It's my birthday and I'm pissed off, all my plans are cancelled (yes, I know bigger things going on, I get it etc etc, meant to be light hearted) AIBU to crack open the bubbles at 12?
YANBU - Its your birthday, get as drunk as you like!
YABU - Don't be a ridiculous piss head, have some decorum.

Do it! I may join you!

I found a bottle of champagne in a cupboard I was cleaning out yesterday. Obviously cleaning stopped. Champagne was popped. Was about midday I believe.

Best pandemic moment so far.

Well apparently 110% of people think you should crack on according to the poll. Happy Birthday

AnduinsGirl · 06/04/2020 11:57

Do it! And happy birthday! Have you got someone to share it with? Is it a nice bottle? My DP did the shopping at the weekend from M and S and came back, pleased as punch, with a bottle of their lovely Delacourt which we had that night. Was awesome and felt like a lovely treat in these shit times.

YADefinitelyNBU!

I’ve had a Prosecco brunch in the week once already since lockdown proper, and had the odd glass of wine or beer mid to late afternoon, and it’s nowhere near my birthday. It’s nice to have a treat, and puts me in mind of a relaxed holiday with all its little luxuries...

🎈🧁🍾happy birthday 🍰🎉💐

Happy birthdayWine
It was my birthday on Friday. I had champagne for breakfast. Later on I had a virtual party with my friends plenty of drink was consumed.

Redcrayons · 06/04/2020 11:59

Happy birthday!
What else have you got going on today?

BurnIt · 06/04/2020 12:00

@ffsffsffs would love to know how you lose a bottle of champagne 😂😁😂😁🥂🥂🥂

Badabingbadabum · 06/04/2020 12:00

It's my birthday on friday. It was my brother's 30th on saturday. He ordered a pizza and watched some tv with a beer as he lives on his own. I might do champagne at midday too!

Happy birthday, OP

Happy Birthday!

Sackofspuds · 06/04/2020 12:01

Go ahead

murasaki · 06/04/2020 12:02

Go for it. Both my sis and I did on our birthdays (both last week) via skype, it was fun.

murasaki · 06/04/2020 12:03

And happy Birthday! It will be odd, but chat to your friends, drink fizz, and it's really not the worst birthday I've had.

FiveShelties · 06/04/2020 12:03

Happy Birthday - it is 11.02pm in NZ so a perfect time to open the bottle.

Cheers Grin

BuffaloCauliflower · 06/04/2020 12:03

Enjoy yourself! I hope you’ve got some chocs and fancy food as well.

AdoptedBumpkin · 06/04/2020 12:03
