In order of importance to me:-
1. The day I quit the job I hated for many years and started a new job a day later that I loved - Paid Less, but no comparison on getting out of bed every morning after.
2. The day I cleared my last mortgage and a few other loans and owing nothing to anybody. And guess what - The "efficient" bank couldn't find the house deeds for a couple of years and couldn't hack it when I was on THEIR case.
3. My first day of retirement.
I have others, but they will have to wait . . . .

Aside from the usual wedding, kids being born etc and in no real order
- 1984 Munster Hurling final in Thurles, 4 point down, 4 minutes to go and Cork score 2-2 without replay, Tipp fans in tears coming out as the All Ireland was going to be in Thurles that year. Loved it. ! Up the rebels!
- Munster, in Cardiff, finally getting across the line. I roared at Peter Stringer from a seat on the other side of the pitch that there was no one on the blind side and he must have heard me because he scampered over.
- Ringing my parents from London to say I'd got a job in Ireland and was heading home, My sister ringing me back 5 minutes later in case I was taking the mick
- Burning Peig Sayers and the English translation after the Leaving
- Bruce Springsteen in concert with the Segar sessions in the Point. Hate the album, worst thing he ever did in my view but also the best gig I ever saw him do and my favourite gig of all time. weird
The day I finished school.
The day I started work , which I stayed at for 40 years.
The day I met my , now , wife of 43 years.
The days our two sons were born.
The Anniversaries celebrated since.
The day we finished paying our mortgage.
The day I finished work, never looked back .
More to follow shortly... very shortly..
