MARMITE RULZ AND VEGEMITE SUX SHIT

thanx mark c i will eat or drink or whatever i'm supposed to do with that whatever stuff and i will enjoy it.

dear roxy, if you promise to eventually get around to putting up the 1p3 best blonde poll (that sunny is going to win) i will mail you vegemite.

marmite is good with cheese too

vegemite is good with cheese; marmite is marmite with cheese.

I looooooool'd

i still don't even understand what marmite nor vegemite is. i know i can look it up, but they sound really artificial and false, and it's probably better that i don't know what i'm eating before i eat it.

lol what jokes will follow that comment omg lol tee hee

i like how non-commital roxy was about the blonde poll. and straight-up changed the subject!

thread needs bovril pix

Tesco didn't have the wee jars of Bovril. My search will have to move further afield.

this morning i smiled at the two dear little jars of international vegemite sitting patiently on my kitchen bench but that is as far as it went, i was too busy to mail them. 'not today,' i told them. 'we don't mind,' they said, 'how long will we be we going for? when can we come home again?' and i turned my face so they would not see my tears.

u got mail, estela

Hey estela, do you want some bovril?

"Alas! my poor Brother"

i sent you a reply, roxy.

thank you, mark c, but i've had bovril before, it has quite a few nostalgic fans over here.

there is a reasonably high chance that the tasters won't like any of our offerings but we will deal with that if and when it happens.

Is your lack of comment on bovril's deliciousness a polite way of expressing your dislike?

Also - where do cherry ripes come from? Aus or Ca?

i figured out what i'm going to send to our kind overseas friends!!

mark c and estela, webmail addresses to me?

Sent! Woo!

received, mark c. !YaY and HurraY!

what are you going to send lxy? or is it a surprise?

A surprise! A surprise!

of course it is a surprise. do you even know me, lingblert?

no who are you

i AM a surprise!

(i don't know what it means but i like how it sounds)

hahahahaha this thread

oh shit i just remembered: promite >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> marmite.

what is promite and do we have to taste that too?

oh shit accent monkey asked me to send her promite months ago and i never got round to it! i hope she doesn't see this thread and get mad that i sent off marmite to other ilxors so quickly!

Guys I found the bovril! Now I need to figure out a) a way of packaging it and b) US customs laws.

Waitrose - where I specifically went for bovril (but ended up doing a $225 shop) - didn't have any! But they did have vegemite!! The world is UPSIDE DOWN!!!

how many mites do you people have

I had scabies once.

please don't send those

It's okay, they cleared up a good nine years ago. Only infestation I currently suffer from is moths. Though it was kind of poignant - I emptied, swept and bleached the shelves where the moths had been breeding, and a few hours later I found one solitary moth sitting on the back wall in an empty cupboard.

EARLY ARRIVAL POINT TO MARMITE!

promptness is one of itrs core values

yesterday,

jergins: i got mail from so-and-so today.
lxy: but no marmite?
jergins: what?
lxy: no marmite?
jergins: huh?
lxy: are you saying no marmite arrived today?
jergins: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??!!!
lxy: DID A PACKAGE FROM RUBYREDD COME IN THE MAIL TODAY!!?!
jergins: all i could hear was "nomar might, nomar might, nomar might."

YAY JOHN JUSTEN YOUR POSTAL SYSTEM DOES NOT SUCK BALLS AFTERALL

i don't know if this has been mentioned, but a little warning:
while vegemite is fairly mellow, marmite is STRONG - only use about half a teaspoon on a piece of bread. (obv this advice is for the seattle crowd, not for you mr justen, who will only be enjoying marmite in a drink. in which case, one whole teaspoon to one medium sized bloody mary would probably be adequate)

lxy, i hope your marmite arrives soon!

I will send the bovril on the weekend, promise! Rubes, did you make any kind of customs declaration? Also, come chat :)

i just wrote "prepackaged food" which is what i usually put when i send chocolate and stuff to jordan, and it gets there fine. no chatz today! must clean room! the minimisation process is beginning and i've already gotten rid of two huge rubbish bags of clothes... i'm boxing up all my books now ;_;

did slow estela send the vegemite yet

nomar might yet

lingbert: no but i have got some bubble wrap now. progress, not perfection.

slow estela sounds like the name of a gullible character from a fairy tale, a plain looking girl with limited prospects inexpertly wielding a broom.

i need to know something, if i include a surprise (a nice one) for sara in the package to john is it going to cause inconvenience, i don't know how far away you are from each or how often you catch up.

it should be no problem, unless it is a really nice thing in which case i will keep it and stop returning her phone calls

estela, I <3 you.

John, you are lucky that I am fond of you.

i know, it helps me get free nice stuff!

I am so tired that I have lost all my impulses to strangle you, John.

WHERE IS MY SURPRISE PEOPLE
