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)

Exactly right Sean.


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.


It's pretty much universal though.


If you organise your own birthday party then you are one of the people I mean....

    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
