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?

Do Ex's Birthdays countMy ex's 21st birthday, we were both working in Northern Ireland, her at the large international airport, me at the little City airport for the MOD. I managed to wing a couple of tickets for a weekend in the Isle of Man.
She came down from her place and I made her do a warmer and colder search around the room for her presents, each on getting better. then took her to the airport, where, knowing the staff I had arranged a surprise. I made sure I had the window seat, and after we took off, the captain made his normal speech, then told everyone that there was a young girl onboard celebrating her 21st birthday. The whole plane sang happy birthday, and the stewardess served up the big chocolate birthday cake I had smuggled aboard to everyone.
When we arrived at the hotel in Douglas there was a big bouquet of roses and a bottle of bubbly.
That night it turned from her birthday on 13th Feb to 14th Feb, Valentines day, so I gave her a gold heart locket on the stroke of midnight.
Must have done to much as she asked me to marry her the next day !
Best birthday present she gave me ? the decree absolute 4 years later to the day, slag.
