I never get that. Maybe I feel like there's genuine affection there.

If I don't get a decent bash for my 40th next year I will be gutted!

Thanks
I went out in washington with some mates, got mortal drunk on LCL and southern comfort, I passed out, my mates put me in a shopping trolley and took me home - I woke up and spewed all over myself, they rang the doorbell and ran away.

Needless to say my poor old mam went friggin' mental.

I got a camera. Canon 3500, to use at university. Took loads of pictures of drunken girls, before finally dropping the camera off a boat in Fiji. It's probably still down at the bottom of a gloriously blue sea somewhere around the Yasawa islands.

The 21st was a much bigger do for me.

it's nothing to do with affection...it's being the centre of attention...I sometimes like that, but only if it just kinda happens cause I am in the right mood...not just cause it happens to be my birthday so therefore it's all about me...hate that

My aunt's husband always used to get me a pair of socks...I'm sure he'd get me a new pair if I have another birthday party...
