I have a few questions. It's IT Helpdesk's birthday today, and he was mentioning that a) he has received no presents so far, and b) he reckons he's not gonna get lucky at all. This raises the question of rules. Should birthday rules be put in place?
Another annual event that seems to have rules attached to it is Valentine's Day. If you're attached, it's the rule that you pay your other half lots of attention and give them flowers/chocolate/a shag - there's no questioning of these rules, and they are strictly adhered to. So why is it different for birthdays?
When I was younger, there was an unspoken rule that I didn't have to do any housework on my birthday, and I always received a chocolate cake. At this later stage in my life, I expect those rules to be maintained, with the addition of a) receiving presents and b) getting lucky. I imagine that these rules aren't Bazza specific, and can be translated to other people, so I am proposing that they are put in place for all who celebrate a birthday, indefinitely.
Additionally, I'd like to question the main birthday rule; that is, once a year, on the day of your birth, you celebrate your birthday. What's the deal with this anyway? It's completely unfair to people like me who are cursed with a birthday 2 weeks after xmas - I'd like to propose that such unfortunates as me can have a mid-year birthday. Like xmas in July. I don't see a problem with that.

I feel sorry for my father. His birthday is on boxing day - ergo he actually receives his birthday presents on xmas day and NO ONE visits him on his birthday.
Where are the rules for people like this?? Surely they should be able to nominate a day later on in the year that they can have as their substitute birthday??
You my friends, must tick the life box to celebrate "Festivus" as I and many of my followers do.
Festivus is a month long celebration of the birthday person in question. For example, for Bazza's birthday it would be called "Bazza Festivus" and would be celebrated from the 1st of January through the 31st (with the pinnacle of course being the 8th). This allows for a month of spoiling and disallows any of the aforementioned 'birthday avoidance techniques' ie. if you can't make the pinnacle, you celebrate with the Festivusee the weekend/day before after or several weekends/days before after.
If other events happen to fall in your month of Festivus that's ok, as long as you are recognised at said event and someone buys you a beverage of choice. If it's a major event that most people (including stragers) are celebrating, it is obviously still a celebration of you and must be marketed by you personally and your followers as such so that as many people as possible know (including stragers).
Follow these rules and you'll be on the path to birthday enlightenment, with years of celebrations ahead of you (literally).
MY MUM SAYS: if you think you're getting another birthday then think again!firstly do we reschedule the birth? in which case,fuck off ..or do we falsify your birth certificate which i've lost or written a recipe on and posted to Thats Life or do we just put some sob story on a blog and hope the bazza smile will tug a few heart strings. i'm your mother and i'm not buying it.(or another present)
