Meant for the lounge:-


I had my last ever birthday party when I was 18. Some people have one for their 21st. Ok.


Absolutely last forgivable birthday is 30th but I really don't know why you'd want to do it.


I can't stand the whole 'but you have to it's my birthday' attitude.


If you ever find yourself saying something to that effect then you should take a step back and give yourself a serious dressing down.


Agreed?

I hate the smug self satisfied 'it's my birthday' look on people's faces and the way they nurse their dregs waiting for their next birthday drink. Or worst of all when they sulk about someone not coming or the lack of cards or whatever.


If you really want to celebrate your birthday then you should take your Mum out. She did the hard part- and I don't just mean letting your Dad have a go on her...

TO be fair to Alan, I know what he is talking about. Most of us use it as today's excuse for a boozeathon but one or two people I know (including family members) really do take it upon themselves to grab a moment in the spotlight (which is ok) but make everyone feel like sh one t if they don't reeeally put themselves out (not so good)

My closest friends don't celebrate their birthdays.


My experiences of people who misbehave on their birthday are old friends, friends of friends and colleagues.

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying.
