To be annoyed neighbours haven't invited me to their barbecue?

[MipMipMip]

Admittedly I don't actually know them. But they have sausages. SAUSAGES! I want sausages.

Well it would be their own fault for not bothering to set up a Neighbourhood Watch themselves Purple.

OP,

Oh God, this thread is hilarious...MN Classic.

Whatever you do, do not, under any circumstances, suggest joining forces for a neighbourly "sausage party" to get to know them better, just to report back their horrified faces.

That would be extremely childish.

And not at all funny for the rest of us here.

Tizzy,
"(And possibly hold up a sign with light hearted on in. Just in case you live next to serious sorts)."

Only on Mumsnet would you get clever literary references in a sausage-related NDN thread.
for Saucy and Zebra...you cultured old things, you

Get your laptop out and watch this in the garden. They might take hint.

*the hint.

Just drift in, grab a sausage and say, 'thanks ever so much for the invite....so kind...

Next day's empty bbq: you never sausage a tragic sight.

Mip - clearly too late now but you'll know what to do next BBQ.

Rather than the MacBeths - keep a Darth Vader and white warrior suit ready. Ring neighbours' door bell. Wave a toasting fork and declare "The Force is Strong".

Then just steal the sausages.

Thalia - you can run, but you can't hide. The Pun Police are after you for a top ten awful pun.

Bit late now I suppose, unless their BBQ is like mine, (ie takes 24 hrs to finally cook a sausage through!!!). But you could just pop your head over the fence and make friendly small talk until they can't think of any way to get rid of you other than inviting you over to join them...

I'm just going to leave this (hopefully rather large) French sausage here....

We have a butchers who do marmalade flavour sausages which are delish. Other flavours too, they have won loads of awards.

Why don't you go to the fence and shout meat is murder and get everyone to pass you their sausages and any other delicious meat so you can "dispose " of it in a suitable way so that they may redeem their sins

I WANT marmalade sausages!

Had sausages on the beach earlier, in rolls with ketchup and mustard.

Bloody lush.

I'm not jealous Dame. At all.

Once had a cat that stole some sausages from friend's father who (whilst not a BBQ situation) was looking forward to a late night / early morning snack after working and was not best pleased to see said sausages following the cat out of the back door which he had left open. He was a bit of a lovable pickle that cat! Just had to share.

Still really tickled by the punch a sausage typo... that'll learn 'em

millie,

Or combine your bbq sausages with the Star Wars theme...

OP,

C'est bon! Song's a banger.

Buy a farm. Raise pigs. Choose the biggest and the porkiest and do the necessary ... then spit roast it on a day when you know that they are in the lee of the prevailing wind.

Stand on a box so they can see you and then drool.

Lots of onions, piles of them. Great for making them extra hungry and extra jealous!

OP,

Any sausage action from the neighbours this weekend, and we demand a full running commentary.

Are you stocked up, ready for a pre-emptive strike bbq?
