Yup, 2 weeks later I did something with some mates;
Basic timetable for the evening
Shisha
Theatre
Dinner
Back to Niddles'
Shisha
My first experience of Shisha in the UK and t'was OK. I loved the whole atmosphere but the actualy baccy on the shisha was rather bad. Not bad, crap. I still have a bad throat.
Theatre
Stomp Rules. Stomp does actually rule above all other Musicals in the world. It's undescribable. Just see it.
Dinner
Dinner at the ever-so-hip Rock Garden restaurant in Covent Garden rocked. Muchly. 7 friends singing Happy Birthday to you was nice, especially when you're surrounded by 4+ waiters/waitresses also singing. I rock.
Back to Niddles'
Get home at 0100 after a trek from Central London to Ealing by Tube. By now we'd shed two of the group since there wasn't enough room in m house for everyone, and my mum would have gone apeshit if I brought back more than 4 people for sleep.
T'was at this point at which the evening started. 5 Veerry tired 16 year old guys sit in a room hardly bigger than 2m x 4m (my eerr 'Playroom') watching La Haine. During La Haine, people started pushing past the sleep barrier (The time at which you stop fealing tired and instead are stupidly hyper), so we started playing various mindless games on my XBox and listening to unhealthily loud Drum and Bass on my newly-bought 440W Speakers. By about 5:45am (Sunrise - Fasting starts for Saturday) I get something to eat and we all sit around the TV watching MIB2. EVERYONE falls asleep. I am sleeping on the floor, next to the TV William's sleeping next to me (:-P). In a space about 1.5m wide. Seb's on the Sofa (little wonker :-P) and Sam's sleeping next to Sofa and next to feet. Nikolai, on the other hand, slept on the floor in my room, 'coz he went to bed early (4am), under the assumption everyone would be sleeping in my room. We didn't.s

By 11 everyone was up and awake. Enough time for a round of 4-Player 50 frag Halo before everyone left.
It rocked. Muchly.

I was at college and a couple of my mates were at a seperate college so I'd made quite a few friends at the time. There were a few relatives and some friends-of-friends, too, but I knew everyone one way or another.

It wasn't
My 16th birthday, there were three of us, everyone else had exams that day, but it was still great. My 17th there were about 10 of us, 18th we went out, 19th was the crazy BBQ where my mates tried to set fire to everything in sight. Ah, happy memories... apart from tidying up. I *always* get left tidying up, except when Wal stopped by to "help" after I'd already finished once.
The best one was my 21st when I invited 60 (yes: sixty) people and all but one person turned up, some of them bringing a few friends too - imagine over 60 people singing 'Happy Birthday'! It was a bloody great night and I didn't touch a drop of alcohol the whole night ...
I can assure you that you (MoJoJoJo) spent more on alcohol than my thing-ma-bob :-D

Your quite informative aren't you??
Jesus! For my 16th we started drinking Bud at 9 in the morning before hitting each other with boxing gloves and moving on to the vodka. 5 bottles of beer and 9 shots of vodka later, we were watching Reservoir Dogs before my mum got back from work, saw how absolutely plastered I was, and threw my mates out. Went to bed at about 4pm, threw up a lot, woke up and watched Bravo Two Zero. Had a GCSE History exam the next day. Which I failed. No surprise.
Now THAT'S a 16th birthday party.
