How did you celebrate your last birthday?
Sharing plastic cups and a bottle of Prosecco on the train to a city-break with your friends?
Requesting 50 Cent's 'In Da Club' on a night out just so your friends can rap to you the line 'We gon' party like it's your birthday' as you attempt a twerk on the dance floor?
