Ah - you can get the X5 to go to Bicester Village! Although, I'm not sure why you would when you can get the train straight from London and the east-west link is at least five years away.

There is another Travelodge in Bedford that's got rooms for that night. It's a couple of miles from Grim's so you'd be taxi-ing there and back but I can't imagine it would cost more than a few quid for a private hire.

Aye, although I've no idea where our tent is at the moment?

Our tent's a 6-man jobber and could feasibly fit more in it as it has a large "living space" too so others are welcome to crash in it if they have airbeds etc.

I'll run it past Sal but I'm suspecting the answer will be no :D

I hope I don't have to pay model fees.

You should come, TV.

So should everyone else.

But especially you.

I like your thinking MrChris! Although, I don't just do sales videos. Perhaps there's a training provision that would benefit from a video? Perhaps Grim... is organising a seminar that could go online for delegates that can't make the day? Perhaps he has a new product or service that he'd like to show off? Whatever the reason, I can help. Reasonable rates too!

As for the Meatup though.. I'd love to come but I've just checked and I'm at a wedding that day. Great.. Another wedding. Did I ever tell you lot that my brother in law and best friend are getting married on the same day? The same day that there's a retro video game show on in Walsall. Guess which one I'd like to attend the most?

That's third on my list.

Also, I've made it sound like my brother in law and best friend are getting married to each other. They're not. They're getting married to their respective partners.

Hmm, not really. Back of a beer-mat type stuff.

You're welcome to come along and measure it, though. I can tell you what I'd have done differently, too. Why not pop in on, ooh - the 12th August?

I've got the measurements somewhere, I think.

Basically the depth is decided by the paving slabs that make up the work surface, so it's roughly 600mm deep. The work surface is 1200mm wide and the grill is 1200 mm wide, too. It's as high as you want it to be (within breeze block sizes, anyway). You build a basic E shape with the blocks and cement the ash pan into one level (which we did one brick too low, so the door is massive) and then there's some angle iron to hold the mesh for the fuel and more mesh to cook on. Building the lid is the trickiest part unless you have a handy furniture designer to do it for you. The door is 3mm stainless and the lid is 1.5mm stainless. The handles are angled brackets with broom handles in, whack some chain on the lid so it doesn't open too far and I think that's about it.

All told I think it ran about £350, but you can do it cheaper if you get the metals as offcuts.

I can take a load of photos if you'd like, but it's pretty simple stuff.

Done. I think that's only the second time I've ever used my Paypal account and I instantly removed the card details from it again because there's just something about them I don't trust.

Oh yeah, I turned that off because it always spits errors into the console and annoys me. I'll turn it back on tomorrow.

I can recommend doing this with corn

https://www.biggreenegg.co.uk/blog/reci ... ode/elotes

You can get the chill mayo they reference on Amazon or I guess just add powder\oil to normal mayo!

I did it in the oven so you don't need to drop £1500 on a Big Green Egg :)

Corn, you say?

We'll certainly bear it in mind, perhaps. Craster, do we have corn on our shopping list?
