Outstanding Birrddog, I have no argument with the method of ignition, only the method by which the food is cooked.
Now, get rid of that light stuff!
As for you Beagle; yep I can do that fire thing without matches, but it's a dead-set pain and, if there's damp around, how d'you like red meat?
I also doubt your civilised sensibilities could have handled one of the elders grabbing a 3ft-something-long frill-necked lizard by the tail, whirling it into the ground and throwing it on the coals; previously ignited by the 'no-matches' method. Tasty though, if you can ignore the ash.
I'd give the left one for a hard-back copy of FITH.
Finally, and despite your disdain from an 'aficionado's' perspective, 607 was good. My only complaint is that I'd like to have known where a brave bunch of aviators ended up in later years. I thought that the epilogue might have done that. Where's Tuxford and his crew? I'd really have liked to know what became of the likes of Ernie Wallace, Mick Beer and the Vulcan guys - particularly the back-seaters.

You're grilling bear?
Respect - that's truly hard core barbecueing!
Perhaps the Oz-mates will now ban the gassers' pyjama game and start an Ashes recovery plan?

CS958,
I humbly eat crow, feathers an' all. Congratulations to your boys on a magnificent win. I must admit, as much as it pains me, that Strauss did a first rate job as captain, led from the front and kept his cool. Broad, too, showed incredible maturity in this game. If he kicks on from here, I think you've got a very good all-rounder in the making.
No excuses, either, with the pitch - it was ordinary, but both sides had to bat on it. My one bitch is with our selectors, who should have played Hauritz. It may not have made a difference, but the pitch was a turner and we went in without a balanced attack. Does anybody have a good recipe for 'barbecued selector?' I think Ian Chappell's out buying the charcoal as I write.
As for the Rugby - gut-wrenching stuff. So near, yet so far..again. Now 4th in test cricket and 3rd in Tri-nations. How low can you go? Maybe we can do something in the synchronised swimming championships to revive national morale.
Oh well, at least we only cry in our beer for a day or so and then get over it.
I agree BEagle - time to ban the pyjama game and prepare a recovery plan. As alluded to above, the first initiative under said plan is to barbecue the selectors, who are clearly a bunch of tossing GASSERS.

BREAKING NEWS:
Security and trade in the Far East is under intense scrutiny since the recently announced reductions in the fleet of Kluge. It is now confirmed that the flagship liveaboard has indeed been purchased by Japanese interests. Rumours of Japan rebuilding its offensive blue water fleet capability have not been confirmed but are suspected.
As a regional counter balance it is rumoured that the primary pleasure vessel “43 foot blue water cruising sloop” is under consideration from Singaporean interests. Markets have reacted negatively to the news with values of Carlsberg, San Miguel and various Caribbean rum producers plummeting in overnight trade. Global demand for ginger beer is also expected to soften.
Flag officers of the yacht racing fraternity have yet to emerge from their respective club bars as they debate the serious implications to regional stability and beverage sales.
Sources close report the mood to be grave but may brighten during the next round of talks.
Anticipation mounts regarding the last BBQ'd meals to be served on the flagship.
Temporarily putting aside differences in fuel sources
, suggestions leading to the last 'end of an era' BBQ meals on board the flagship are invited from the auspicious contributors of this thread
Pictures of the suggested meals with the accompanying tipple may be posted.
The previous evening saw aged Canadian rib eye grilled medium rare au jus with garlic sautéed ‘shrooms, baby asparagus and fresh English mustard. Wine served was a Pio Cesare Barolo. Much pleasure was had

One has been handed the secret of brined pork chops. A real braai will be set up this weekend in a fire pit or an old oil drum and the results will be sampled.
Great win re the Ashes and a not so convincing win for NZ but the results still reflect eight points in the series. Can't wait to download the ARC commentary. Next game will be with live ARC commentary on the net and a pint in one's claw at the brewery.

Fcuk me kluge. I thought you were crazy, then re-read. Damn!
I honestly don't know whether I can make it. But, she who must be obeyed has just finished work. Tidy (but modest) little extra money. Always loved Honkers, and she deserves a break. This could be a crazy, bugger it, expedition.
I can't quite understand how you might lose the boat - unless it's live-aboard and renting. Regardless, take care.
I'm just about to suggest that we get "really selfish," hop on CX and leave the progeny behind.
I'll see how that works out. Haven't had a holiday in....forget.

er.. steady on old chap. Just looking for BBQ recipes to celebrate the final days on the liveaboard prior to a stint on terra firma.
Sold the boat(s) as part of a cunning long term plan that has a Memsahib approved aviation element to it.
Notwithstanding, if you are ever in HK it would be my pleasure to host you for dinner at one of "my clubs". But certainly NOT if you intend to act on your stated expedition goals
Of course with you being a nGU and the resulting need for me to remain annonymous, my dinner attendance would be via telephone proxy and your meal served by catapult.
Looking forward to recipes - "BBQ'd PPRuNes" perhaps.

Excellent!
With the the passing of the UK 3-day summer and the recent coming of the autumnal equinox, my faithful blackfellow was today given a pre-hibernation clean up and consigned to the back of the garage....
Hopefully the wobbly leg mount will survive the coming months; if not he will have to be put down and another One-Touch will be on its way next year.
Still, there are a few stubbies of VB and lots of Franziskaner in the fridge to keep me happy until barbi' time is here again.

BEags, BEags, why do you consign the old fellow to the garage for the winter?
A bit of cold and damp (much like the summer) should never put off the true fuel devotees. One is already planning for inter 6 Nation Snags and the like, not to mention the old Yuletide fowl.
And a winters coals can also be used to warm through various warming draughts once flesh is suitably grilled and consumed.
Webbering is for life not just a 3 day summer

Surely NOT! There are still a few weeks left for normal burning - but far more for night-turning! And, as you must surely acknowledge, better by GAS in the nocturnal timeframe!
Vangelis!!!

Jet Blast Nein Danke!
The noble cause of the barbi' is deeply enshrined in military aviation as is the ingenuity of military personnel in firelighting and beast cooking.
Call it practical survival training discussion.

'marinades' - special tools for BBQing at sea?
With happy ending 'rubs' for the charcoal users no doubt?

A bloody big driftwood campfire on a beach to stay warm more like! I've been thinking about sailing - but it's still too cold!
It will soon be warm enough for the inaugural meeting of the PPRuNe South China Sea beach bbq club. I suggest a lunch on a beach on a deserted island (Sunshine Island?) and a small race afterwards. We can try out the merits of the various cooking methods (i.e. driftwood/Weber Smokey Joe/Cobb etc) and the best beverage to accompany.
Where are you moored Kluge?
