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?

17th SeptemberBest has to be my 21st where I had a joint party with the now ex. Everyone should get all there friends and family together in one room with alcohol and music at least once! We did a playlist for the DJ and spent the whole night dancing to indie and rock to the bemusement of various older relatives who didn't recognise any of the tunes. Although they joined in later on when the drink got flowing. The ex's dad went to France the wknd before so we could get champagne for everyone.
In close competition for best is my 19th when I went up town with my mates and no one took ID. I said we should call it a night when we got turned away but instead my mates mom picked us up and took us to all of our houses to get our ID. Felt really cool that my friends were prepared to do that for me and cheers to my mates mom.
And the worst? Well on my 5th there was a postal strike= no pressies or cards as family all quite far away. On my 16th I had to work and thought I must be having the shittest day ever waitressing for rude idiots then I heard Paula Yates died so I guess someone had a worse day. Finally on my 18th it was the petrol blockade- my birthday present? Driving lessons. Had to wait a month!
