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?

Big Birthday Biff!Not the best birthday but quite a funny one:
Among my group of friends we have a long running tradition of presenting each other with novelty spliffs as birthday presents. This could be anything from windmills, moustaches, tulips, anything goes really as long as it is amusing.
A few years back for my 22rd birthday my friends managed to construct a large 40cm reefer. They presented this to me alongside a novelty sized Zippo lighter as my birthday present.
I picked up the lighter and the spliff… then, for some inexplicable reason the music from 2001 Space Odyssey begin to play on the TV, we turned up the volume and I dramatically raised the spliff to my mouth, took a drag and exhaled at the precise moment the music reached the end of its cymbal crashing climatic intro.
Unfortunately I had misjudged the music slightly and was forced to hold the drag longer then expected… I collapsed in a fit of coughs as my mates wet themselves laughing!
