to think it's really cheeky to invite someone to a BBQ then expect them to bring...

...The BBQ!?

We were invited last week to a friends today for a BBQ. They called this morning asking to borrow our BBQ, we assumed there's had broken or the one they ordered hadn't arrived etc - but no. They don't have one. So we suggested they come to ours and bring some of the stuff they'd bought as our BBQ is very heavy and large (won't fit in the car without removing the child seats and lying all seats flat) but it turns out, that not only did they want us to bring our BBQ, they wanted us to leave it at theirs as they are having other friends this evening.

Was IBU to say no? That I didn't want to take our large BBQ and gas bottle to their house and leave it with them?

@GlendaPickle, you sound quite unhinged...!

"Buy your own BBQ, Glenda" (or a variation of) is surely going to go down in Mumsnet history

osbertthesyrianhamster yes thankfully. I was in the middle of serious PND when it all started, was just getting out of that fog and waking up to their true colours, and started pulling away. Then covid hit and I'd don't know, time, space, rose-tinted glasses etc but not anymore!

Dot dot dash lies and recycles Christmas presents.

Everyone recycles Christmas presents you utter loon

Oh Glenda

OMG 😂 thanks for giving me such a laugh on this thread.

Please put this on classics

Buy your own BBQ, Glenda! And scuba gear and cookware! It's rubbish, cheap and nasty to borrow other people's! And shag your own husband. 😂😂😂

@dotdashdashdash you’ve made my day. This is the funniest thread I’ve read in ages.

@GlendaPickle there have been over 350 comments saying you behaved like a dick. You then made yourself look more foolish by throwing out insults. Get a grip and recognise you are in the wrong.

Well if this wasn’t batshit enough to start, along comes Glenda pretending to know the op...😂

Definitely one for classics 😂

ha ha ha ha!!!!! ^This

This is just awesome! Dot, please tell us when your h returns with your stuff. Only, I wouldn't trust the cylinder without testing, they may have bored holes in it.

Hark, is that the sound of someone digging away when they really should have stopped?

Probably with a borrowed spade too.

I feel like I should make a speech saying thanks for my classics nomination

Wouldn’t worry about recycling xmas gifts @GlendaPickle, you are definitely the xmas gift which keeps on giving.

Yeah what are the chances?

omg this thread is my favourite thing of the day.

@GlendaPickle ...... “Coming on a forum to Walter Mitty to grab attention” ...... ha ha the irony

Glenda is the gift that keeps on giving. Bravo!

Beyond cheeky

Thanks for the comments.

I am just outing the Walter Mitty attention bbq scuba 🤿 diver keyboard warrior.

I don’t think I am done anything wrong.

I'm another of the OP's friends and I can confirm she only brings top quality meat to BBQs. Last time it was venison hand-smoked by blind nuns. Glenda is just annoyed because her husband once said OP was a top bird.

Glenda are you BBQ bitch or not? You sound like you're had too much Pimms...
