Hey! There I was, saying you should be giving him a present (a lump of coal) which would be useful (it provides heat), and you're calling me mean.
Yet you're talking about giving him nothing!

By BBQ coals, do you mean the lava rock ones that don't burn?
Giving someone fake coal for Christmas which they can't even set light to...devastating! :rotfl:skint_spice wrote: »Only a few more of days of college then I'm on holiday!!!! straight back to hand in assessments after new year, I have been sold down the river - thought students just went to the pub all day?

My only concession to poshness in the barbecue area is that I buy lumpwood rather than briquettes.
Don't know why really, the bit of cow goes on the BBQ bleeding, and is taken off - still bleeding...skint_spice wrote: »But that would be a different budget, this one only goes till this weekend, mind you I might get my hair done...;)
