After several painful experiences with 'traditional' firelighters, and as this was the OMGWTFBBQ party, I decided to try the quicker approach - a good slug of parasene (this was actually after it had died down considerably):

The BBQ was lit, with the added bonus of sanitising the grills! But I only lit the lumpwood charcoal, and putting on the briquettes slowed the thing right down, so it still took about 20 minutes to get to cooking temperature. Next time, both lots of coal, and perhaps slightly less parasene.. ;)
The party was a good one. We decided to rearrange the furniture about an hour into the party; this was considered a success. Next time I won't have quite so much furniture and hence no longer have to rearrange furniture :)
Here is a photo of a birthday boy and girls, surrounded by lots of cute girls:

sepheri's cleavage was the best place for her wine, and then helped her with cleaning up afterwards:

Just for an interesting size comparison: the tallest and (some of the) shortest people at the party:

I think I'm just about recovered now. My house was cleaned before and after; it's cleaner than it has been for months! Thanks Phill and

Let me know where your pictures are and I'll link to them here:

Date: 2006-09-03 08:43 pm (UTC)I must remember to try the spilling of wine on the cleavage thing lol. Thats one way for me to get some girl on girl action lmao. Hmmmm *ponders* maybe if you guys come to visit i should pretend she made me spill some on my cleavage and see if she'd clean it up for me too ;oP
As for the tall chap i think i'd feel very comfortable being stood next to him as being 6ft i rarely get the pleasure of being round people taller than me ;o)
Oh and lets not forget that you look shocking..i mean stunning with the pink hair lol ;oP
Glad the party was a success and as always i loved seeing the pics and maybe one day i'll make it down there too ;o)

Date: 2006-09-03 08:47 pm (UTC)I have been known to fly past 2 people and a table to ensure beer was not wasting by licking it from her when someone spilt it down Kissycats cleavage. Purely for the beer of course. ;)

I realised today that I actually met you at Charlie's bbq. The circle is complete and the whole world makes sense (sort of) again :D
