    That nearly mirrors mine , i was on a girls holiday in gran canaria and went down stairs to the bar to get us breakfast and everyone was watching it on the tv, it resulted in no one else getting breakfast cause I stayed in the bar watching it for ages

    I remember my mum picking me up from a half day at school and telling us that there had been a terrible accident in America and a plane had crashed into the empire state building! Got home and turned on the TV, discovered that it was the twin towers and just then the second plane hit and suddenly we all realised that it hadn't been an accident!

    My dad trying to teach me how to say seddon atkinson at a truck dealership when i was 4 or 5 is my first memory

    Being with my dad when 9/11 happened driving home in his truck after delivering a load in limerick listening on the radio

    Seeing dozens if not 100s of cargo ships off all types parked up in Singapore very impressive sight

    Seeing my daughter be born holding her for the first time and seeing her mums reaction when i gave her to her each of those 3 different experiences so close together will never leave me.

    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?

    Where does it say you have to be from Manchester to support a team from the city?

    I guess all the rugby fans I see in South African jersey's around Dublin must be from Johannesburg.

    I for one would hate to feel limited for some stupid reason on what or who I could enjoy supporting/following with keen interest.

    Great thread, hopefully it runs to tomorrow afternoon............

    The obligatory kid moments.....

    1 Missus announces pregnancy
    2 Turns out to be twins
    3 Pregnancy goes horribly wrong...
    4 saying goodbye to the them several times......
    5 (Few years of strife later) The twins starting school this very morning :D


    Non-kid related moments that have stuck with me
    1982 - My first BMX

    1990 - Getting to level 186 on bombjack

    1995 - Starting Uni after being told by all (much like our backwards friend) that I’d never amount to anything

    1996 – Old man passing on unexpectedly

    1997 – Walking away from Uni

    1997 – Yer man looking for his arm in Saving Private Ryan (I tied his shoes for him)

    1998 – France winning world cup and Bastille day while I lived in Marseille

    Most of the 000’s are a blurrrrrr and I’m pretty sure I blew out my kidneys but I wouldn’t change a moment of it

    2002 – escorting the Miss Universe contestants out of Abuja, Nigeria when the sh1t kicked off

    2004 – Punching a baboon on the cape of good hope

    2007 - The wedding

    2008 – signing that foookin mortgage contract

    And then along came the nippers and the circle of life is complete.

    My first memory: running riot around the Royal Hotel in Bray as a a two-year-old.

    9/11. I remember I had training that night and it was all we talked about but at 13 years of age we hadn't a clue what it really meant.

    My first kiss.

    My first ride.

    The first time I had a nervous breakdown, burst into tears on the bus home from college.

    A prolonged period of depression where I was thinking about death constantly and ways that I could kill myself and make it look like an accident. It's really scary looking back now.

    The first time I went to Brazil.

    Today, when I woke up to my flat flooded.

    That time in 87764-070 when the First Vl'Hurg Fleet got their collective ass handed to them by myself and a small but ferocious band of dedicated Gug-G'Vunntt Helltroopers. We rotated out of hyperspace just beside the Crab Nebula with cannon already blazing, nearly pissing our Combat Pantaloons with exitement, they hadn't a hope. A few of them found out what it was to spend a thousand years being slowly digested from the inside in the Skaven Pits that day, I may tell you!

    Umm, sorry - wrong Galaxy. :o

    At first I wanted to hear more about the guy who's girlfriend was riding some other fella while he slept off a hangover, I no longer care for that.

    Tell me MORE!

    Like so many - 9/11. Was at home doing fourth class maths homework when I heard about 'something' going on in New York.

    Sick feeling of Breivik in Norway too, a country I love.

    Passing driving test (third time's the charm)

    First ride.

    First kiss with current and only gf.

    All of 2002 WC (only one we've been in in my lifetime)

    Walking out of LC economics exam in disbelief to be able to leave that prison of school behind me :P

    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!

    +1 on this, watching the second impact live on tv,will never forget,
    the screams from the people on the ground.

    9/11 in terms of newsworthy events.

    In sports terms, I'm no Man City fan, but Agueroooooooooooooooooooo was pretty amazing.

    Personally, probably first ride.
