Well, it *was* a metaphor.
I'm in happily married man territory and we have Christmas Lunch at lunch time. Although we don't have turkey any more.
(And let's not even go into the parts of the country where they call lunch dinner.)

Do test for leaks with soapy water after changing. At a friend's barbecue this summer, the barbie ran out of gas and I changed over the bottle for him. After changing, quick check with soapy water showed a leak at two joints where flexible tube had been secured with jubilee clips.
"Oh, I thought that first bottle ran out rather quickly." Sigh.
Ours tends to start as a late lunch (just after the Queen's speech) and end somewhat when dinner would. ;-)
Same here. When I was still living with my parents, it was a real lunch, which ended in time for the Queen's Speech. Now it's reversed.
Back then, ours was always the house where the family gathered. The turkey was always at least 22 lb, and sometimes 26 lb. Nowadays, it's hard to find them that size, unless ordered at a proper butcher, which provides better-tasting bird anyway. And we don't need them that size ourselves.
With both sons currently working in a restaurant, we have done that for several years!
Fuel gases are left hand thread. They are marked by a machined ring round the flats on the nut.
Propane Butane Acetylene Hydrogen Etc
No gunk needed, make sure there is no dirt on the mating faces. Test for leaks with soapy water for bubbles after gas is turned back on.
This latter is very important or you will run out of gas sooner than you yhink :-)
Agreed, auto changeover is good. Also you can often see how things are going by the line of condensation on the outside of the cylinder.
When I used gas bottles for the hob, the company that delivered the cylinders seemed to regard it as part of the service to disconnect and reconnect. Mind you this is going back a decade or few, and standards of service just might have plummeted. :-(
My auto valve has a white flag when the active bottle is full that changes gradually to red as the bottle empties. I assumed that they were all like that, but maybe not.
do not use a match.
Why are any threads left hand? Standards, man, standards!
If it's a nut tightening a pulley on a shaft, the direction of rotation may necessitate it.
My brush cutter (a strimmer on steroids which you can put a blade on the end of) has a reverse nut. I assume it's something to do with the direction the blade has to spin so when it jams it kicks the strimmer away from you instead of bruising your leg and tripping you up. But, 2 problems with that: 1) The blade is sitting on a shaped centre piece, so isn't forcing the nut. 2) Never mind 2, I worked it out backwards when looking at if it would loosen or not when jammed.
I have seen one used stupidly on a small butane camping cylinder - there were TWO attachments, with one thread the opposite way round, so you loosen one while you're trying to tighten the other.
Sports cars with a single central nut....
Most of those are right handed. Left handed people are inferior.

They have an indicator which shows red when the original bottle is empty. Mine has a manual pointer to the in-use bottle and when you then switch that over the indicator shows green again
Mine's the same.
What a pillock you are.
"Strike a light, I think there's a leak".
They are handed to suit the direction of travel, so that the nut is tightened as the car is driven. So 50-50.
