[Leslie]

ACK to the Father and the Son, but I'll worship the Holy Spirit :D

[unclehobart]

Dunno meaning 'ick yuck'? or dunno meaning 'What the all to cock 'ell izzat'? or dunno meaning 'its all bark and no trousers'?

[unclehobart]

I'm probably all of like one of three people alive who sips Bovril right from the jar.

Guinness is lush. Vegemite and Bovril are just wank versions of Marmite. :)

MuFu.

[unclehobart]

Bovril is cow. I have marmite as well... but the vegemite was handy for the photo. I'm down to precious little of it. I can't find a local supplier.

[unclehobart]

Now im running out of bovril. i need a new supplier.

[HeXp£Øi±]

Guinness is ok...but i always preferred those really strong japanese beers & stiff stouts(Oatmeal stout!).
But then...i'm a raging Alcoholic. :D

[unclehobart]

strong japanese beer? aint no such animal.

[HeXp£Øi±]

I don't know, maybe it was Chinese? It's been awhile since i drank that stuff. My primary drink was Vodka, whiskey etc. Fucking savage i was. Beer was just my hangover medicine.

[quote="fury"]Check the dates, asswipe. The appropriate forum didnt exist when the place was a week old. I would move it if I could. You have that power.. move it or ignore it under granfathering reasons. Being a smartass is no substitute for correcting error.

[HeXp£Øi±]

Read the source and i'm still baffled. :confuse3:

[HeXp£Øi±]

Oh...i see. That was an interesting(not often seen) display of aggression unc, assuming it was real.


Still curious about what amp means but i'll butt out now...

[Leslie]

Now im running out of bovril. i need a new supplier.They don't have it in the grocery stores there?

[Gato_Solo]

He lives in Joja. Of course he has stores. Just none that sell that icky stuff. ;)

[Gonz]

what? no veta-vita-vegamin? and where's the cod liver oil :D

[unclehobart]

Now im running out of bovril. i need a new supplier.They don't have it in the grocery stores there?Lord no. There are no brit products to speak of at all without going into a specialty store. My local farmers market has this one rack which is a single depth rack all of 6 feet long. On it is crammed Indian rice, tea, marmite, HP sauce, OXO, a few quick strir fry curry sauces... thats all. Bovril is beyond rare.

[Nixy]

You don't have HP Sauce?! *passes out*

[unclehobart]

Couldnt use it anyway... has corn and soy.

[unclehobart]

No need to put yourself out. Shipping costs alone would double it up.. triple after I have to send you a payback letter. :)

[unclehobart]

Im sure there has to be SOMEPLACE here that still carries it... I just havent found them yet.

[Leslie]

:confuse3: It never dawned on me that there would be a store that didn't have it. It's kind of astounding.

[Leslie]

It's even in all the convenience stores here, it's a staple.

[unclehobart]

Well.. Do remember that we have our own kernel industries like Heinz, Kraft, Claussen and such making stuff to 'assumed' local tatstes. Our population is rather mishmash culturewise. I guess that the isolationist mentality from the turn of the century through WW2 didnt allow for market penetration of european goods. A lot of our goods seem to come from Pennsylvania and Ohio based companies. We were just raised oh so differently. Its amazing how our countries can be in such a bearhug against each other and yet be so damn different. Canada, since youre all so calm and quiet and have a population of less than California, don't even register on our radars 95% of the time. You arent a squeaky wheel.. you get no grease. Heck... 6 months ago I didnt know what side of the road you drove on.

[Leslie]

We've got all the regular brands for sale here too, I guess I had assumed Bovril would have been among them. Wow :D

[Nixy]

America enjoys getting other countries to open up to free trade so they can put their factories there and get cheap labour but when it comes to importing into america that is when they don't like free trade :rolleyes:

[unclehobart]

I hope thay have it... and that its cheaper than the last place I found. The last place I found had the dinky 125g jars going for the equivalent of 8$cdn.

[Leslie]

:eek: $8?! SHIT! It'd still be cheaper for me to send it! :eek:

[unclehobart]

America enjoys getting other countries to open up to free trade so they can put their factories there and get cheap labour but when it comes to importing into america that is when they don't like free trade :rolleyes: Which has nothing to do with what Im talking about here.

[unclehobart]

:eek: $8?! SHIT! It'd still be cheaper for me to send it! :eek:Rarity makes for an easily inflated price... just like DeBeers controlling the diamond trade and keeping the world prices stable and damn high.

I never was able to find anything other than the 125g jars anyway. I'd like to get my paws on a few 300g+ jars.

[Nixy]

:blush:

[unclehobart]

Nix. Dont get me wrong. My angle isn't about raw ecconomics. Its about culture. 99.9% of the population here find marmite, bovril, and curry to be absolutely gag city. Its not available because of tarrifs... its not here because people cant stand it because they wernt raised on it.

[Justintime]

And finally this thread goes where it belongs :P

[Jeslek]

[unclehobart]

you should dabble with marmite. its the vegan choice for natural dietary B complex vitamins.

[Justintime]

:sick:

[Jeslek]

you should dabble with marmite. its the vegan choice for natural dietary B complex vitamins.I'd rather not, I don't like the taste at all.

[unclehobart]

really? I eat the stuff out of the jar like peanut butter. I love it.

[Jeslek]

really? I eat the stuff out of the jar like peanut butter. I love it.And people think I'm weird for _thinking_ of snowballing... :sick:

[unclehobart]

What can i say... I have a salt tooth... not a sweet one. The stuff is salty as hell. 90% oif the time I use a dab or two as a soup base.

[Jeslek]

Yeah I know its salty, and I don't have a salt tooth. Nor a sweet one.

[Aunty Em]

Marmite. :)

I eat the stuff out of the jar like peanut butter. I love it.

Thick buttered toast and marmite - it's one of those things you love or hate. Yum, yum. :D :D :D :headbang:

I got into guiness when I was pregnant - but sacrilege - I like it ice cold. :eek: :eek: :eek:

[kuulani]

I never tried marmite ... never even heard of it before unc ... but I probably eat stuff here that would make you guys gag too ... ever heard of patis? :D

[fury]

And people think I'm weird for _thinking_ of snowballing...

Enlighten me...

[unclehobart]

patis.. thats just a weak variant of korean chotkai

[unclehobart]

I never tried marmite ... never even heard of it before unc ... but I probably eat stuff here that would make you guys gag too ... ever heard of patis? :DI would describe the flavor of marmite as being a peanut butter soft goo, reddish black in color, and tasting like a reduced salt beef bullion cube. Its utterly vegan and crammed with the whole B vitamin spectrum.

[Ardsgaine]

I got into guiness when I was pregnant

You're female? You argue like a guy... :)





Oh... that was a compliment, btw. :P

And


::runs for cover:: :lol:

*hides*

I will take it as the compliment. Why the heck would I call myself Aunty Em if I was a guy? I've probably been arguing with my brothers for longer than you've been on this earth - I guess it rubs off.

Not wishing to boast - just to illustrate - I'm a trained nurse and I rode big bad motorbikes for 13 years, including rebuilding 3 of 'em myself and practiced and taught Karate and Aikijitsu until a bike accident put paid to that. I now have a Batcholars Degree in Applied Biology with Environmental Studies - technically I'm a research scientist.

I'm webmaster for 3 websites including one national and one international charity, plus I have four of my own - which really do need some work on them so I won't give out any addresses! I teach basic IT to beginners, write my own html and am learning to program in VB6 (databases) and javascript with a view to studying a few other languages - when I get the time. I also have built and try to trouble-shoot my own computers - in lieu of bikes I guess. I'm a published poet and am writing my first novel - if I ever get it finished.

Oh yes and I'm studying with Lampeter College at The University of Wales and just starting my 3rd year of Spanish. I would say I'm probably not your average female, but then I've never let gender stand in my way.

[Ardsgaine]

Hell, I don't know... Why would a woman call herself Uncle Hobart?

:P ;)

I guess we'll have to make you an honorary guy, then. :)

[Scanty]

i'm gonna call one of my kids uncle hobart. :) preferably a girl

[Aunty Em]

You're too late. The war-gamers club already did that years ago and because of my height, short hair and stocky build anyone seeing me in bike gear with my helmet on just assumed I was. I've lost count of how many times I've been called "Sir". ;)

[unclehobart]

Ive been called ma'm twice in my life. Fully shaved, I have a baby face. When my hair is down and combed out ... and someone gives you a half glance when doing something else and blurts out ... one sec, ma'm. And then they get one more second of digesting my image and then realize that I'm 3 feet wide, 2 feet thick, arms larger than most legs .. aka, vey guy.. they get that shocked 'whoopsie' look on the face and apologize. It once happened to me when I had a full beard.

[unclehobart]

i'm gonna call one of my kids uncle hobart. :) preferably a girlYou can name your boy UNCLE HOBART ... using all caps for that fierce, dominating appearace. Guaranteed hero worship on the playground.

[Ardsgaine]

Ive been called ma'm twice in my life.

I think I was the first 2nd-grader in Tallahassee to give up sidewalls and go for the hippy look. This would've been c.1970. I was mistaken for a girl more than twice. Once the lady at the concession stand of the wrestling arena sent me to the ladies room by mistake. That was pretty embarrassing. Another time I told the principle of our school that this guy had hit me, and he told me I should go kiss him. I was pretty shocked and he was pretty embarrassed when I explained to him that I was a BOY!! :mad2:

I guess he wasn't too embarrassed, though, since he was still telling that damn story years later. He even told it to my mother-in-law. :grumpy:

[unclehobart]

At least mine took place when I was just shy of 30.

[freako104]

the guiness looks good i dont know about the other two never tried them.

[Ardsgaine]

At least mine took place when I was just shy of 30.

By the time I was 30 I didn't have to worry about it anymore. That beautiful head of hair was about 40% gone. :P

I feel your pain. *sigh*

[Ardsgaine]

I feel your pain. *sigh*

I was about 18 when my barberette said, "you've got this little spot back here..." I thought she was a lyin' bitch. Shit wasn't funny... It kept getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger.... Damn.

It sucks... if I had known then what I know now, I could've saved it. :grumpy:

[Inkara1]

I feel your pain too. My hair's getting awful thin up front, considering that I'm only 21.

[Professur]

Hmmm. I wonder if posting here makes your hair fall out??

[unclehobart]

Nah. Its probably just the radiation leakage from the monitor.. the watch... the tv... the microwave... cell phones... starbucks...

[Nixy]

You don't have HP Sauce?! *passes out*

When I read that they dont' have HP sauce around Unc this was once again my reaction...then when I got to this post I was like "WOW, I thought the same thing then!"

[unclehobart]

We have HP sauce now. Its not common.. but its here.

[Nixy]

We have HP sauce now. Its not common.. but its here.

Good to hear :D

[unclehobart]

cant eat it though as its made from corn and soy shite.

[Nixy]

Yes, I read that a way up there :D

My brother can't eat Ceasar Salad Dressing...or Whorchester Sauce...or HP me thinks...cause they have anchovies in them :D HAHAHA serves him right for boycotting meat...his vegetarianism has made me suffer...we had sheppard's pie tonight...made with textured vegtable protein...in like spaghetti or chilli it's ok..but in sheppard's pie it was shite...:(

Then how on earth is he ever gonna learn to eat pussy?

[Nixy]

Then how on earth is he ever gonna learn to eat pussy?

I dunno...his gf is vegetarian too...I guess it's an interesting relationship...:eyebrow:

[Inkara1]

So he can't give her his meat, but they can use veggies?

[Nixy]

So he can't give her his meat, but they can use veggies?

OK, this conversation ends HERE! This is my baby brother!

[Professur]

So? He's not ours.

[Professur]

*wonders if Rob ever tracked down his *mite*

[tonksy]

There is some in the pantry getting old...

[Professur]

And now?

[tonksy]

Getting older...

[highwayman]

Any wiser?

[tonksy]

The marmite? I doubt it.

[unclehobart]

It would probably be Yeti, motzah balls, and Grandma Utz's potato chips these days.

[Professur]

Well? We're waiting....

[tonksy]

It would probably be Yeti, motzah balls, and Grandma Utz's potato chips these days.

When I'm in a drinking mood mine would be Summer Hummer, Pinot Grigio, or a pomengranate margarita....all paired with triscuits.
