Coff, Just caught the TX on stud 2, Lamb and trimmings successfully delivered in Pig on't hill this evening. Genuine lack of Cypriot wine, spirit and beer, but who cares

East Sussex gay pride day was it, CS?
Plenty of mince on that piece of gas-faggotry kit of yours, no doubt...
Charcoal cooked chicken and pepper kebabs, pitta bread and tzatziki here - but no vile Cypriot fluids!

Reporting in ...............
great afternoon/ evening: local butcher's sausages and seared bacon butties as starters ............ the aroma really gets the taste buds drooling. Lamb chops, chicken drumsticks in secret formula marinade, spare ribs, par-boiled sliced potatoes finished in foil dish to crisp the outsides.
England taking ten wickets in just over a session and then a Trott go-slow.
Average consumption rather more than one bottle good red biddy each so we switched to Deutscher Sekt blanc des blancs after dark to "clear the head".
Slept like a bugger!
And its still sunny.
Need to buy some more sekt now: we always bring back 18 bottles, plus six Asbach when we go the Germany or Austria.

I have just bought a brand new Weber 47cm compact for £36, I suspect cheaper than the Geilenkirchen BX price. It is certainly half the price of Amazon and anywhere else obvious on the net. It is probably a mistake but the label said £36 (and also the same on their website; it says "out of stock" but I found one in store) and that is what they charged at the till. Although I don't want to be accused of advertising the department store in question has a large branch on Sloane Square and the song used in their extended Christmas advert usually does well in the charts .
And absolutely charcoal only

Following an afternoon at 'Music in the Market' in Buckingham town centre, chicken breasts cooked slowly in white wine (not Cypriot) and paprika on the BBQ and served with baby new potatoes and chives (home grown) in mayo and a caesar salad with croutons. A great success.
Dreaming up tonight's effort, but starting to look like more traditional Brit BBQ menu.

Poking the coals about in the hope they'll catch.
Beer.
A few sausages, black on the outside, raw in the centre.

A flabby disc of minced bits of sundry beasts which either lost the 4.30 at Kempton Park or were liberated from the local vet's dustbins... Inserted into a bun with some sauce and lettuce, then somewhat laughingly described as 'a burger'.
Beer.
Some bony bits of rubber-wrapped racing hen doused in thermonuclear chilli marinade.
Rain.

Local Chinese takeaway.
0030-1200 at half hourly intervals perched on the porcelain throne - the after effect of eating lettuce.
Outstanding success today. Back to basics with Aberdeen Angus burgers with a crushed black pepper crust, Cumberland sausages, Toulouse sausages, grilled red onion, home-made burger relish, charlotte potato salad and some weird green stuff. My beautiful Weber. 
Had a cracker of a day with some really good Weber action. I have to "come out" and say I have tried a Gas job by once, we owned it for about a week, then gave it to my son in law. Coals is the way ahead. As for the Cyprus refreshment, we always enjoy a start to the summer with some light Pandemonium etc. I mean no offence to the more discerning, I am, after all a "swivel eyed loon" to some. Here's to a great summers cooking. 🍻🇬🇧

Coff, a fine picture, hope you enjoyed it. The other great Cyprus accompaniment is of course Bellapais. Although I'm not sure I've had any of that since around 74/75 when the north became Turkish.

God forbid ... It's not a self portrait ... Most unbecoming
Just found a Navy a$$ in full reheat to use as a metaphor ... works on so many levels

Gas Flight performed a well rehearsed display in their 2013 machine with various maneuvers including the porcine rib roll and the sirloin stall turn to an appreciative audience. In flight refueling was provided via a joint exercise between the German Weissbier unit and the lesser known Italian Grecanico Dorato unit.
The quality of the early season display bodes well for the rest of the season

That's what we like to see ... good spirited inter-Flight rivalry BEagle
Just to help (because you lot need it) the Charcoal Flight ... if you guys need a suitable HQ/Drinking Establishment ... then the next village to mine has a fine country pub called the "Blackboys Inn" ... the village itself is called Blackboys ...
The Black Boys Inn East Sussex
The connection for you consumers of carboniferous BBQ fuel is as follows ...
Best regards ...

The village name of Blackboys came from the colour of the Charcoal Burners when they emerged from the woods, but also refers the fact that the name means Black Wood, from the soot deposited in the woods by the charcoal production process. Charcoal was produced in these parts dating back to the 1300's ... but no more".
