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?

Ooh, several of these...My mate's 19th birthday last year was subdued (hes not much of a party animal). However, the night was definitely improved by the amount of beer drunk. The birthday itself wasn't so good - The comment of another mate next morning, when I staggered into college very hungover at about 9 in the morning, makes it memorable. I plunk down, white as a sheet and trying not to open my mouth, when I'm greeted by the immortal words,
"God Andy...You look like ass."
And I did.
My 18th in was pretty good, more for the loot taken than anything else (although the night was particularly good). I woke up next morning to discover:
- A tower of kebab boxes built in the corner that rivalled the very best pagodas,
-Four of my mates sprawled randomly on the floor, possibly dead,
-Four traffic cones,
-The sign from the rock bar we'd been drinking at,
-Several road-blocks usually put around large holes in the road,
-That we'd put my parent's car up for sale with a large magnetic sign (same for my metal bedstead).
Thing is, when we were getting away with our ill-gained loot the night before, a police car had pulled up. The exasperated looking bobby simply leaned on his door and told us to put the stuff back. We did. Then got it again! We fought the law, and the law won, but then we did a double take. Ha ha ha.
