Who else here is from Australia?

Post by Gandalf »

I was just wondering, as these boards get more or less constant flow of posts all day, and either people in the US/Canada are up all night or there are others in other parts of the world. So, anyone else from Australia or the region?

WeeMadAndo and Vympel are the two I can think of off the top of my head.

I want to be one too one day, but I have yet to work out exactly how. :D Anyway, I'm not there now, so it really doesn't help you out. I do however occasionally stay up waaaaaaaaaay later than I should, almost as if I was back in Ostraya. :wink:

Yup that's right Zaia;

I'm Aussie. This is Australia calling. I come from a land down under. All that jazz. :)

Vegemite is gross, and I'm fairly sure the company that makes it has been brought out by some overseas company.

Vegemite = Ick
Nutella = Yum
Boags = Yay
Milo = Mmmm
Freddo Frogs = :D

Unlike Ewo, I was only there for 6 months, but I still miss it sooooo much. I need to find a mail-order Aussie husband so I can become a citizen, since I don't think Ando will marry me. Bonehead. :wink:

Vegemite is horrible, I don't know how anyone can eat it.

What is vegemite made of?

I have heard of it and know it is a sandwich spread, but what is it?

Yeast extract, I think. It originated because it was the leftover crap from making beer, if I remember correctly. It's REEEEEEEEEALLY salty and all around nasty. Bleck.

Yep it is made of yeats extract. And it is really one of the most disgusting substances known to man.

I know plenty of single Aussie guys :wink:
But they all live in Adelaide, and it isn't that great a place.

So where do they sell it? I'm going in about a week, and from the descriptions I wanna try it out. :D

In Australia you can buy it in just about any supermarket. If you are gonna try it, be warned don't spread it thickly like nutella, spread it thin.
