Having been peeved off with all the negative shite of recent postings
what events have lifted your spirits to such an extent that you have actually forgotten where you were what you were doing for a living etc
For mine being a sports watcher the First Dream Team was unbelievable
Michael Jordan,Magic Johnson & Larry Bird(the tall white guy) playing together was awesome...if an analogy could be drawn thay played like Ants
total understanding without thinking the ultimate
B...OZ Shallow Maybe

AW? LC?
Can't say I know the feeling although I did used to babysite Brett Maher(Sometime Austalian Boomer)...a little shit in all senses of the word probably what made him a 'WINNER'..although when the Adelaide 36ers recently won 3 premierships in 5 years I thought gladly of him but did he remember his baby sitter..NO
cheers

The inclusion of women's beach volleyball in the last Olympics was also very good.

Any event where David beats Goliath in any sport. Some have just been amazing feats against all the odds. Wimbledon's FA Cup win for example but i see life inspiring sporting achievements at least a couple of times a year. West Indies are currently on the history trail!
