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 16th was the besti was on holiday on the kenyan coast with my family, and on that day we took a trip out to a reef island where we snorkelled.
and swimming off a coral reef in tropical waters has to be one of the most incredible experiences out there.
also i got to go skuba diving for a while as well, and swam just a couple of feet above one of those amazingly deadly and beautiful lion fishes, which was rather cool.
the rest of the day was spent in the 'usual' manner: relaxing on the beach, eating mango, etc etc.
i think it'll be many a year before that birthday is beaten.
