The Great British BBQ 2017 Edition

I'm in Liverpool all day tomorrow for my sins, I know it'll be a lovely day there, because I'm not pencilled in to go to any BBQ's

 

It's always sunny in Weymouth, just ask @Zanjinho

I actually banned the **** from ever visiting again, been sunny ever since.

Probably go in the sea next week, they have a pontoon about a 15 minute swim off the beach. I usually take a waterproof bag with a couple of spliffs in it and chill out there. Quite often a group of teenagers turn up to play 'pontoon wrestling', it's actually good fun. Not so good when you're ****ing baked and you have to swim back for 15 gruelling minutes after being clothes lined by a 15 year old! Good times though.

Not even sure what that has to do with anything on this thread ^^^ oh well.

 

I can hit a ball a mile with my driver and 3 wood . Best way to explain my golf game is I hit a beautiful drive on a par 5 last time out . Followed it up with a magnificent 3 wood that dropped on the green 25 feet from the hole . Then I proceeded to putt my eagle attempt off the green . Then had one of those one foot chip shots , then sculled the next chip shot past the green . Broke my chipping wedge over my knee and 3 putted from off the green till I finally got it in the hole , ended up with a triple bogie from a 25 foot putt for eagle .As BBQing , I can throw something on the BBQ and take it off in 10 seconds and it's burnt ... to much stress , I just won't do either

 

Just as well it wasn't sunny when he visited. He'd have had kids throwing water on him to keep the ****er alive or assumed he was the floating pontoon.

 

I don't do it so much these days, but we used to get absolutely baked before paddling out on big days down here. It was a bit of a bravado thing, who could take on the biggest wave whilst stoned. I remember losing my board (no leash) way out the back on a big one and then finding I had to swim across a hellish rip, before angling towards the beach. That must have been a 30 min swim, in big surf, not being able to stop for a breath because you'd get pulled across the beach to the cliff face because of the currents. I was seeing ****ing stars by the time my feet hit the sand.

Still like to have a cheeky little one before paddling out on small sunny days now though.

 

We had a work barbie this evening and our site engineer turned up with a Rustlers burger.

He's an extremely ****ing weird man.

 

Should have thrown him on the BBQ

 

I like him.

 

He genuinely didn't know it was a microwave burger either. He's odd, no doubt about it.

Took it out of the sealed plastic and recooked it. Then cadged actual food off everyone else.

 

I'm beginning to like this guy now

 

Doing my first official BBQ tomoro.

 

Ever?

 

Ok I'm done all prepped, marinades done beers chilled, coals ready, rum warming up, pump action water gun filled.

 

I like the last 2 things very much!

 

Gotta get the rum up to temp, got a Havana Club 7 year so will be having some neat and some with coke.

 

Yeah thanks for that, I'm sat in an office at work until 19:30 tonight. Then back in at 09:00 tomorrow until 19:30. On-call throughout that whole period too, so might end up going out during the night to let someone in that's forgot their keys.

Enjoy it though, have 6 rums for me

 

No. My first official one this year. With guests. Have fired it up twice so far though just for me and the Mrs.

Finish work in an hour. Plan to go home do some gardening. Then head to the supermarket, buy some boned chicken thighs, good quality sausages, then maybe some belly pork or ribs. Corn on the cob, then salad type stuff. Shall be making my tomato and red onion salad, which I shall pickle over night. Maybe some homemade slaw.

Do people prefer their corn boiled or done on the bbq? Or a bit of both?

 

With the corn I buy it with the Husk on and stick it on the bbq so the Husk protects the corn. Peel and Eat.

 

How long do they take?
