The best days of your life & why?

I guess we've all had a purple patch when the stars aligned & life was so much fun. (Or at least choose to remember it that way).

Mine was summer 1986

I'd just moved out of a slum into my shiny new house. Living with me in said house were two of my best mates..both beer monsters.

The World Cup finals were on, and we really had a proper crack at winning. One match was 7-9 pm, then off to the pub. Next match was 11 pm to 1 am along with a chinese/indian and a few cans.

Quiz machines had been in the pubs for a while & we had the drop on them. We usually won enough cash to pay for our beers & take away. (We even knew the "wrong" answers. If you played those machines you'll know what I mean)

Then...the hand of god & in a flash it was finished.....

......almost, my very first brand new car arrived, it was the fastest production car ever made. Ford Fiesta XR2 in diamond white with pepper pot wheels & a sun roof. Trust me, after a Viva HC it was like lightening (and started/stopped when required)

I've had 1000s of great times in the ensuing 31 years, but that was one summer!

When was your purple patch?

Lots focused on relationships...confirms that my beer & football makes me a shallow person
