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?

Mehfor the last five years, on every single birthday I was moving (house, office). I didn't plan for it, it just turned out like this.
(Five years ago, I moved to a new house with my girlfriend.
A year later, I started my company and moved into my first office.
Another year later, I'm moving office to another part of town.
Another year later, I'm moving out of said office (okay, this was the day before my birthday, but the boxes and the mess weren't gone by then), now working at home.
Last year, I moved into another house.)
I'm really looking forward to celebrating my birthday in February without piles of boxes as the only available furniture.
I wonder if I will ever be able to celebrate a normal birthday, without the urge to pick up boxes all the time or eating cake from a plastic plate...
