My beautiful Weber!
OFBSLF, absolutely, paper and chimney the way to go. perhaps BEags is straying a little close to the 'other side' with his use of firelighters and gloop?
Just watched Lions lose to the Boks so am a little depressed but nothing a few flagons of ale will not cure. Chimney about to be lit with Bratties, Frikadallen and sections of cow to be grilled. Earlier this afternoon had the delight of the BBMF Spit doing a flypast of a local school fete (Aviation Link
). Preparing grill on a summers afternoon with the sound of a pulsating Merlin in the air, does not get much better. Oh and Glidette has cut the lawn for me so I do not have to do that as well

Sounds idyllic - apart from the Lions' defeat..
Gloop, True Fuel and some bratties later this evening - with a VB stubby or 2 as I'm out of Krautbier, unfortunately.
Wonderful howl from a quad of Olympussies at just before 1400 as XH558 bellowed her way airborne and off to Biggin.
There - does that aviation link keep the latest lurking AIDU clone happy?

PdV has taken a World Cup winning team and turned them into a bunch of shambling amateurs. What was Schalk (Mong) Burger thinking gouging eyes less than a minute into things? Fecking Crab Stick rugby. Turn the Bulls loose on the Lions to have a real game rather than the charade we have at the moment.
Oh, the shame.....
At least we still have boerewors and sosaties with which to drown our sorrows.

That game was not good for my anxiety. 'twas once again a different bok side than the first 60 minutes of last weeks game.
Off to by some hardwood charcoal, at the beach for a few days with my trusty weber that gets the charcoal started by the fuel from satans bum.
Tenous aviation link, that guy who flew past abeam my deck at 30' ASL why don't you come over and we can discuss that maneuver over a braai? (I'm thinking of a spit roast)/

You want to spit roast a guy? Is this because your near the sea? Or does Weber ownership involve a different type of manliness altogether?
I think there is far too much talk about man Braa 's on this thread.

Perhaps it loses something in the translation on the opposite sides of the Atlantic:
One of the joys/rituals of grilling is the application of a match to a well-soaked pile of charcoal and seeing if one is fast enough that the resulting "Whoomph!" doesn't get the eyebrows.
Maybe that's just me...

Hey, Brick - we'd wondered where you'd been. Still sipping mojitos?
'Spit roasting a guy' does, one understands, imply quite appalling gas practices this side of the pond...
GPMG - man braais!! There's nothing 'Top Gun', sweaty blokes and volleyball about this thread - amongst the True Fuel aficionados, that is!

No mojitos for a few weeks. A taste for Belgian ales for the time being.
Some flesh from the oinker on this evening's menu.
Cheers all.

SRT,
I now understand your misgivings regarding PdV. He ain't Eddie Jones' love-child by any chance? You're right, the Bulls would give any international side a fair run for their money.
Thankfully, under Deans, we are coming out of a prolonged and embarassing slump. Still a lot of work to do, but the team of today and three-years ago is chalk-and-cheese stuff.
I talked to the Weber today and put it on notice that premier performances are expected during Tri-Nations. It channelled, through the dog, that it would cooperate to the max providing I didn't contemplate, ever, converting to the dark side. The dog, in channelling back, had problems conveying to the Weber the connection between 'poof' and GAS. I think he had a degree of confusion between ignition noise and what I actually meant.

I get the idea PdV is going to lose us the Tri-Nations. The team is not ready to face the Wallabies, let alone the Blackness.
Deans needs to remove his digit if he wants to take on the ABs on home turf.
Got a little bag of seasoning at a local spice stall while buying books at the flea market. Bloke guarantees I'll be back for more. One will anoint some lamb chops and have at it later today.

SRT,
Your first and second paragraphs are somewhat contradictory. I suspect that the little bag of seasoning may have contained some magic mushrooms.
Don't worry about Deans; he's doing just fine. Like a racehorse trainer bringing his charges to their peak for the contests that count. The groundwork's been done; we now work on putting it all together. It's been logical and measured progress and I think we are going to give you guys some very serious problems.
Once we fly in (relevance) and get down to business we'll see who's got the goods.

Taking note of PdV's coaching achievements I reckon we might just hold the Wallabies but the Blackness may be too much to handle. No contradiction. Bluster and excuses don't win games and hopefully he'll learn that before it's too late.
Bag of spice contains too much aniseed. Non-starter.
Perhaps a couple of pork chops for lunch - salt, pepper, ginger, apricot jam and butter liberally spread on them, wrap in foil then let them stew gently over low heat to the side of the main attraction for an hour or three. Should fall off the bone if done right.

Those porkies sound good SRT - I've the ideal quiet, low heat spot on my Outback. Probably give my visiting Canberrian a go this weekend, along with a couple of VBs ahead of the McGuigans. Should enjoy plenty of catch-up gassing -----

Just keep the rind turned towards the heat source to protect the meat and crisp the rind a little, particularly near the end. Whip them out of the foil for a quick browning if needed and pour the juices over them before serving. Works well in a frying pan as well for those plagued by the three day British summer.
One will reserve comment on the gas thing...

Hot and sticky down here; after working all morning the clinking of ice cold VBs in the beer fridge beckoned - so lunch was much enhanced by a stubby of the amber nectar!

I think it was 'Lion' lager, actually.

A gnat's pubic hair better than Castle but still pretty vile....
Spent some time on Tristan and the only beer on the island was Harp Lager. It's rare one finds something worse than Castle but needs must. The local blokes would swig a can in three gulps so I guess taste was merely a sideshow to the real business of getting ratted.
