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?

9 years difference21st : Only surviving photo is of me at a nightclub. Rather drunk. Surrounded by a troupe of (1st class) strippers.
30th : Married with kids - picked up a dose of the chicken pox from my daughters a few days before. Unable to sleep due to the unbearable itching, I ended up seeing in the dawn reading a Feynman book and marvelling at the neighbourhood's cats dancing on our lawn in the first rays of the sun. Really quite stunning.
