Trip to Zambia with school :eek:

Im not jealous, our trip to the local land fill site was amazing :s-smilie:

Aww it was amazing, first trip out of Scotland as well but it gave me a real eye opener to a developing country.

This year the schools off to Tanzania and then in 2010 some zambian and Tanzanian pupils will be coming to scotland - that shall be interesting and good to see them again.

Was that with geography, we got a 3 day residential this year and a couple of days at the beach :P

Erm....
9/11 - I was driving back from school and I remember every word my dad said, even though it was nearly 10 years ago.... "Something's happened that's going to be in the news for a very long time..."

Every person I've ever kissed :rolleyes:

Strange but yarh.

First time I had sex.

When I shook Prince Charles' hand (I was like 10 haha) and he said - "That's a very posh blazer you have". Wooooooooooh :woo:

The first time I met my girlfriend.

The first time she said she loved me. :rolleyes:

Getting up the day Diana died and running into the parents room to watch CITV only to find it wasn't friggin' on, I was gutted!

Similar to 9/11, not really understanding what was happening and just being annoyed that there wasn't cartoons on - I actually thought it was a film for about an hour.

My 16th birthday party - I will NEVER drink alcopops again.

Having to sing to an audience of 300 people after having returned from Berlin that morning with a chest infection, and my bandmaster announcing to the audience that I had thrown up three times backstage. Yeah thanks. Then running offstage to be sick again after our set and not being able to play the finale. THEN watching the whole sorry thing on DVD a month later.

Finding out last week that I'd gotten my best mark in two years of studying A-Level History in a resit exam.

My 18th birthday.

No? What kind of adult man grabs an 11 year old girl by the scruff of their neck?

One who's just seen said 11 year old girl knock his young daughter over with a sodding great big ball...

If anyone did that to either of my daughters, unless immediate and genuine sorrow was shown I'm pretty sure I'd flatten whoever did it...

Anyway, obviously 911, not so much 77 oddly enough, IIRC we were both at home or something, either way out of the picture for the day. I also remember Canary Wharf getting bombed by the IRA, Iraq invading Kuwait (I'd heard of Iraq at the time from the Iran Iraq war, but being IIRC 12 at the time I hadn't the foggiest idea about Kuwait...).

Obviously a fair few general elections, the '97 one I was at the count for Milton Keynes South, and we were all overjoyed that we'd finally gotten rid of those sodding Tory *******. It was also the first general election I voted in.

Plenty of others, obviously personal ones are meeting my now wife, refusing to get down on one knee in the resteraunt in Rome to propose to her, even though we were pretty much the only people there (I guess I wasn't drunk enough), our wedding and of course the birth of our two daughters.

I'm sure there are more 'big' events that I could recall, as well as more personal ones, for example being told that my grandmother had died upon returning from a day out at the Leeds Royal Armouries with my best mate for his 21st birthday, which happened to coincide with those huge fuel protests about eight years ago. Almost didn't get home from that actually...

Obama winning wasn't really a big deal, the inevitable is hardly something surprising and thus momentous. But I suspect for the US it was very similar to how '97 was for us in the UK, finally getting rid of a corrupt and thoroughly useless and rather nasty government....

There are some events that stay with you and you remember what you doing exactly when they happened.

So what are yours?

Coming round a bend at 60mph to find two lorries coming towards me (an arctic and a tipper), one on each side of the road.

-9/11, Not realizing it was a terrorist attack until the second tower fell. Putting on the news and seeing the death and helplessness. Being so scared when seeing everyone being picked up from school and not knowing if our city would be next.
-November 4th 08 Barack Obama being announced as the winner of the election
-4th of July 2004 when my father died
-fathers day 2006 when my best friends father died
-Hurricane Katrina coming when I was in New Orleans and had no idea it would turn into what it did
-That time I was on an airplane and the pilot was telling us flight details then suddenly shouts "oh ****" before the plane plunged and then somehow righted itself. I still despise flying.

hmmm I guess I have a better memory of bad events. Oh well I still think I have an awesome life lol

In terms of news events, September 11th and Princess Diana dieing are the only two that spring to mind. Someone else mentioned the 2005 Champions League final, I don't think I'll forget that either.

In terms of personal life, watching my best friend get run over, being told my dad had died, getting physically attacked twice and watching my step dad die. To throw a positive one in, my University Graduation and passing my driving test.

If you'd let your daughter crawl around by herself and then get hurt because she was too small to be seen, you'd deserve to be lamped yourself just for poor parenting. To then grab the young girl who accidentally did it and shout at her for your own parenting failures would simply make you scum.
