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?

On my 25th birthday my friend tried to wipe out a village....I visited some family in Switzerland, and was taken to a breathtaking national park on the day of my birthday. Whilst we were gazing up the Matterhorn we noticed some small tumblings of snow. Followed by some bigger ones. Followed by the biggest landslide in a hell of a long time in Swiss history. Basically it changed scenery. My Swiss cousin tried to claim he was a close friend of various landslidy gods, but I didn't care. For my birthday that year I watched a mountain shed its skin. And it ruled.
