I enjoy smaller BBQs (5/6 people) but really dislike larger "extended family friend" ones.

You know, the ones where the related host will invite everyone and there neighbour's cousins cat to sit around in a circle of sweaty plastic chairs, sunburned, all facing each other like some waiting room while we all melt away. Slowly the tinnies get opened faster, noise rises and after like an hour all the decent conversations have all ended, replaced by bad karaoke chorus of kings of leon.

Okay that escalated into PTSD, maybe its a me problem..
