    Just after speaking to a friend of mine, it's his birthday today, he reckons it's the worst day of the year to have as a birthday, he reckons even if it was Christmas day or around then people would be in better form, a few days later and people would be used to being back to work.

    I tend to agree with him, everyone is down cause of going back to work/sick of going out/no money left, even if his birthday was yesterday (Bank Holiday) or tomorrow (second day back to work). The other options that I would see as bad would be around the 1st of September (schools going back) although that wouldn't be an issue once you grow older, the 25th of December cause of the dreaded double gift. Anyone any thoughts on the worst day of the year to have as your birthday?

    Any day in January, people are miserable and are broke after Christmas.

    I have to do a leaving cert exam on my 18th. Somehow I don't think anyone's coming out to celebrate with me that week.

    29th of Feb can be changed to either the 28th or the 1st and you get to have a big deal made out of it every 4 years.
    Having your birthday during exams will only be a pain while your doing exams, once you don't have those anymore May is a nice month to have a birthday.

    Every other year of your life it's in the middle of summer though, so that's alright.

    Mine is the 2nd of Jan.
    Only ever good for taking down the tree or going back to work.
    Just celebrate it New Years Eve, close enough.

    Aye, but only when they are playing underage, some study has found that players born in Nov/Dec are actually better at senior levels, has to do with them having to work harder underage at the skills to make up with the difference in physicality.

    I'd love to have been born on February 29th. If I held out a little bit longer I'd be turning 7 next month instead of 28.

    Start of January's not the worst, good time to throw a New Years party a few days before the birthday.
