BirthdaysMy best birthday so far was my 30th, when I held a Polish Bear Hunting evening in some woods - everyone dressed up in hunting gear, ate a Polish hunting stew round a big fire and then, armed with torches, ran out to find the foil-wrapped chocolate bears I'd hidden in the trees.
My worst so far was my first at university - my birthday was the first official day of term, so I thought there'd be loads of people there to have fun with. No, Cambridge is so posh nobody actually turns up on the first night. I got very drunk with the barman.
What extremes of birthdays have you had?

1st and 21stMy worst birthday was probably my 21st which I spent in bed alternately sweating profusely from the heat, and sweating profusely from the cold. Having the flu on your birthday is no fun.
I don't really remember my best birthday, but I have seen the photos and it looks like it would have been a lot of fun. My mum decided that she'd throw me a 1st birthday party and invite round all the snotty nosed toddlers in the area. Aware that small children have a tendancy to make a bit of a mess, she came up with the ingenious idea of dumping us all in the linoleum floored kitchen with messy child food that we could eat and roll in to our hearts content, and buggering off into the carpeted living room with her friends. She might have ended up with a lot of messy one year olds, but only one was her responsibility to clean up and the kitchen floor wiped clean in an instant.
