking. They actually let me squirm for a week before confronting me - never hid drink in the room again.

    Age 17 - Being outed to my entire class by the cúnt who bullied me relentlessly in school

    Age 21- Getting drunk in a bouncy castle at my birthday and scoring a super hot girl I worked with at the time :)

    Age 22 - Graduation

    Age 25 - Sleeping with a guy for the first time

    Age 26 - returning to college to do something I love :P
