Team Sarah or Team Marc?

The big THREE O.  This year it's Marc and Sarah's turn to celebrate a big birthday and in true Burkie style they had a BBQ party.  Although this year it wasn't framed around "Riding the Bus" (a drinking game that had Marc completely incoherent last year).  This year it was themed as a competition.  On entering you had to pick a team; Team Sarah or Team Marc?

Before the games began, the two teams were fuelled with Pimms and well-cooked (...ok burnt to a blackened crisp) sausages and burgers.

The initiation of the games began with Gabby and Tony stripping off to reveal their surprise t-shirts.

The first set of games were with balloons, which Team Sarah just excelled at.  Team Marc had prickly fingers and kept bursting the balloons, which just made it too easy to win.

The second set of games were with hoops and cones.  This is where Team Sarah began to rapidly lose points and soon Team Marc were cheating their way up the leader board.  P.S. Can you tell that I was on Team Sarah?

Team Marc won in the end.  They were more willing to get rope and key burns in the last game.  I guess they were in it to win it.

However there were no real losers in the end.  Everyone got to have lots of yummy cake and jelly.

The night ended with Black Jack, casino style.  I was up quite a bit and then got a bit wreckless.  Don't worry though, we were playing with chips, not real money.  Don't think I would have handed my money over to Marc, who won, quite so easily.

Happy Birthday Marc and Sarah.
