Ever been in adalaide when it is 45 degrees Celsius a cold coopers pale is good, still not a single malt. A good curry is not the worst. Nah, a good city win is the best, followed by a good single malt ( or during, they haven't noticed my hip flask yet.
I think any sport can give you that excitement and adrenalin rush if you're into it enough. Henman at Wimbledon, last few balls of a close one day international, Kelly Holmes straining every muscle to win the gold medal, Steve Redgrave winning his fifth, seeing your horse win, Ashes victories and nail biting draws of recent years......
Hmmmm... You're talking spectator sports, you may as well be watching a half decent film...as an angler, I can tell you nothing beats the adrenaline rush of the sound of a bite alarm going off when carping, the scream of line being ripped of the clutch when piking or catfishing, or even better, that moment, when night fishing, the rod tip is ripped around as a double figure barbel takes the bait at 2am on the Great Ouse... Truely awesome moments!
Nothing better than footie when I'm in my seat at Carrow Road , nothing better than a fine steak with a good red wine when I'm eating, nothing better than an old speckled hen or a fine malt when I'm drinking, nothing better than Pink Floyd when I'm listening to music, nothing better than cricket when watching my son play...... Time and place for everything
Welly - When it comes to curry I'm a bit of a wimp, I enjoy a nice madras, jalfreezi or Bhuna, but can't handle a vindaloo! A madras (and naan) accompanied with an ice cold bottle of Broadside. Perfection. Absolute perfection.
Can confirm that's not my pic I am going prematurely grey though, so you might be right! That doesn't make you a wimp at all, madras/bhuna is average I'd say. And the two hardest blokes I know can barely manage to get past a korma, now that is funny to see!
Blimey, there are some seriously deep and meaningful posts on here since I left mine. I thought this was supposed to be some sort of joke thread at first, anyway to be serious then; Losing your virginity must be up there (that was bloody years ago but I still remember it as if it were yesterday), proper falling in love, witnessing the birth of your first child, making love in the great outdoors, buying your first house, there's a few for you
You should eat a vindaloo slowly, a lot of rice on the fork with just a little curry, a bit of nan, (my favourite curry house does an amazing chilli nan), take your time... You soon get a tolerance to hot food, I used to think vindaloos were hot, now I look on them as average heat, same as chilli's, when I got my first order of Bhut Jolokias through I would put one diced up into a chilli, but as my tolerance has gone up I now put about 2 1/2 in, along with a dash or two of Ghost pepper sauce, easily available from Tesco! please log in to view this image You should try it, good in currys too! (but go easy with it!!)
Anyone not saying when your children are born has either A. Never had any or B. Too old to remember the feeling Nothing else comes even remotely close.
yes but I watch football 25 plus times a year , imagine that feeling 25 times , bet your missus would lock you away
Football has drifted for me. I am a Norwich fan and love the club for representing our area, but through age I think life experiences have put it into perspective a little. When promoted to the prem I was filled with pride almost to the point of tears. but where a defeat used to piss me off for the entire weekend now I just swear a bit, go home (or turn off the radio) and get on with my Saturday night. Only difference really is that if we got beat I am not so keen to see MOTD. Things I enjoy:- 1. Any time or interaction with my little girl 2. An evening out with the wife (doesn't happen too often because of 1.) 3. A good shag 4. Norwich City 5. Music 6. Driving - I love goning on a nice long journey. 7. Exploring somewhere new - seeing places is great. I just CANNOT go on a beach type holiday. Bores the nuts off me. 8. Footbal in General.
Did it with both my sons, my daughter was delivered by Caesarian Section eight months ago, which was totally different experience...probably more intense, watching an operation being carried out under an epidural...
My little girl (only child) was c section. It was planned in advance an so a nice easy birth. I must add, my wife is not too posh to push or anything, it was decided in advance through medical reasons. I have never been at a natural birth. We're not planning anymore so I guess I never will be.
c-section is much easier, our daughter was breach and didn't turn, so we got the date to go in, and it was carried out to perfection, nothing but praise for the surgeon and midwifery team who did it... My second son was delivered at home with two midwifes attending...until the situation got critical I spent most of the night putting in some hot laps on Gran Turismo on the playstation with a few cold beers...
Love that last comment! We had our third at home, all I managed to do was knock the gas and Air canister onto my big toe
