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?

Okay, so she didn't actually DIE on my birthday....but my mother did choose my family birthday dinner to announce to us that she had been diagnosed with Cancer. Cue lovely family dinner wanting to come back out onto the table. Her excuse? "Everyone was together in one place" This messed up birthdays for me for several years and cost a pretty penny for the shrink. I now make up for this by making my birthday last at least a month. My birthday is the occasion for everyone to celebrate the joy that is in the world because I was born. Yeah!
