Bill,
Closest I got to a BBQ, was a stinking old rubbish tip fire, that the guy at the tip "forgot" to report until an hour and a half after it started.
All of us guys at the fire, missed the NPC Rugby Final!!, because of this dumb-*@$%.
(BTW, the NPC Final is the Rugby equivalent in NZ, to SuperBowl in the US.
While he was at home watching rugby and drinking beer, we were turning over rubbish and dampening it down.
We were WILD!!.
