your top moments of the year (1 Viewer)

[Ex-User (4368)]

yeah, feelgood.

one of mine's got to be at the end of the summer. went fishing a lot in my youth but haven't touched a rod since my early teens. so me and her indoors were down in dingle. got some sand eels, cast out from the beach hoping to catch some bass for tea. not even a nibble. got a bit wet and miserable. we drove past ventry and saw the lil' peer. "we may as well give it a shot..." hooked up two rods with spinners. the lady cast in. pulled out a mackerel, her first ever cast and she catches a fish! she casts in again, same thing happens. between us we end up catching 15 odd mackerel in around 30 minutes... we were totally freaking out. total luck, shoal just happened to be chomping on some sprat that were swimming around the peer. went back to the house and cooked some off... made our brains sing. drank a bottle of wine each while we fished.

good times.

also...

getting lucky.
seeing battles at atp.

I was beaten up no times this year.

Me unknowingly having my right ball hang out of a hole in my jeans on the bus was a top moment, not for the auld one sitting across from me though!

Musically the electric picnic was a great weekend, as was Interpol in the Olympia, finally seeing Whipping Boy live and both Weezer gigs.

The hilarious reaction to me calling Steve Fanning a cunt still makes me laugh to this day especially the peeps who still "de-rep" me at 4 and 5 in the morning

Football had no highlights whatsoever Man United and Ireland both managed to break my heart over and over again.

The most recent highlight was recording 'Feed the World' backwards during champagne cider and spliff fuelled mania..

 

[oh shit]

nothing of note happened this year.

yah, not much can beat rocking in a different country.
the new DF cd will see the light in april - something like 3 years in the making (on and off. mostly off). will be preceeded by the giraffe running thing (finally got ian williams contribution back so it's 99% there. the all-out winner though is mike steven's contribution - wait 'til you hear it folks!)
hopefully new band making debut also. to dream of playing abroad in 2006 may be too greedy. who knows.

Overall this year was pretty rad. Some tough stuff got in the way of the rad stuff, but tough stuff is ok cos it makes you realise how rad the rad people are cos they're there for you when stuff is tough, which is rad.

2006 is going to rock though. Non stop.

You too dude. I hope you and your lovely lady enjoy Christmas and have more good times next year. She wants you to get her a hat and scarf for Christmas by the way, so I hope you have that covered!!

You put up a sampler of this before and it was very very good. Any chance of sticking it up again?

 

[Vinnie]

I made a joke (genuinely) and you called me a loser. Hardly the stuff of good cheer. Not to worry. And please dont use my real name on this board. I'm incognito.

My highlight of the year hasn't happened yet. It had fucking better.

sure vinnie. you're the business. this was supposed to be a good vibes thread.
