BBQ’s Forecast “Any Fucking Day Now”

A Met Eireann spokesperson suggested that even if the good weather doesn’t continue Irish people will nevertheless attempt to have BBQs anyway.

“Well, there’s the famous Irish BBQ game, of course,” explained a grey, shuffling, Met Eireann spokesperson.

“This specifically Irish trait, known as the “I lived under a grey blanket of drudgery for the last forever now let me enjoy me bit of bleeding sun”-gene, means that whenever the sun stays out for longer than an hour at a time or the air temperature rises about 15 degrees Irish people will attempt to have BBQs, wear shorts, moan about the head and invade beer gardens.”

One man who WWN spoke to about the oncoming BBQ season said that he had already started having BBQs, having had his first one on “that first day of spring when you walk to work in just your jumper”.

“There’s the famous expression ‘Make hay while the sun shines….and then run down to Spar and grab us a bag of charcoal and we get the ole BBQ going,'” offered the BBQ enthusiast and proud owner of ‘farmer tan’ Dave Mortimer, who later said that once the young fella came back with the messages he “fired it up quick cause it was getting a bit overcast at that stage”.

“In the end it lashed out of it and we only got the paddling pool half filled,” concluded Dave. “Still though, can of Bud in hand, smell of charcoal in the air and under-cooked chicken…makes those three weeks in hospital with salmonella worth it.”
