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?

happy birthdayMy boyfriend of 8 months dumped me on my birthday. Just after giving me the birthday bumps and a card. On the tube home I got elbowed in face by a fellow passenger who managed to break my contact lens while it was still in my eye. After rinsing my eye with about a million galleons of sterile water and still being able to feel a piece of lens in my eye I had to go to A&E as I had no doctor. after waiting there for ages they referred me to Moorfields Eye hospital, so part blinded I got on the tube and went there. 4 hours later they squirted orange dye into my eye and poked round the back of my eyeball with something that may or may not have been a cotton bud. Thanks to the lengthy waits I missed my own 21st birthday party.
