    What was the happiest time of your life?

    and did you realise it as such at the time?

    for me it was on a ship doing a coastal run around Brazil. A few hours at sea followed by a few days in each port such as Rio de Janeiro, Angra dos Reis and my favourite - Sao Sebastio. I doubt anything will ever get better than that. And yet at time I thought it was great but not THAT great......

    The few years I was nursing in UK. I was young (late teens, early 20's), having shedloads of fun, loved my job, I was good at it, no responsibilities during my time off. Not a huge amount of money, but enough to go out 3 or 4 times a week. Wonderful time. Did I know that at the time? Hell, no!

    I honestly don't think i've been happier than i am right now, this last couple of years since I have been with my wife TD.

    I mean my wife and TD.

    I do realise it too.

    good thread by the way Slimboy.

    probably Bangkok, 1996 - before the crash. Great times. And "no", I did not realize it till I woke up on Jul 3, 1997 and wondered where the fuck all my money had gone.

    The moment my son was born. No wait, also the moment my daughter was born. Both irreplaceable.

    How long does it have to be to qualify as a time? Is one day enough?

    Sitting in a chair I'd dragged out of the bar in Norman Carr's camp watching the hippos faffing about in the Luangwa river at sunset , sipping a cold Mosi. There's a line in a le Carre book which covers it. 'You can kill me now God 'cos it ain't going to get better than this'.

    one second is long enough.

    i was thinking about being 14 yrs old and playing football after school until it became so dark no-one could see the ball. that was pretty cool as well. its really sad but i can still remember some of the goals i scored

    I'm figuring 'time' means more than an individual experience, holiday, lay, etc.

    That being the case, I can honestly say...never more than now.

    That's not some 'wanky' claim. It's just that I figure I am old enough, experienced enough, 'whatever' enough that if I'm not happy with my current situation, I can always get off my arse and change it...

    Yeah that would be pretty cool. i never hit a six, only a few fours - but there is one catch i took i will probably remember until my dying day - and another one i dropped that i will keep trying to forget until my dying day
