Frank - I think it's about time I held a dinner
party. I’ve been out to dinner lots of times, so it must be my turn. What do
you think?
Nicole - What do I think? Well, you’ve only got 4
dining chairs, and one of them has a wobbly leg.
Frank - True, but I could have a barbie. Even the word
makes your mouth water. Gorgeous beef, marinated pork and luscious juices
dribbling down your chin. Lots of cold beer and a bowl of coleslaw.
Its so easy. As for my so called wobbly legs, everyone can sit on the grass.
Nicole - I’ve been to one of your barbeques. Three
hours to burn a sausage, but by then everyone has drunk so much beer they don’t
care.
Frank - Exactly!
Nicole - And what are you going to give the
vegetarians?
Frank - That's easy. I won't invite any. Only one
problem; it might rain.
Nicole - I'll tell you what. We can hold the party
here. I’ll make sticky toffee pudding and you can buy lots of nibbles
from the delicatessen. A big bowl of salad and some drinks and Bob's your
uncle. Then while everyone is waiting for the food to heat up they can all help
me to lay the new tiles in my bathroom.
Frank - You've got to be joking!
Nicole - Yes. Of course I am. We can forget the salad
– no one ever eats it anyway.
