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?

Metallica came to my Party, but I was asleepThere was a machinery breakdown at my work so we were forced to drink from opening time through to 4pm. I then staggered off to get my birthday present - a ticket to that nights Metallica concert. Caught the bus home, changed and drove my car a long way across the city to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre after stopping for necessary driving supplies of Jim Beam and Cola. At the concert I remember giving a very long winded and ramshackle explanation of the snakepit to the man and his young daughter next to me. I think there were a couple of loud bangs and people cheered then a sour old security guard woke me up.
