Seeing as this forum is becoming banal...what it the most memorable experience in your life???
Children being born. Easy.
Me too - times four!
Luckily i found out what was causing it and got snipped.
Much earlier, lining up for the mile race on sports day when I was 13, looking for my parents in the crowd, running the race of my life and winning by over half a lap
94-lap race), then seeing my parents drive into the car park 10 minutes too late!
Making a raft out of polystyrene packaging, pinched from the Panasonic factory and attempting to sail it down the rhymney river, about eight ten year olds. Got stuck in mud and it broke into pieces. My wife has also had three kids that are mine, although nothing matches the raft.
Probably 9/11. Unfortunately.
Apart from family matters, seeing mother and calf Humpback whales around a ship I was working on off Angola, the calf was so close to the ship, constantly breeching, that I actually got wet. I've seen plenty of whales, but never so close. At the moment we have five Peregrine falcons who have remained on the vessel for days, despite us moving to avoid Hurricane Delta. One of them plucked a small bird out of the choppy sea yesterday, something I hadn't realised they could do. Came so close I managed to get a (crap) photo with my mobile.

I love the City, music, films, books, but nothing comes close to nature for me, the aerial prowess of these Peregrines is breathtaking, though no one else on board takes much notice. Everyone was running around looking at the whales though.
Nearly getting my head caved in at Exeter and Hereford
Very memorable , I still wake up in a cold sweat
Surviving a deliberate attempt on my life.
Gulf of Mexico, we're off Alabama, but moved east to avoid the hurricane, the peregrines came with us, and returned with us. They been half heartedly pestering some of the seabirds, Magnificent Frigate Birds (see photo), Booby's and Little Egrets (you'll have seen loads being an angler) they call them Snowy Egrets over here. I watch Peregrines a lot at home, the Wales coastal path has plenty, and there's a pair at Porthkerry.

They seem to be eating plenty.

Getting into Wigan Casino alnighter as a 14 year old kid from Merthyr was mind blowing something I always look back on with fond memories.
