They can be good, bad, happy, sad, personal, national, international, life changing, world changing, political, sporting, musical etc. etc...........
What are the strongest memories for you???
What will you remember the last decade for???

Had a look at rte and the news photo gallery of the decade, very interesting and hard to believe how long since some of those events took place. Strongest memory (aka JFK moment) was twin towers, hands down. Best sporting moment....... wales missing a drop goal while a certain miss Jenkins(not catherine! i wish) was on her knees as i watched that miss in glee, heaven :p

Have to say 9/11 would be right up there. Also the way the world was totally transformed by the sub prime lending saga and total collapse of the financial sector, almost worldwide.

-significant in politics was the ending of tensions & the formation of a power sharing government in Northern Ireland remember how things were at the start of the decade?
-the outing of the banks here the revelation that they bankers/developers/politicians were mocking us all throwing money amongst themselves living it up never short of money while now the ordinary man pays for all their mistakes/greed what must other countries think of us & our financial institutions?
-the Iraq War & the execution of Saddam Hussein this is amazing coz it should never have happened in the first place 'weapons of mass destruction & all that'(there were none) simply Britains prime minister Tony Blair was coerced by gunslinger US President George Bush to go to war again all the thousands of innocent lives lost noone gave a fuck - Bush & Blair =War Criminals
-the incredible 9/11 tragedy a dream hit for evil terrorists
-the loss of 2 loving memorable long term relationships I ended one the other I got dumped & the distraught that came with them breakups the furter heartbreak in a brief r/ship with a gorgeous girl this year coz I opened my big mouth I will forever regret that one sentence- goodbye to this year/decade... -

I think the scientific moment of the decade has to be when Rover answered the age old question...

This particular year has been an absolute rollercoaster so I won't go beyond 2009.
Most Disturbing memory:
Publication of the Ryan report. The Church was an institution I was brain washed from an early age into believing was a beacon of morality. After much difficulty, I eventually accepted the fact that what I was led to belive was in fact bullshit and explored alternative ways of life. In a bizarre sort of way, revelations about the depravity of the Catholic church vindicated in my mind my quest for new ways of finding contentment (like punting).
Most Pleasing Memory:
I in fact have 2. One was an incredible night with a certain Brazilian escort. The other was the utter elation I experienced when Stephen Jones's penatly feel short in Cardiff and Ireland were crowned Grand Slam champions. That day thought me that sex is not the only way a person can reach cloud nine!!!:)!!! -

You are being far to modest Rover. You also made inroads into the music industry, who can forget (or forgive) you for giving us...

Most pleasing memory:
The fact that having only shagged 1 woman over the course of the preceding 4 decades, I shagged 40 during the past decade (some numerous times).
Most unpleasant memory:
The realisation that the average Catholic priest is probably getting more than me.........and for free. (Then again, I never forced anybody and in my case, they were all old enough to vote..........and shag for their respective countries).
High point:
The Grand Slam and Ryder Cup win in Ireland. (Mayo have'nt won the All-Ireland since 1951 or so......don't loose the faith lads, hope springs eternal). :D:D:D -
