    BBQ RULES :
    We'll be entering the BBQ season in a few months. Therefore it is
    important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity. When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

    Routine...
    (1) The woman buys the food.
    (2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
    (3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.
    (4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.

    Here comes the important part:

    (5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL
    .

    More routine...

    (6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
    (7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat.

    Important again:
    (8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.


    More routine...

    (9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.

    (10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
    And most important of all:
    (11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.


    (12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed

    ' her night off ' and, upon seeing her annoyed
    reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women!

  • Hi all

    Sorry Paul I don't agree with you about Cameron being spiteful to the working class - I think you've got him mixed up with Brown :p - what's Brown done for us in the last 13 years??? Nothing!! What's he done for himself and his cohorts?? lined their pockets and given themselves a lovely pension pot to look forward to while he's raided everyone elses pensions! Just look at how much Blair is now worth!!! And don't forget Brown sold our gold at rock bottom prices when the bank of england advised him against selling!!!
    I don't trust any politician they're all in it for themselves especially the labour party!!!


    Pad today is £5 OH, £2 tin and £10 cap1

    £17

    I don't have much time for any of them if truth be told. It just sdeems to be a matter of trying to seek the least bad alternative. It seems our views differ on what that least bad alternative would be. I'm afraid my memories of the Thatcher years are still fairly fresh in spite of the time that has passed - and it wasn't quite so bad in the southeast either (but bad enough thanks).

    Thanks piggin :D I know, they are seriously carp :mad: depressing to know when you get one that you're writing off at least 1-3 days of your life no matter what was planned! My medication's pretty good but I need to take it within about 15 mins of getting one-a tad difficult if you just wake up with a migraine! Still at least I didn't have any concerts this weekend :rotfl:
    Have been catching up a bit and nicky I really hope your little baby is on the mend already :)
    Hope you're ok now angelic & things get back to normal! :D

    Too true scooby! You don't take sumatriptan do you? They work fine so long as I take them as soon as I feel it coming on - when my eyesight gets affected (do you get that? the 'aura' - not being able to focus and the flashing lights). However, like you, I often wake up with a migraine and if that happens nothing works. Eye mask on and stay in bed until it goes! And the aftermath is almost as bad as the migraine itself - zombie is quite a good description!

    Ah piggin that's really funny as yes I take sumatriptan & have exactly the same problem with it working! It's great as long as I can take it within 10-15 mins of getting the pretty colours dancing in front of my eyes but otherwise I start being sick (sorry to anyone squeamish :p) and carry on like that with full migraine for 1-3 days :mad: If I just wake up with one then I know I'm doomed :rotfl:And yes always feel completely stoned for a day or so after it's gone-everything happens too fast around me! :D

    I'm with you Paul.

    To be honest, I find David Cameron the most patronising man EVER! Sorry, I know not everyone would agree, but I don't think he's genuine at all.
