My beautiful Weber!
.....the non-coal barbi - only its third outing but, unlike its Oz cousin which died after 13 years, it is a dog......
If you look at the official Weber-site Home - Weber Barbecues & Products*, you can get the latest info about all available Webers, even those powered by the fuel of Satan's bottom....
Basically, I would recommend that you accept no imitations!
Incidentally, I'm glad to report that the VB is really rather good - thanks for the recommendation!

Congrats BEagle on taking up the challenge. While I will disagree and still think it's P155, you were gutsy enough to give it a go. Consequently, I respect your (somewhat puzzling) conclusion.

Couldn't have put it better myself!

Home final for the Bulls. It's going to be a hot time in the old town tonight. Pretty much IMC with the smoke from all the braais. The beer will flow like Mosi o Tunya and boerewors will be consumed by the nautical mile.

Not with that girlie braai involved. How can you take those okes seriously when they obviously have no idea about real braais?
Bloody Castle drinkers. End up looking like this...

Ag, bru, the film was made in London, Engalnd; digging up the garden and using left over bits of building site to build one of your ethnic braais wouldn't have been very popular with the neighbours!
A Saffer mate reckoned that some of those at the braai were probably, shall we say, gas lovers...
Well, Dame Nature has at last decided to smile once more on British West Oxfordshire, so the noble blackfellow has been getting a fair bit of exercise over the last couple of days.
I'm almost down to my last 6 stubbies of VB as well....
How was the game, SRT?
Hi CB, see you and your lovely 'Tin Triangle' next weekend!*

Didn't see the game but got the updates on line as it progressed. Got a bit nail biting but all worked out OK.
Gas lovers, eh? Figures. Definitely don't want to drop your sosatie with those folks hovering about in the background.......

I do hope you were wearing your blue singlet(vest), stubbies(too short too tight shorts) and thongs(flip flops) whilst consuming the Bogan juice known as VB.
As a pukka true blue little aussie the discerning ale drinker of downunder would go for one of the Cooper's families nectar drops or a Little Creatures collection.
Net nanny has just highlighted Beagle and thong????

Nope, the full 'Donk' lookalike costume might be OK in Walkabout Creek, but not here in British West Oxfordshire!
Where it's b£oody raining again....
A misunderstanding once arose when an Oz mate described the hot weather we were experiencing as "Singlets and thongs weather" - he hurriedly explained that 'thongs' in Oz often means footwear and not those bits of coloured dental floss worn by some women......

The Perfect Weekend?
My fellow Weberists (and devotees of the one true fuel),
I believe I have just experienced what could possibly be described as the perfect weekend. Took Glide Junior to Twickers for the weekend to watch the IRB Sevens. Having dispatched Australia in the Cup Semi-Finals, we watched as England duly dispatched the Kiwis in the final. Slow trip home to Glide Towers on Monday where, upon arrival late PM, one discovered that not only had the Salad Maker done just that, she had also replenished the stocks of Fiddlers Elbow, obtained flesh for the grill AND cut the grass
Rugby (winning), Beer, a lit Weber, and somone else mowed the lawn. I submit to you the perfect weekend?

Indeed. And what perfect bank holiday weekend wx it was too.
My first UK spring in nearly 20yrs, grilled cow with Spitfire(*) ale to boot listening to rythmn and blues. Simply sublime.
Is this really the England of my youth. Nay lad.
It was pi$$ing it down first thing this morning. That's more like it.

They're even producing blue boerewors in honour of the Bulls taking on the Chiefs in the Super 14 final on Saturday...
Fortunately most of the boerewors yardage will be grilled on the real thing and not in The Devil's Scrotum.

SRT,
We have just finished our warm-up for the final, which included a hunk of beef, plenty of roast potatoes, non-Gas Webering, and, for the information of BEagle, non-VB beer.
Despite your predeliction for your 'braais,' and your reluctance to follow the one true faith in devotion to the glorious orb, I wish the Bulls well: it'll be 0130 before we see the game here, but I'm staying up, or maybe lying down, to watch it.
Damn, I wish I could have got some of those boerewors for the atmosphere, but we don't have the practitioners here.
Anyway, good luck to the Bulls. Hope you enjoy the game.

Excellent day it was on Sunday! Thanks to the kind generosity of ramshornvortex and his colleagues, I had a great time showing some ex-ULAS folk around his mighty Vulcan at Wellsebourne Mountford - XM655 is in fine form!
Then back to spark up the trusty blackfellow and sample a VB or two whilst waiting for the True Fuel to come up to the right temp to cook a couple of Bratwurst and some Bratkartoffeln.

Ta, Mr Howabout...!
A great game by all accounts. 61-17 the final score. I missed the game being out here in the desert in my little container and all but not too sorry I missed the huge hangovers that followed.
A yard of boerie and a sosatie would have been nice though.
Sounds like a good day out Beags. A coupe of kasegriller and a barrel of weissbier would have rounded it off nicely. One is particularly fond of the Thuringi bratties.

Normally I'd indeed have had some Erdinger Hefe-Weißbier, but it was a choice between VB and Stella 4% as I'd run out!
I haven't found anywhere in the UK which sells Käse-Griller, unfortunately.
