You announce: "Friends, let me host a barbecue party at mine!"
1. You realise that you haven't got any food…
Then try and carry it home on the bus, making your hand turn into a numb criss-crossed claw
2. No one shows up at the allotted time
3. The weird guys from work, who you only invited to be polite, show up first
4. Quickly followed by the person who brings cheap, cardboard-y sausages…
5. You can't get the barbecue started
6. Then you're a bit surprised when it finally works
7. All the men gather caveman-like around the fire
Where they take part in the age-old primitive ritual of insulting the fire-creator's barbecuing technique.
8. It takes you a few tries to get the delicate balance between charred and destroyed

9. You cut the sausages open…
The first sausages are off the grill and they meet all the requirements of a British barbecue: burnt on the outside, raw inside.
10. The chicken legs are good though
11. You'll either have too many burger buns or not enough
12. Someone bring along their mate Dave
13. All indoor chairs will be commandeered for outside
14. A wasp will be spotted
15. Someone brings those little French beers
16. It rains

18. You'll realise that it's actually a bit too cold to be sitting outside
19. You go to bed meat-stuffed and happy
