Last week's Text The Nation was about your birthday flipouts, tantrums and times when things didn't quite go how you'd hoped. You can still get involved and send your stories to adamandjoe.6music@bbc.co.uk for Retro Text The Nation on this Saturday's show.

Thanks to Andy from Preston for owning up to this birthday tantrum after losing out to his friend on a round of musical chairs. He says:Ìý
" Here is an audio clip pulled from a video of me ruining my sister Victoria's seventh birthday... this is the end of a game of musical chairs, you can hear my mum announcing that our friend Claire had won, and me being a bad loser and the only other remaining contestent, not to mention slightly jealous of all the attention lavished on Vic for her birthday, having a paddy and storming off. I was 8 then, and I'm 30 now but it still embarasses me... Enjoy! "Ìý

"I don't win these games anyway" *WAAAHHHH*
I can remember getting the bumps at school under protest and kicking up such a fuss the teacher came out. Everyone explained the situation but not wanting to back down I kept up the level of protest which resulted me being told off and having to spend my birthday lunchtime inside a classroom. At the time the teacher's reaction to my behaviour confused and angered me but it's a funny thing to look back on, what a twit face I was.
