on thursday i entered the post office, looked at the mailing boxes and padded envelopes for sale, thought for a minute, then left again. i should have stayed and bought these particular little boxes they had, they were perfect, but there was a long line of people with frosted hair and grim sets to their mouths, and over by the window all the customer pens were broken so there was a lot of angry scritching going on, it wasn't conducive.

one day at the post office in orlando an unusual man materialised at my side and asked me to smell his bag, a shiny paper gift one, which i did not.

Rubyredd, Tuesday, 29 April 2008 02:38 (eighteen years ago)

Rubyredd, Tuesday, 29 April 2008 02:39 (eighteen years ago)

Mark C, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 07:57 (eighteen years ago)

even though i am blushing furiously and feeling very uncomfortable i intend to graciously accept these accolades and not succumb to the urge to denigrate my achievement so, difficult though this is for me, i thank you, one and all.

lxy, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 14:55 (eighteen years ago)

BOVRIL

John Justen, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 15:23 (eighteen years ago)

IT IS HERE

John Justen, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 15:23 (eighteen years ago)

so i dissolve this in something, yes?

(no urgency, i'm at work so experiments will have to wait their turn)

John Justen, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 15:24 (eighteen years ago)

HOT BOVRILLED RUM

John Justen, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 15:24 (eighteen years ago)

oh god

jergïns, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 17:44 (eighteen years ago)

John, there are 2 ways to consume Bovril:

1) make a tasty hot drink by dissolving however much of the it it suggests in boiling water

2) (and this is the good one) toast some fresh white bread, butter (or margarine) generously, and while still as hot as possible, spread bovril very thinly - most of the bread should be visible through the bovril. If the bovril is completely opaque at any point it's too thick. I reckon you'd need less than half a teaspoonful per slice.

Mark C, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 22:45 (eighteen years ago)

2) should be the method for all three on toast when the judgment day arrives, as it will: the mills of itr grind slowly but they grind exceedingly small.
