So what's being "iffily" advertised that's out of context with the content then ?

Italian sausages on the Bushman tonight - and a Chianti

And, POP, it's the only thread with a decent bit of banter running through it.

Spare the Weber thread, please.

taxydual, funny you should mention that....

Last week I was talking to some aviation chums - they agreed that the PPRuNe Military forum is no longer the pleasant 'e-crewroom' it once was. Too many moaners and spiteful, vitriolic barbs from those who don't understand the difference between the robust good humour of banter and abusive insults.

Remember threads such as "Who's in the bar tonight' and 'The 1Gp Dining-In Night'? Classics!

Pop, to be 100% certain we understand, when you refer to Ads, do you mean the links to various suppliers etc?

The only reason I bought a BBQ beginning in 'W' and ending in 'eber' was down to this thread. Does that make it one big advert??

...and for my part, the only reason I mentioned the chaps I bought my "Andrew Lloyd" from - (won't mention them again, don't want to incur the wrath of P. Pop! ) - was to highlight the massive difference in shipping costs from the guys Co-Captain mentioned, albeit to a non-UK address. BTW, upon opening said W***r, I discovered some damage, which was put right pdq after a quick email to the supplier - top service!!

37 degrees here today, the charcoal could probably self-ignite!

I should think the world knows about Weber by now! It is a good BBQ!

No, it is suppliers and such - beer is a moot point.

A couple of us posted links to on-line Weber sites; I did it to help someone source a replacement front leg and TT just wanted to show the difference between UK and Spanish prices.

Posts now edited. Move along, sir, nothing more to see.......

Or, to quote Eccles BEagle, 'moob along, moob along.'

I also support your sentiments as regards 'fun' as oposed to vituperative threads. This one takes some beating and comes down to good-natured banter.

PS Have you sourced that vile P155 of Satan yet?

Nope, I'm currently in the land of real beer - Southern Germany!

Hmmm - seems like a non inflationary previous post of mine regarding a "moot point" and not intentional product promotion has mysteriously vanished ?

And it was prefaced "respectfully" too.

PPRuNe Pop - care to advise why please ?

"Blond genug" indeed


NO! Btw, I am not blond!

.............NEWS FLASH..............NEWS FLASH................NEWS FLASH.....

I have heard from a reliable source that STBD BEAM has not had his charcoal monster alight this season yet due to him being too senior in years and too wobly on the old Stella/MooseMilk combination to be trusted with a can of lighter fuel and a match. Furthermore there is a whisper going around that he has been spied in ALDI looking at cut-price bargin special gas appliances. How can this be true?? More scandalous than an MP completing his Commons JPA claim!!

My son recently bought a Dancook Kettle BBQ

Dancook

(BTW although the guy in the picture looks a bit iffy but my son is straight.)

Son claims that his Dancook is superior to my Weber.

Any thoughts

extpwron,

I think the bit in the Dancook blurb regarding 'the big selection of tools' kinda says it all. One of them appears to be doing the cooking. The author of the blurb would also appear to need a course in remedial English. If their advertising is that sh@thouse, God alone knows what the product is like.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the male model is from that pitiable breed known as GASSERS.

(No offence intended towards your son - he just made an unfortunate selection)

There is the mighty orb and then there are the imitators.

As an A4 lead, inbound to the target, said one day when his wingman alerted him to a pursuing Mirage, who had spotted them when on CAP, - 'he's no threat.'

How, pray, do you get the ash out of those things?

I see no Weber-style paddle or ash catcher on that Dancock thing.

Avoid imitations!!

BEagle,

Must be by using one of the 'many tools' that Dancock advertises. I'd suggest that the Swedish male model in the dress serves the purpose.
