In a shocking revelation that has the entire nation clutching its tongs, a hospital has admitted the first British man to suffer from the exhausting ailment known as barbecue fatigue. Martin Bishop, 55, set out this summer with dreams of charred sausages and burnt burgers, planning for maybe a couple of weekends of grilling glory.

However, Mother Nature had other plans, and due to relentless heatwaves, Martin found himself having to showcase his signature marinade to fellow hobby-limited gentlemen every single weekend. His initial joy of buying 12 sausage varieties and getting laughs with his 'LET THE GOAT COOK' apron (yes, there's a goat in a chef's hat!) quickly turned into weariness.

Martin lamented, "It was fun at first, but now I'm just tired and sweaty, standing over a hot grill in the blazing sun. I even find myself missing vegetables. Plus, what's the point of having an expensive oven if I'm cooking like a caveman? And let's face it, barbecuing is just not the same without the danger of impending rain."

His wife, Donna, sympathetically noted, "Martin has discovered the grim truth that when you do something as a regular household chore, like cooking, it's no longer enjoyable. Who would have thought?"
