General / Off-Topic Does England ban Marmite? YOU DECIDE!

[Arry]

Just allow a certain amount of Marmite in based on need and a points system.

Based on need is fine by me! Can I can it free, through my local pharmacy?

George VI?

All of the Georges and most of the Charles to date anyway. It took about 400 years to sort out and the Irish still have some issues with it.

 

[Arry]

Is this an English matter? Can a Welshman vote on this?

That would depend on your motives I think.

No! no no no!

Banning Marmite is one thing and just the poll answers that question for us. Not going to happen.

Banning Marmite because the Australians want us too? 'Ailing Australian cricketing cousins?' Yer right, England beats them once in a while and the whole country goes into 'Turmoil', they beat England and the Aussies burn the stumps and claim the death of English cricket. The Aussies just love to ridicule the English; every time they loose! Australia has far more time to practice their game; just look at the weather difference, for a start. I am not English, I am British and my money always goes on the English cricket teams, opponents; whoever they play in the world, as it is more often the winning bet. Yet when the Australians loose an Ashes match, I just have to smile, even if I have lost my money.

I have just seen why this is 'news', that is just silly, a joke! Banning it because people are using it to make hooch! One, go to any bakers, buy yeast. Two, say you are buying it to MAKE beard, if you really have too!?

............personally I use a mix of yeasts myself, bakers and Champagne with a dip from the pot. Bakers yeast is always good in a rum mash.

 

[RMORTI]

Don't do it!~ He'll be talking about eating scrambled eggs and cockles for breakfast instead of marmite on toast.

Oh aye it's all peaceful an t'all then come them steamed cockles and the radio starts playing "It's not unusual"

Did someone mention bacon butties? <munches happily>

I don't think it is silly. But I'm not going to take sides, though.
You need to remember there are big problems in the Aboriginal communities with alcohol and unemployment.

George VI?

PS I don't think the Monarch isn't allowed into the Houses of Parliament, just the House of Commons.

I fear for the future of this country

I was aware of the Aboriginal drinking issue, but lets be honest as far as 'drinking' is concerned, the natives of the land are not alone. Did you hear about some truck fest a few years ago? The local authorities tried to restrict the amount of cans going in per person; too something like 40 cans per person per day. So the people took to going to the site days before and burying beer, just in case they ran out!

Ban the Marmite!

Long live Bovril

That is why I am not taking sides. Too complex a subject for me.

No need to ask what happens next!!

EDIT: Can one of the Mods fix this poll please? I have it on good authority that seventeen thousand people have voted to ban Marmite but their votes aren't being registered. Obviously a forum bug.

I have it from a Very Senior Party Source that the real explanation is that the Mods have been ordered to go through the entries and weed out all the votes cast by known Vegemite Party Members and Bovril Entryists to ensure that only the right and proper democratic result will, err... result

Lick the knife?

Lick the knife?

No no, one of Australian top-order goes out to the crease with it in the hopes it'll be better than an actual bat.

Burton on Trent! Smells of Marmite!

<phone rings at The Oval>
"I'd like to have a word with Michael Clarke, about his Marmite delivery please"
"Sorry, he can't talk right now, he's just gone in to bat."
"No problem, I'll hold."

That's not Marmite, that's brewing beer.

 

[ReijaBones]

Marmite is absolutely woeful.

So I guess you voted to make it compulsory in schools, then?

 

[Winterwalker]

That's not Marmite, that's brewing beer.

By-product yeast (at least was) supplied by Bass Brewery.

Or, if you like your tipple a little bit more upmarket, get ready for Marmite Cocktails!
Not even a joke. The Marmite Goldrush used a special edition MM (with gold leaf in the goo)

I could, but I like marmite. I can correct Leg Bye though, if you wish?

Two, say you are buying it to MAKE beard, if you really have too!?

I just sleep and beard seems to make itself.
