BEagle, a few entries back, in relation to your brother, you said:
And they are still married?????
Cirrus F, lighten up - we do this for fun. Plus the thread is the embodiment of 'popular demand.' If it wasn't popular it would have died.
And, by the way, it's not just the RAFor the POMS; this is a Global fixation.
She even started putting food in the beer fridge

As in black globe!
Yes, the food was soon evicted from the beer fridge, much to the delight of the spaniels who intercepted much of it, and normal order was soon restored!

Then, BEagle, I trust that she was suitably chastened and has not re-offended. At the very least, I would have had her on probation for a year. To defile a beer-fridge with food beggars belief. It's akin to holding the short form of game above the longer; or, dare I say it, using GAS in the mighty orb.
Come to think of it, that's another connection. I wouldn't mind betting that the GASSERS, who slavishly follow the pyjama game, are so under the thumb that they meekly allow their 'partners' - and I use that term because I have to make allowances for the possibility that some of them are same-sex couples - to use a fridge supposedly dedicated to beer for other purposes. Talk about lack of moral courage.

Yoy probably have a point there - I imagine that those who are converts to the fuel of Satan's bottom are probably equally fond of the pyjama game.
Floodlighting, white balls, and powder blue or cerise pyjamas? Despite KP's efforts, it simply isn't cricket.

My home team have just booked themselves a Super 14 home semi final as well as being top of the log. No doubt much revelry will follow around (real) braais tonight, and the fatted calf will be suitably dismantled and lightly tanned with just a hint of chili and garlic.
As is usual in that neck of the woods, those mincers who use a Weber will be made to sit with the women and drink rotten fruit juice while the men discuss the game over a few jars.

SRT,
Firstly,
Congratulations on the Bulls' result - thoroughly deserved. They've been the standouts this season.
However, there is a strong rumour doing the rounds that you are going to withdraw from S14 and play in the girls' competition. Something to do with time zones. Tell me it ain't true. There's three countries that play Rugby like it should be played - not the 10 man variety with endless kicking, and some poof that clasps his hands together.
As regards the Weber, and your comments; I hope you enjoyed your 'braais' and the lack of women. If you prefer males, I understand totally, and that's your choice.
Just ain't my scene.

Howabout.....
The thing has been sorted. We appear to be sticking with the SH. Not sure where the glitch snuck in to make it appear SA was going to be playing with the girls. Could have been a rumour spread by the Ozmates to nobble the competition. Sneaky bugger, yer Ozmate.....
Ladies go to a braai to eat the salads they so lovingly prepared and to carp at the blokes about their beer and meat consumption on the way home. They tend to gather in their own flocks to kvetch about their boyfriends/husbands, leaving the blokes to get ratted and frighten their doctors with the amount of cholesterol consumed.

OK, SRT,
Once again, congrats on the result. I will be supporting the team this end. We don't have a finisher, so we have to pick one as I have a house full of rugby nuts.
I need a variation on the beer I drink when I arc up my beloved Weber. We can now get all varieties. I even had some Red Stripe (West Indies - James Bond and all that).
The local importer has all types. So, I am figuring on arcing up the mighty orb (non-gas) for the final when the Bulls get through - which they will.
So, as much as it pains me that we don't have a team in the finals, I have to have a side and figure that when I watch I should also be drinking an appropriate brew.
What should I seek?

As far as the tinned stuff goes, give Windhoek a try. It's a Namibian beer brewed according to the reinheitsgebot and probably the best of the commercially brewed disasters.
Should be an interesting game. If there's a Saffer butchery in those parts, try to get a yard or three of boerewors. Don't overcook it or it becomes dry. Slightly undercooked is best. Tomato and onion gravy and a wedge of sadza completes the effort. Enjoy and spot you in the long grass for a jar or twelve some time.

God knows when I'll next be able to spark up the noble blackfellow.
There's a low pressure area like a zebra's ar$ehole just to the west of Ireland right now - and all we've had is cold weather and rain from the Atlantic for the past 6 days.... With more to come.
Still, there's lots of VB in the beer fridge! You can get Windhoek in the UK, but it's about 60% more expensive than VB; real German beer is much about the same price as VB.

Ag, bru....
There's a little place a couple of miles from here which sells Windhoek at £1.35 (17.7 Rand) for a 340ml bottle - and Baynhams traditional boerewoers for £7.99 (104.8 Rand) per kilo.
How does that compare with your prices?

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
One thing that picked our curiousity from time to time ws the carriage of the BBQ briquettes. Every time we came back from Kef the backend was always full of briquettes and BBQs.
One flight though the skipper threw a wobbly and refused to allow the BBQ lighter fluid on board.
And then the steaks. Pure bliss, but that was pre-BSE.

Unfortunately, after a particularly greedy Nimrod crew virtually cleaned Kef out of steaks, the Commissary was put off limits to Brits...
I wasn't keen on 'self-lighting' briquettes being brought back from the States(particularly before smoking was banned) - but the only thing I ever refused to bring back was solid rocket propellant!
And for the bitter and twisted idiot out there, you don't have to read this thread. And it's 'Weber', not 'webber', by the way......

I suspect your use of the phrase

There's been a serial troublemaker about in recent days who is determined to cause problems. However, I understand that his IP is known and a watch is being kept in case he appears again.
Others might noteice that certain people have disappeared of late - it is so naive to think that a PPRuNe identity is completely anonymous.
Anyway, which particular aspect of beer, braais and banter does NOT have anything to do with military aviation?

Fook Oi sideways, Beags!
That's about three times the price of the stuff in SA. Place close to me by name Mader's makes boerie as thick as a baby's arm. Shove two foot of that in a baguette with half a bottle of Colman's Hot English mustard and yer done for the day.......

Oz mates have been and gone. VB was voted truly excellent by Poms 'n Aussies alike. Weather was c**p, as (oh, I hate to say this) was the non-coal barbi - only its third outing but, unlike its Oz cousin which died after 13 years, it is a dog (Outback rubbish). Hate to say this, but may have to consider the acquisition of another black thing. Or maybe a better, and more expensive, gas baby? Advice SVP.

Flavoured Coal
As far as coal/heat beads, briquettes are concerned - you cant beat them, but DONT get the 'flavoured' ones - I'm getting a little sick of the 'mesquitte' taste of a nice bit o' meat....and just 'cos the package has a map of Oz on it, it doesn't mean that we actually use that type of stuff. - the same goes for BBQ brands, beer, some wine and other 'outdoor' products.
I'm Oz and proud of it - and I don't do GAS!, although I sometimes cannot hide the effect of a slab of VB the following morning.
