Bah! The only week that Helen could get off work for a summer holiday includes that weekend.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Thu Feb 16, 2017 22:33

Holiday in bedford!

I have a triathlon the next day the Cotswold Classic

I will pop in if that is ok.

Pop the fuck in, eat the fuck meat, drink the fuck booze. What, you want your triathlon to be easy? Suck it up, sweetheart.

It is 70.3 miles of fun.

Only fun if you're drunk.

Yay! In.

After Bedford, hop on the X5 and visit the world-renowned international tourist hotspot that is Bicester Village. Or at least drop the wife off there.

Hullo! I might come along to this actually; flights and a hotel are about £150-ish which seems reasonable. I mention it now in case anyone wants to 'unexpectedly' pull out at the news.

We wouldn't do that.

We'll just change the weekend after you book your flights

Well, yes; that is the other reason that I mention my intention publicly prior to actually spending any money.

Huh. 'Publically' isn't actually a word, how has it taken me so long to notice that?

That's my flights and hotel booked so you're safe to go ahead and change the date and location now.

Don't go booking a hotel just yet!

Grim... · **Posted:** Mon Feb 27, 2017 13:48

But it's okay, that will be the date.

Oops, I never looked at the date of the first post and just assumed this thread had been around for a while.

Nah, not this year. Maybe next time.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Mon Feb 27, 2017 16:29

I don't think I can make the BBQ this year... my tri is further away than i thought

If you pencilled in the 12th August then you can go over it in pen now.

There'll be a website coming soon.

BEGIN MEAT PLANZ

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Apr 18, 2017 13:05

Hello!

An idea has been put forward to the Yes, Chef (Meat and Fire Dpt)!. Basically rather than bringing "enough of X for Y people" you pay £Z and the Yes, Chef (Meat and Fire Dpt)!s buy and cook something on your behalf.

The idea is that rather than a three sets of £5 burgers, we buy a big hunk of brisket, or something.

Thoughts?

myp · **Posted:** Tue Apr 18, 2017 13:08

Sure.

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Apr 18, 2017 13:09

Good idea. I'd be up for this.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Tue Apr 18, 2017 13:10

I prefer this as an idea.

So long as you don't decide to go for grilled sheep brains.

Pff, everyone knows that brains go in the sous vide. Philistine.

Acceptable.

Bamba · **Joined:** 25th Jul, 2010 **Posts:** 11128

Selfishly I'd much prefer this idea as it's more convenient for me; and if the chefs themselves would rather do this it's a double bonus. I'm more than happy to go with their preference either way though.

Obvs we would still make arrangements for folks with specific dietary requirements. Grudgingly.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue Apr 18, 2017 13:57

Also if we want to make and bring random shit anyway, that's still allowed, right?

Sure, as long as you won't be offended if we say "not cooking that, it's shit"

It's just going to be 80kg of sodding Richmond sausages, isn't it?

Jem and I are OK with this development

What if people like shit food?

I'm talking about Malc

Malc · **Posted:** Tue Apr 18, 2017 14:57

Hah, I can't go, so it does not bother me, If I was going, I would want to do what Curio suggested, but I'm not, so I it does not matter!

MaliSauce is not, in fact, bestsauce.

Also you should come to these things.
