After all of this mirth and merriment, I had to go and eat some marmite toast soldiers yesterday evening. They were yummy.

Ah good, there's now less of the filth around to contaminate our lovely planet.

Does that count as three votes against.

no

Aha, another one of the brethren.

This is getting confusing - now I have to read two threads to keep track of which people around here have taste buds and which don't.

I'm currently working on the theory that the love of marmite is based either on a) defective genes or b) some kind of Pavlovian conditioning soon after birth. Surely this is the only explanation why anyone could possibly be fooled into thinking they liked the stuff. Should anyone who likes marmite wish to assist me in my research, I would be grateful if you could drill a hole in your head, remove some brain cells, wrap them in clingfilm and send them to me c/o my hotmail account(which should be fairly self-explanatory). If you shove them in your disk drive you should be able to send me them as an attachment. Honest.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I'm right behind you on this one Orcus. The sooner we get this stuff banned the better.

Well Clive seems to be eating the world supply at the moment - I think we should support his efforts at ridding us of this stuff.

Weakpun, I created this really to help myself, it was getting confusing counting who'd voted on the ask h2g2 thread. Here I have names so people can't vote twice or I don't count them twice (expcept those with multiple personas - I can only ask them to be honest).

Plus I learned how to use the tag writing this

I really must find something better to do

Oh. Okay. I won't ask what the tag is in case you tell me.

Yay, go Clive! We should do a Cool Hand Luke with him - see how many tubs of marmite he can eat in an hour. If it's lots, we could keep it going for a long time, thus reducing further the marmite supply.

Of course, we could just blow up the factory.

I'd go for the latter as the former is surely death by slow poisoning (if not worse ).
Quicker too

Marmite? One of the more vile substances known to man.

On Toast, in scrambled egg, on bacon butties, shepherds pie, with bananas, pizzas, as a substitute soy sauce, with tomatoes, stirred into a Bloody Mary, spread on fresh sardines before barbecueing, with a ploughman's lunch and a , to sniff when on a strict diet, a warming drink on a cold wet day, with croutons in soup.

I think you can take this as a YES

* climbs onto soapbox *

* clears throat *

* speaks into microphone, which is hooked up to Disaster Area's sound system on a planet on the other side of the galaxy *

Hear ye, all ye good people of the Universe! Profane thyselves not with Marmite, lest ye experience for thineselves the putrid taste and smell which, I am wont to believe, doth spring from the very mind of the himself!

Good people, cast out thy Marmite, and spread thy toast with soft cheese or home-made fruit preserves. Live thy lives away from its foul odour, and allow it not to contaminate thy cutlery.

* steps off soapbox and hides *

Oh yes, I think you need to put me on the 'haters' list.

*considers smiting down all marmite haters but then thinks better of it.*

s GW for being sensible and supporting the One, True Spread.

I don't horde the stuff y'know, I merely champion it's inclusion into the diets of the Masses.
