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 birthdays used to always have a big drawbackExams. Every sodding year from starting primary school to year 10 mocks.
But this year was amazing. You may have seen a programme or two about stonehenge, and more specifically a new theory of how the stone were moved, using levers (very interesting site at www.stonehengineers.co.uk). And I was helping on a preliminary in Derbyshire on my birthday. Even had my cake on the stone as it was rowed at one point.
I also drove a vintage tram on the same day, but that's another tale.
