dulwichdreadlocks Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 One of my defining moments was getting wrongfully arrested by the police and detained for 24 hours. Long story but it made me realize that being born in the UK does not necessarily make you British or a citizen with full rights, in the eyes of certain people....

Mikecg Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 When I was a full time Musician 15 years ago I was a 24 hour party person, women drugs and booze were the order of the day. when my daughter was born I stopped all the drugs no more womanising and I enrolled at a college to study computer science. that was a defining moment for me, from that point on I haven't looked back it has changed my life.

LegalEagle-ish Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I became a Christian in 2001 when I was at a very low point in my life, and that changed my outlook on life completely and enabled me to put myself back together.

That evening is frozen in my minds eye and I discovered the way forward after that.....up to that point "Subbuteo" had been my passion.My Subbuteo Board that Dad, lovingly, made me, was cast aside forever....

SteveT Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Spark67 to reduce the boredom you might download books to your Ipod at a cheap rate from 'audible' who are cheaper than anywhere else and you can sit or lie and listen, and if you nod off you can replay it.This is particularly useful if you are reading a really 'chewy' book by Dickens or some other classic writer.Get well soon Sparky.

Reynard Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I don't think I can honestly say I've had a defining moment in my life such as becoming a parent, buying a property or loosing a pension but I've had some special occasions/adventures.Visiting an oil rig whilst at university. They're very intimidateing behemoths of Civil and marine engineering. Belly of the beast so to speak.Riding the hook of a tower crane. Very stupid in hindsight but very drunk at the time.Riding a Camel in Turkey.Firing an automatic weapon. AK47 in Pakistan which cost me $40. Getting laid 3 times in one week on an all inclusive on the Costas.Shot a bear in Canada. This wasn't out of choice as the stupid animal had been crushed under an excavator. Very disturbing.Thrashing my Yamaha R1 along the autobahn. Magic mushrooms in Amsterdam.

charliecharlie Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 strangely... well for me anyway, as I was rather taken aback by my reaction, hot air ballooning above the Kent countryside on a beuatiful summer's evening was quite a defining moment for me... sort of got it all in perspective (man's relationship with nature, the scale of importance of things in my life, how lucky I/we are, how amazing the English countryside can be, how important friends are and how with, one slip, your life could be over... I would recommend it to anyone, I get vertigo pretty badly and I was fine, so if I can do it anyone can(tu)http://www.frenchtowner.com/m/hot-air-balloon-ride.jpg Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5564-has-there-been-a-defining-moment-in-your-life/#findComment-179654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
