Beautiful MomentsThe best night of my life was spent lying in the bottom of a boat, floating down a river low enough to be under the thin layer of mist gathering at about 3am such that it scudded between me and the stars.
Make us feel all warm and fluffy. Tell us about the most beautiful moments in your life so far.

Sad But TrueHad a lot of problems in my life at the time and was very unhappy. Was in a job I hated and which it was highly likely I would be made redundant from in the near future, unable to find a new job due to economic situation at the time.
Father-in-law just died, so wife away looking after mother-in-law. Without my wife around I didn't really feel like eating or sleeping, and hadn't done much of either in a few days.
Gave lift home to co-worker who bored me hummousless with tales of her boyfriends. It was then it hit me, the solution to all my problems. I would be better off without the world and the world would be better off without me. A wave a great peacefulness and happiness washed over me. I dropped colleague and headed for B&Q.
4m of rope purchased, and looped round my neck, I felt wonderful, perfectly calm, perfectly happy and never more sure of anything else in my life.
Then my wife phoned to see how I was, and the spell broke.
But to be honest neither before nor since have I ever felt better.
