    Good point about sprouts. But who has sprouts in a regular roast... can you even buy them this time of year?

    Sprouts are indeed, a winter crop (one of the few)
    but its always winter somewhere, and with globalisation...

    you can get strawberries in winter
    and sprouts in late April

    A nice roast chicken dinner with stuffing, and brocolli.
    There's your culprit. Brocolli. Another member of the Brassica family along with sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower.

    I had lots of roast dinners and never had the problem you mention. Other foods, sure, but meat+potato+veg is pretty orthodox and balanced. Again... sounds like your bowels are too far into adulthood.
    Sprouts can be fairly trumpy.

    But I suspect from the timing (meal, followed by trivial purSuities, followed by methane megatrumps) that SYs problems stem more from home brews consumed the previous day.

    A few other factoids to stand you well in your passage into adulthood.

    Never force a tulip.
    Don't mix your drinks, particularly ouzo and red wine.
    When working away, women in hotel bars called Saffron want to be more than just friends.
    A red ring round your gentlemen is lipstick, whereas a green one may be gangreen.
    Did I mention never ever forcing a tulip?
    Avoid Kopi Luwak.
    Always be the first to get a round in.
    Burp the worm at least once a week.
    Treat anyone who's last name is that of a town or city with care.
    Anusol HC+ ointment is the best above all other similar products.
    Mankinis are also conversation starters, especially at barbeques.
    Popcorn can be deceptively binding in large quantities.
    Avoid anyone called Des like the plague.
    And never ever ever ever ever force a tulip.

    Get a dog.
    Then you can enjoy the full aroma whilst being exhonerated of all blame

    I suggest a labrador. or maybe a hyena, at least a hyena will laugh whilst you are shouting at it

    They have just left after an entire evening of me constantly doing roast dinner farts. Relentless, at least two deep throaty ones every minute. The whole room is smog ridden, and they just crawled out as if their lives depended on it.

    The MIL made a passing comment as she left about getting charcoal underpants.

    And guess what? They actually exist.

    Long wait until Christmas though. Perhaps father's day.
    Bet your mother in law is as proud as mrs middelton, her daughter snagged such a class act.
