1999 and 2002

1999 because United won the treble and I had a fantastic year at School.
2002 becuase I left education, got a job and discovered going out on the beer. I was also single at the time. Fat bird skinny bird... didn't care, as long as it had a pulse and a fanny - good days

1994/1995 coming into my own mid teens with all my friends from back home

1998 when I passed my driving test met a fantastic bird, moved out of the parents house etc etc. You know how it is

Oh and 2008 has been great until last couple of weeks

If I had to commit to one it would probably be 1991, first year at University.

So exciting becoming properly independent, also consumed a lot of beer, saw a fair bit of football, made some great friends, and hardly any responsibilities

Seem to remember it was a nice summer that year too

You should turn it into a poll listing ever year since 1976.

We can then know for sure which was the best year.

Probably 1989, as I left school that year, got my first car, had a fabulous lads holiday in Faliraki, had my first threesome, started my first job, and rented by first flat

Obviously, if the wife reads this, it was actually 2003 when I got married

1987 - left school, messed about on the dole with my mate for 6 months and then got my dream job.
Those 28 quid, fortnightly giros where the highlight.

1540 was a good year for me as it was the end of Reformation - which was proving to be a bit of a hassle being as I knew Bob Monkhouse.
Prior to that, I have fond memories of 991 when King Ethelred began getting serious with the Danish...

There are other very splendid years to raise, including 1918 when WW1 ended and 1989 when I hung round the linear park with my mates burning rubber smurfs or 1992 when the blue bridge and merrydown cider vomit were the things of teens...

2089 was too a good year for the semi I bought on Mars was sold at a profit of 15zillion marpletards, which I used to buy Zericon 9 (an inhabitable planet 4 light years past Pluto, turn right and second planet next to the fourth star on the right...

every year is a good one as it is another one I have survived

but if I had to list 1 it would be 1972 as it was the one I was born in without it I wouldn't be writing this post now so it has to be the best one. {for me anyway }

1990 - the rave scene and music at the time was the best ever imho and the year of Italia 90 World Cup.That added to it being my first summer of constant alcohol sampling !

Ah,happy days!

Without doubt, that year will go down as a classic. Being born 10lb 6oz in one of the hotest summers on record must have upset my mum.

The 90's for the clubbing scene.

2005 for my Daughter's birth.

This year, for the in coming new fella/little lady.
