Thanks to all from me as well.
I had made a reservation in a German restaurant where they had an Octoberfest theme going. I made the mistake of telling them about my birthday

The leader of the band took me on stage, had the whole restaurant sing Happy Birthday for me and then made me drink a 0.5l beer bottoms up (it would have been easier if it hadn't been quite so cold; I mean the beer). It was all in good fun though.
