Went to a BBQ last night, which seemed like a great way to end the pre-A Levels week. We’ve had nothing but good weather for the past 5 days, and that trend continued into the night. The sun set around 8.30 so we had plenty of time for food, drink and basketball.
Some bright spark came up with the idea to chuck the basketball from over the BBQ, into the hoop. This worked without any problems for them. Somebody else tried to ape the act. Chucking the basket ball forward, it hit the wall and bounced back into the BBQ, splattering white-hot burning coals everywhere onto the floor.
Oh, did I forget to say me and my girlfriend where sitting in front of the BBQ, on the floor? 
Quick! Stand Up! Your sitting on fire!
Luckily for me, Jeans aren’t that flammable, so it takes longer for them to burn. The fire didn’t spread too fast, so she was fine and nought was burnt. Could have been worse. 
Close call.
Perhaps a flame retardent towel would be a good accessory for BBQ nights?
“your sitting on fire” - definitely sounds like a euphemism for something!
