We're having one.
Am I pushing it if I do a bit of a "Yeeee-Ha" playlist & demand that everyone turns up dressed as Roy Rogers and/or Trigger too?

I'm sure it'll go down a treat 
Wish I was sociable 
Cosmo, it was my Dads 70th over the last weekend, and we did a hog roast for him.
I made sure we had this playing for him
However, the afternoon did not end like the one in the film did 
Well I'm relieved the outcome was a tad different, cinds!
I've got that on my playlist; thought I'd really screw their marbles by opening with the theme from The Big Country
A nice bit of cracklin for Baz and her dodgy doggy bag 
Velvet..! C'mon, come on over. I'll save you a trotter
PS, meant to say this is a party the DAY AFTER England play France 
So Coq in a Van was out of the question.
Cosmo it will be amazing. Sorry, I'm still giggling about that music from dads party, as we've just back from another meal out tonight for his actual birthday and we were laughing about it again tonight.
BTW, please may I have some crackling too. (make sure it's got no hairs on it though)

Coq in a van ...... *sighs and remembers her teens*
Fear not; I've got a blow torch and I ain't afraid to use it 
If you can do coq au vin on a barbeque I'll write bigger.
You should go as Dolly Parton.

You don't think a woman's going to get a look in near a barby, do you?
It's a man's job.

She did say it was out of the question. BUT you can also out pans on a BBQ
Why do they call it a Hog and not a Pig ?

'Cos 'Hog' sounds like a beast whereas 'Pig' makes you think of Babe
And Pinky & Perky.
It's the same in Germoney. They use younger pigs and call them something like Spanferkels.
One needs a heavy alcohol dose to even consider eating them.
If you roast Pinky and Perky it'll be Kings Cross.
And I've got a white Cortina.

What mark?
I was brought up with the musical skills of Pinky and Perky (superior to the eurovish standard) and that's why I am unable to eat them.

I'm not sure but isn't mutton a sheep that is 2 years old..?
And lamb is less than 12 months? So how young is this younger pig?
I may have made that up btw.
I'm still scoffing Hog with apple sauce come the day.
Don't get me wrong! I was at a wedding, had imbibed a huge dose of alcohol, and did eat.

Ahh nuptials. They can make people do funny things.
You don't know the half of it!
The best part was sitting down on benches and watching ..... The Fatherland 1-5 England.
Will there be some of this?

True. But he's very effective for insomnia. But so's my Yeeee-Ha playlist 
I'm going to have to tweak it.
He's a hand though 
Well that's one way of describing him.
Bet he can't sing either.
