Marrying my wife. No kids so far, but if we are lucky enough to have them that will become my fondest moment.

Wow these guys are still around. I saw them back in 1986 for Somewhere in time!

One of my best moments..

My wife was doing her nails one night and left all the nail polish on the cloth lounge. Next day my then 2 year old daughter gets up and spills the contents of a nail polish bottle on the lounge....mum gets up and takes one look and says...OH F.......

My daughter is then in our room waking me up and telling me that mummy put some pretty pink and purple F.......on the lounge.


....this is why we have kids...lol

bringing our second son home from the children's hospital after all the specialists told us we never would

born with cerebral palsy and a hole in the heart......spent his first 8 months in "rose ward" of the Adelaide children's

those that know this ward will know what he and us went through

worst moment......watching the emergency retrieval chopper taking him away and being told our son would not survive the night

Seeing the Wu Tang Clan play in Melbourne last year. Sad that Meth didn't come out, and obviously ODB couldn't, but the show was unbelievable all the same...even with the white boy gangster wanna be MC calling us 'Melbourne city'.

Birth of my daughter, then nearly three years later the birth of my twin boys.

And the time I went to the Kenworth factory to see trucks getting made.

The birth of my kids, getting divorced, and then seeing my son graduate as a police officer after i had brought him up by myself was pretty gratifying. Oh, and winning the 12 second bracket at HPR was a hoot.

I have many moments.

when I got married, when I bought my first car, going overseas for the first time, when I bought my race push bike, the day before you are about to go on an epic holiday with all the excitement.

Seeing Noel Gallagher play live at BDO this year, sang my favorite song which I yelled every lyric out to and I was just 3m away from him. Only thing to top that would be meeting him, and after that meeting Liam and the rest of Oasis.
