I'll plump for my 4th birthday as the best
It must have been 1979, which I think was a particularly hot year. In any event, as the pictures attest my parents seem to have allowed me to spend my entire birthday party stark naked, those were the days. Maybe I should re-enact this at my next birthday gathering, what do you think?

I think my last birthday was the worst, I'd just split up with my girlfriend and decided to do the walking/camping holiday I'd planned with her on my own, over the weekend of my birthday (a bank holiday).

I knackered myself on the first day by trying to walk too far with too much kit. On the second day I was barely fit to drag myself to the nearest bus stop for the 2 hour wait for a Sunday bus.

I took the bus to Lyme Regis but couldn't find B&B accommodation at short notice and didn't feel up to the walk to the nearest camp site so got the train home a day early (£50 penalty fair).

The next day was my birthday, so I was alone, tired, aching and skint in my flat and all my friends had made other plans because I had told them I'd be away. In the end I did get one mat to come over for a bit but it really was the grimmest birthday I can remember.

That does indeed sound shit

It was.
Luckily I'm not too bothered about birthdays, it was just a shit weekend that happened to include my birthday. On the up side the next one almost has to be better.

That sucks on so many hilarious levels

That's the short version.
The long version is worse and possibly funnier, it involves trekking through the mist on an A Road in gathering darkness and throwing myself into the hedge whenever some head lights approach and also having to stand in the camp-site showers (thank god they had some) for 20 minutes before the hot water loosened my seized up leg muscles enough to let me stagger to a nearby pub for some dinner.

Next year will be awesome and not only because you will be spending it in the nude : )

I think the main advantage of my last birthday is that my next one can hardly fair to be better.

This is true.
