BBQ Live

[MichaelJH]

The BBQ will start here at 2:00pm. I have started a new thread as overly long ones can become slow and confusing.

[Lezzers]

I'm on my way Michael, do you have ice 🧊or shall I bring some?

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

Please. I only have dry ice for effect...

[Fluffybee in reply to MichaelJH]

Moonshine, gin, mixers if anyone wants any, clotted cream and jam to go with Milkfairy’s scones, packed up and on our way 🎉🎉🥤🍷🍺🍻🍹🥂🍾

[Fluffybee in reply to Fluffybee]

Music anyone ? Music anyone 🎶 🎵

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

Having my stacked burger washed down with a pint of Black Velvet...

[080311]

I am here brought coleslaw and potato salad big jar of gherkins in the other universe would give me indigestion but here I can munch away 😂 could I order a burger with bacon! 🍔

[Fluffybee in reply to 080311]

Oh my goodness I haven’t thought, I’m a coeliac so in ‘this type’ of Bbq I can have a proper burger in a bun, oh it’s been so long, 😂

[080311 in reply to Fluffybee]

Know the feeling we can have what we normally try and avoid 😂 happy bank holiday though I am in Scotland and we haven’t got this holiday 😉 but hey ho

[Fluffybee in reply to 080311]

Oh no, I hadn’t thought about that, hope you enjoy the bbq, hopefully you’re not at work to join in. ?

[080311 in reply to Fluffybee]

Long past working age so no problems😂

[Fluffybee in reply to 080311]

Oh sorry 🤗 let’s have fun then 🎉🎵

[080311 in reply to Fluffybee]

You bet😂

[Calliope153]

anything on a stick please............ I haven;t had a burger or a sausage for 2 and a half years so at least two of each on the side...... and any bacon baps?

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Calliope153]

Here's a Mivvi!

[Lezzers in reply to MichaelJH]

What's a Mivvi?

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

Lolly sold by Lyons Maid in the 70s. It came on a stick! 🤣🤣🤣

[080311 in reply to MichaelJH]

Use to eat them at the cinema at intermission strawberry ones were delicious

[Calliope153 in reply to Lezzers]

There's on for you resting on your ice - best place for it

[Lezzers in reply to Calliope153]

Ta muchly, I'll go get it

[Calliope153 in reply to Lezzers]

If it's a strawberry one don;t bother with refreshing your lipstick - I am assuming you have dressed for the occasion and are wearing full slap? You'll have such lovely red lips after a Mivvi and your tongue will be an interesting colour too........

[Lezzers in reply to Calliope153]

Oh definitely full slap, I'm like my granny never leave the house without lipstick 💄

[Calliope153 in reply to Lezzers]

and a hat? I always think a hat makes a statement - even if it is only "pity me" (see little pic if you don't believe that) However am a modern girl and don;t bother with full length gloves at an informal occasion........ but have brought oven gloves just in case I am called upon to help.....

[Lezzers in reply to Calliope153]

Oh definitely a hat & oven gloves, so much more practical on these occasions. We just need to find someone willing to wear the rubber gloves for the washing up!!

[Fluffybee in reply to Lezzers]

Go on then I’ll do my bit especially as everyone has paper plates etc 😂😂

[Handel in reply to Lezzers]

😂 xxx

[Calliope153 in reply to MichaelJH]

Now that's skill - a Mivvi on a BBQ............. or is it dessert? In which case can I have 2? As my aunt would say "you're on a blow out"

[Lezzers]

I'm here. I've left the 🧊 with the drinks.

Mmm, whats cooking? 🤔

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

Grr... This Wi-Fi is rubbish. Slow, logs you out, limited bandwidth, etc..

[080311 in reply to MichaelJH]

And breathe 😂

[Calliope153]

Music - Green Onions by Booker T and the MGs, for the younger members the Australian Punk band The Burnt Sausages ......

[Lezzers in reply to Calliope153]

😂

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

So now we have on the go: veggie burgers, beef burgers, bratwurst and drumsticks. The veggie ones are on a separate small BBQ as last time someone complained about cross contamination!

[Lezzers in reply to MichaelJH]

Could I have a drumstick 🍗 please. Anyone seen Frank with my drink?

[Prada47 in reply to Lezzers]

Here I am Lezzers

[Prada47 in reply to Prada47]

I never really know how this works do you answer the person who posted last ??

[Lezzers in reply to Prada47]

Thanks Frank, sorry to keep you waiting I had to pop home for a time

[Fluffybee in reply to Lezzers]

Lezzers Yes I did, I saw him take it just As you put it down 😂

[Fluffybee in reply to MichaelJH]

Halloumi anyone ??

[Lezzers in reply to Fluffybee]

No thanks, I'm not a fan of cheese 🧀 🤮

[Alison_L]

Afternoon All. I've brought a chicken curry with wild brown rice and coriander & garlic naan. Fairly mild and plenty for everyone. Don't put it on the BBQ, it'll just drip through. Can I have a mivvi if there are any left, please?

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

Probably the best music score ever:

youtu.be/JzacePApvG8(Not working as expected?)

[Fluffybee in reply to MichaelJH]

Very calming 😊 has someone burnt a sausage ?????

[Prada47]

Hello Sorry I am late G & Ts anyone ?

[Alison_L in reply to Prada47]

Yes, please, Frank! Got any lime to go in it?

[Prada47 in reply to Alison_L]

I brought Fever Tree to go with the Gin Lezzers told me it's her No1 choice

[Alison_L in reply to Prada47]

Is it that fancy spicy pink fever-tree or the ordinary stuff? I'll stick to the straight tonic please!

[Fluffybee in reply to Alison_L]

Kraken rum anyone ?

Had a cheeky sip, gone to my head already 😆😆

[Prada47 in reply to Fluffybee]

Not to keen on Spiced Rum but if your twisting arms why not

[Fluffybee in reply to Prada47]

Say when ???

[Prada47 in reply to Fluffybee]

When do I say When ?? When it is Full ?

[Fluffybee in reply to Prada47]

🤭🤭🤭

[Lezzers in reply to Prada47]

And so it is Frank, providing there's gin with it ☺

[Fluffybee in reply to Prada47]

I’ll sniff one if that’s ok, meds and all that 🙄

[Prada47 in reply to Fluffybee]

I just sniff the coke and it's fine !!!

[Fluffybee in reply to Prada47]

😂😂😂

[Lezzers in reply to Prada47]

😂

[Stuart2441 in reply to Prada47]

I used to sniff coke. But had to stop due to the pain. Kept getting the ice cubes stuck up my nostrils. 😂😂

[Handel in reply to Stuart2441]

What are you like!!! 😂

[Handel in reply to Prada47]

😂😂

[Alison_L in reply to Fluffybee]

That's the advantage of a virtual BBQ, Fluffy. We can eat and drink what we fancy without worrying about meds and heart stuff

[Fluffybee in reply to Alison_L]

Well I’m that case I’ll have 2 sips of rum, then on to the G&T 😆

[Prada47 in reply to Fluffybee]

Frank passes a glass of Bristol Classic Rum to Fluffy

[Fluffybee in reply to Prada47]

Wonderful 😃

[Fluffybee in reply to Prada47]

Smacking my lips this is really nice !!

[Fluffybee in reply to Alison_L]

This is a brilliant idea MichaelJH 🤗 really cheered me up and we’ve aged to go yet 🤗

[Prada47]

Lezzers needs a G & T

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Prada47]

Quick quiz: Who used to order a G&T from Dave?

[Prada47 in reply to MichaelJH]

Must have ben Lezzers she drinks more G & Ts than you can shake a stick at

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Prada47]

Sorry wrong!

[Prada47 in reply to MichaelJH]

Jesus if I thought we was going to have a Quiz I would have left the Vodka alone !!

[Lezzers in reply to Prada47]

😂

[Alison_L in reply to MichaelJH]

Del Boy?

[Lezzers in reply to MichaelJH]

Terry of course!!

[Alison_L in reply to Lezzers]

Wot? Arfur's Terry?

[Lezzers in reply to Alison_L]

The very same, used to drink at the Winchester!

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

It was Arthur who drunk G&T not Terry...

[Lezzers in reply to MichaelJH]

Oh blimy that's the last time I ask Kevin!! And then he went on to list the whole cast!! 😦 😴

[Sunnie2day]

At Prada - she can of course enjoy a G&T. Or a Southern Mimosa - I'm having mine with this lovely bottle of genuine Stolichnaya straight from St Petersburg via a friend in FS but I brought champagne and prosecco for the purists

[Prada47 in reply to Sunnie2day]

Vodka is fine for me Sunnie

[Sunnie2day in reply to Prada47]

Here you go, and isn't that splash of grenadine making a lovely mimosa bloom, looks almost the real thing!

[Alison_L in reply to Sunnie2day]

Don't drink it too quickly, Sunnie. The BBQ's going on til 6pm and we don't want you falling over drunk before then

[Prada47 in reply to Alison_L]

Yep we can fix most things inhere except broken bones !!

[Prada47]

Can someone wake Lesley that's wake not Woke !!

[Alison_L in reply to Prada47]

Has she nodded off already??

[Prada47 in reply to Alison_L]

A Girl and a Half is our Lezzers

[Lezzers in reply to Prada47]

I'm awake & drinking...hic!

[Milkfairy Heart Star]

Hello everyone,

Sorry I am late. It took me a little while to find just the right earrings and necklace to give with my dress.

Could I have a glass of English sparkling wine please ?

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Milkfairy]

Indeed, this one is from the Camel Valley. I have just been dealing with what I believe is a fake researcher!

[Milkfairy Heart Star in reply to MichaelJH]

Tell us more a 'fake researcher'

[Alison_L in reply to Milkfairy]

And very nice you look too. Although I'm not sure about the wellies...

[Prada47 in reply to Alison_L]

Yes Green Wellies would have gone soo well with the Emerald earing and necklace

[Lezzers in reply to Prada47]

I'm not sure the Emeralds are genuine 🤔 what do you think?

[Milkfairy Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

They are of course genuine😂

[Lezzers in reply to Milkfairy]

Family heirloom?

[Milkfairy Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

Along with the tiara and the silver.

[Lezzers in reply to Milkfairy]

Very nice. My jewelry box consists of 2 wedding rings, both bought by kevin in a sale! 😂

[Milkfairy Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

I might have my fingers crossed behind my back🤥🤫🤭

[Lezzers in reply to Milkfairy]

😂 😂

[Milkfairy Heart Star in reply to Alison_L]

I know but it's been raining and when I took Millie for a walk it was really muddy.

I though I might have got away with it but nothing gets past you eagle eyed people

[Lezzers in reply to Alison_L]

😂

[Handel in reply to Alison_L]

😂

[Prada47]

Michael Hampshire or Dorset for the English Wines

[Alison_L in reply to Prada47]

My nearest winery is Denbies at Dorking, Surrey. Nice wine, but overpriced.

[Prada47 in reply to Alison_L]

Ours is Setley Ridge in Hampshire just outside Brokenhurst

[Prada47 in reply to Prada47]

Hello where has the Burger Van gone ??? Or am I lost in space !!

[Prada47]

Am I really here or lost in Space ??

[Alison_L in reply to Prada47]

No.

[Prada47]

Thank goodness for Alison I am not lost on my own

[Alison_L in reply to Prada47]

Everyone else seems to have wandered off. Maybe it was the gin.

[Prada47]

[cowparsley]

Sorry I`m late,but I do so like to make an entrance.This is my alter ego,Patsy.Just give me that crate of Camel Valley sparkling so I can catch up with you early birds.Anyone for a spliffff ?

[Alison_L in reply to cowparsley]

Afternoon Patsy... is that as in cowpatsyparsley?

[cowparsley in reply to Alison_L]

If they do come back I`m handing it to you.

[Lezzers in reply to cowparsley]

😂

[Lezzers in reply to Alison_L]

😂 😂

[Prada47 in reply to Lezzers]

I am not sure if I belong in this company

[Lezzers in reply to Prada47]

I know!! If we get raided it's every person for themselves! 😂

[cowparsley in reply to Lezzers]

Bet you`ve got a really innocent face Lezzers,butter wouldn`t melt!

[Lezzers in reply to cowparsley]

I've perfected it over the years 😇

[Alison_L in reply to Prada47]

That was a quick leak. For Harley.

[Prada47 in reply to Prada47]

Getting a little rough for a shy x matelot like me !!! If you believe that you will believe anything

[cowparsley in reply to Prada47]

Shy matelot? that must be on the endangered species list!!

[cowparsley in reply to Prada47]

Live a little Prada!

[Prada47 in reply to cowparsley]

I think I have done my fair share of living and a bit extra as well lol

[cowparsley in reply to Prada47]

I want to know what the "bit extra"was!!!

[Fluffybee in reply to cowparsley]

Oooh yes so do I want to know 😳😳

[Prada47 in reply to cowparsley]

the extra was daring to have Salt on my Chips !! and if you believe that you will believe anything lol

[Prada47 in reply to Prada47]

Have you been making Cornish Gin again ??

[Fluffybee in reply to Lezzers]

I’ll take it off you and ‘dispose’ of it for you both 🥴

[Prada47]

Harley is my neighbours Dog but I walk him everyday he is a Cocker !

[Alison_L in reply to Prada47]

Easier than being a squatter...

[Lezzers in reply to Alison_L]

😂 😂 😂

[Prada47 in reply to Alison_L]

He stops every few minutes I am sure he has a dodgy prostrate

[Prada47]

Now tea is ready and it's not virtual it's Gammon steak and 140cals of chips ie 200g !!

[Alison_L in reply to Prada47]

Enjoy

[cowparsley]

Sorry Michael,I`ve lowered the tone of your BBQ.Breeding,or lack thereof will out.xx

[Alison_L in reply to cowparsley]

I think we got away with it...

[Supernanu]

Sorry I’m late. Picking windfall pears to make a crumble. And cream of course. Anyone got any room left?

[Alison_L in reply to Supernanu]

Afternoon. Everyone's fallen down drunk at the moment, but we expect them to rally round for the last 20 minutes!

Yes please to crumble & cream

[Sunnie2day in reply to Alison_L]

No, no, I'm still upright and would love some of that crumble!

[Lezzers in reply to Supernanu]

Yes please, I have some room left!!

[Sunnie2day in reply to Supernanu]

Gorgeous, just right for the day, thank-you!

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

Hope everyone is having a good time. Unfortunately being in rehab a number of other issues cropped up!

Two bratwurst on one bun with a splash of mustard I think..

[Alison_L in reply to MichaelJH]

They didn't make you eat a real dinner, did they?

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Alison_L]

Yes, carbonara and side salad...

[Alison_L in reply to MichaelJH]

Oh dear, far too healthy!

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

I have a coffee machine so your coffee of choice is available plus tea and hot chocolate...

[Lezzers in reply to MichaelJH]

Can I have a breakfast tea or Yorkshire tea please.

[Fluffybee in reply to MichaelJH]

Could I have a latte first please, followed by a very strong espresso, but Have no idea where I am so won’t be able to get back and get it 😳😳

[Alison_L in reply to MichaelJH]

Since I've just pigged out on everything else, I'll round it off with a hot chocolate,, please, Michael. Thank you for organising the BBQ. I've had a lovely time

[Milkfairy Heart Star]

Hot chocolate please Michael.

[Lezzers]

Who's clearing up? Fluffy was going to do the washing up but she seems to have disappeared, can we check shes not lying in a hedge somewhere?

[Fluffybee in reply to Lezzers]

Not in a hedge, but haven’t got a clue where I am !!!!!!!!

[Lezzers in reply to Fluffybee]

Sadly that can happen after a social do, I've been lost a time or 2 myself in a previous life! 🥃 😂

[Fluffybee in reply to Lezzers]

Yeah it’s been a while, quite nice here though 😂😂

[Milkfairy Heart Star in reply to Lezzers]

I'll wipe down the tables.

I've got my PPE on quite a look with my wellies.

At least I won't have to check the toilets to see if the loo rolls have been pinched like last time.

[080311 in reply to Milkfairy]

Will give you a hand

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

Please can all strangers leave by 7:30 as the BBQ site will disappear into the Interweb. Good night and enjoy the rest of the evening...

[080311 in reply to MichaelJH]

Thank you Michael for organising as always it’s such a boost made me smile throughout the afternoon. Have a good night hope the gym goes really well tomorrow.

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to 080311]

Thank you I just hope that three days of not weight bearing and using the leg muscles have not caused me to go backwards from Friday.

[Fluffybee in reply to MichaelJH]

MichaelJH

Thank you so much for the Bbq loved the music, food was delicious, I know you’re going through a really hard life changing time and still thought of doing this and making so many people happy, you’re a star 🌟 looking forward to the next party, hope we can get together and have a Xmas one. !!

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to Fluffybee]

Thank you... I now think a good gap between virtual events is important as well as a day or two's notice.

Basically you have to get on with life. If I sat in the wheelchair feeling sorry for myself as I will not grow a new leg. What I do want is for the NHS to monitor my right leg a lot better. It also suffers from PAD and I am now totally convinced early intervention is absolutely critical!

[Lezzers]

Thank you Michael for arranging the bbq and thanks everyone for a wonderfully entertaining day. We all need a bit of sillyness now & then in our challenging lifes! 😘

[Milkfairy Heart Star]

Thanks Michael

It was a blast as they say....

Can the person who couldn't resist taking the loo rolls please fess up

[Lezzers in reply to Milkfairy]

Did SpiritoftheFloyd turn up? He's the usual suspect 🤔

[SpiritoftheFloyd in reply to Lezzers]

You can't pin that one on me - I was out all day yesterday! 😊

[Alison_L in reply to Milkfairy]

Sorry, Milkfairy, they were just sitting there, and when I got home they fell out from my t-shirt. I don't remember picking them up. Honest

[Milkfairy Heart Star in reply to Alison_L]

😂

[Sunnie2day]

Adding my voice to the chorus of sincerely meant thanks, Michael, this has been a perfect Bank Holiday BBQ gathering, thank-you for organising it!

[shopman]

Unfortunately I had other things to do for most of yesterday and wonder if there are any doggy bags?

[Handel]

Many thanks Michael. Really had a giggle !! xxx
