People who are doing it WRONG

[GloGirl]

My Dad loves to talk about how he enjoys a good barbecue in this weather, once he even invited a lot of family round for one.

His version of a BBQ is a George Formby grill (natch), and in nice weather he plugs it in outside to cook a burger or sausage on. He is quite evangelical about how clever it is to barbecue that way.

It gives me the gritted teeth rage.

Anyone else who is doing it ALL WRONG? Offload here

[gymboywalton]

but it's impossible!!!

i think we need a poll...

[diggerdigsdogs]

Coffee shops that make tea using a coffee machine instead of a kettle.

WRONG.

[Tuskerfull]

The backwards-on-swivel technique is bad for bras but I can't master the front-ways-on technique so meh.

[FraggleHair]

Under my regime pregnantpause will be in charge of bras. She speaks sense.

[pregnantpause]

I knew it was controversial!

[Maxthecat]

Id probably dislocate my arms putting my bra on your way pregnantpause!

[CakeNinja]

I commit many of these crimes. Bra on back to front. Milk in first when I make ds cereal. Brush teeth then eat breakfast. Scone with cream on first.

However, cooking on a gas 'bbq' is just not cricket. Cook indoors ffs.
Went to a bbq at the weekend where they cooked all the food (every single thing), kept it heated in an oven until everything was cooked and then closed the lid of the bbq, cleaned all around it including the floor (very anal people, although lovely friends!) and then laid everything out. All kinds of wrong. It's not a bloody buffet

[MrsGentlyBenevolent]

I suppose, it crossed my mind - however I'm now a coffee drinker, so I just leave him and his unholy tea to it (most of the time he moans it doesn't taste right, I wonder why ).

[FraggleHair]

That sounds like the crappest barbecue every CakeNinja, no offence to your hosts who I'm (not very) sure are lovely people.

When me and xh split my ds asked if we could have a bbq, and suggested that we buy a gas one. I declared that a gas bbq is not a bbq and bought a starter one from argos, with charcoal from sainsburys, took it home and perfected my fire lighting and then bbq skills over the next few weeks.

One day my ds declared that "we can't buy a gas bbq as it's not a proper bbq." And he is right!!!!!!

Fwiw I have considered buying a small gas one for weekdays when we can just quickly start it up and cook outside, but tbh I'm not sure I can bring myself to do it.

When I was a child, I ate my breakfast and had a wash BEFORE getting my uniform on, in contrast to all of my friends. I intend to raise my children in a similar fashion

If you can put your bra on and swivel it round it's very likely you are wearing the wrong size. The support comes from the band and if you can swivel it it's too loose.

[TheCunnyFunt]

Arms in, boobs in, fasten and then rearrange boobs is the way I do it, I can't imagine fastening it at the front and swivelling it round that method would never work with my strapless Wonderbra!

[0x530x610x750x630x79]

No YOU are wrong! When my regime is up and running people who do up their bras and then swivel them around will be in big trouble

if your regime comes in i will be in big trouble i will have to go bra-less or never get to leave the house until at least 2pm

[Jasonandyawegunorts]

Turned out nice again!

[pregnantpause]

Lady you are right. Eat then dress. Just good sense really.


- whispers, I love my gas BBQ, or non BBQ as you would all have it-

[CombineBananaFister]

Someone at work microwaves their cup of tea - bizarre

Oh, and I'm with you on the kit-kat thing or any chocolatey treat. Dh just chomps.chomps,chomps, until it's gone - no savouring, no nibbling of chocolate off the sides or eating the caramel off the top first. Just in and gone. It's no fun eating that way.

YANBU - bbq food needs to taste bbq'd and it doesn't on gas or grills.

[Perissa]

On the tooth brushing thing, unless you have at least 40 mins between eating and needing to brush your teeth then you should do them first. Eating softens your enamel which you rub away by brushing too soon. Better to brush first then use chewing gum afterwards if you're short on time.

[isupposeitsverynice]

MrsGB that's brilliant, I actually did a proper chuckle. as long as you're not being expected to drink that mess it's all good. I hope he has a big willy other redeeming features

[FraggleHair]

People driving along with the window down and Ronan Keating blasting out are very wrong.

[MrsGentlyBenevolent]

Women...fasten bras at the front.... then swivel them around? What madness is this? I'm with cunny all the way. If I had to swivel my bra around, I'd end up with fabric burns and boobs ending up goodness knows where....

[Tokelau]

I agree with the tooth cleaning thing. I used to get my DC to have breakfast and then clean their teeth before school, but the dentist told me that I was wrong, and that we should clean our teeth as soon as we get up, and have breakfast after that. Something about not eating until you have cleaned away the night time bacteria, as they then multiply when you eat. Or something like that.

[Stealthpolarbear]

But I cannot do it up from the back! Do you all have maids?

[FraggleHair]

if your regime comes in i will be in big trouble i will have to go bra-less or never get to leave the house until at least 2pm

My regime will be kinder to the braless than the swivellers.

[MrsGentlyBenevolent]

He has...a great sense of humor, Isuppose ;).
