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?

My Seventh BirthdayI am the youngest of six kids. My Mom took us all up to the local shopping center to pick up my birthday cake and I went into one of the other stores with my Sister to see what toys they had.
My Sister left me in the store and got in the car and they all went home, leaving me behind.
Seven years old and on my own. The most terrifying 10 minutes of my then young life.
Fortunately Mom did a head count and came up short.
I'm better now thanks.
