Only if the heel surrounds 3 roundels of fried white pudding and HP Sauce. No, Varley not wholegrain Dijon mustard, HP Sauce.

Who is HLMK Henry VIII ?
Has Herman and his Hermits been told?
Was the Wainscoting "Oak"?, I do hope so.

Sorry BB.
Best that I can do is have some put aboard the Pilot Boat for when the GD next visits Melbourne. (Do we trifle with Pilots?)
Used to be available in gallon tins (like paint) for outback stations (perhaps ships) but no longer apparently.
Stay safe!

wow YM now my mouth is watering at the sight of the Jar.

Malcolm G 23rd January 2021 11:58

Just looked online - 2.5kg catering size buckets of the stuff are still available, minimum purchase x 4.

I think that is what is required here.

My mouth waters but my piles bleed.
BTW is 10 kgs of vegamite enough to kill all the cane toads in Queensland?

Varley 23rd January 2021 15:25

If a pilot wants vegemite a pilot may have as much as he brings aboard (for the sake of good order 'he' is merely shorthand I do not preclude the existence of lady pilots, whether Vegemite or Marmite would be especially tempting is another matter, especially if applied Germaloidally). Preparation V?

YM-Mundrabilla 24th January 2021 01:13

'... BTW is 10 kgs of vegemite enough to kill all the cane toads in Queensland? ... '

I use 1.1kg of Vegemite each year and have been doing so for the last few years that I have been keeping records so in the last 50 years I guess that I would have consumed well over 55 kg.

It hasn't killed me (yet)................. but I like to think that I am not a toad although one of my former titles before retirement was 'Lizard in Chief'
:curtain_call::bye:...... :angel:

Varley 24th January 2021 18:04

Now that is dedication! I suppose I could estimate my Marmite consumption in units of 'a jar per some unit of time' but that would be neither accurate or interesting - well not to me. My consumption of Vegemite approximates (as in 'to all intentions any purpose') to zero. That does not mean that I consider Vegemiters as deviant. (Not very anyway).

Preperation V ? I rather think not.
Take your spare "H" from #6828 and add it to your germaloidally suspect ointment and you have Preparation H.
Isn't O-Level Chemistry marvellous.

Redundant?

I have liberated him from life in dark, smelly, moist crevasses and was expecting a BZ.

Varley 26th January 2021 13:52

Zn or Zr? Not sure either would combine with B.

Um sorry to disillusion you young man but you need a JOB to be made redundant from.

Wandering about the injun room waving a pair of mole grips doesn't count, and in any case there aren't any moles in the injun room. :yawn:

YM-Mundrabilla 26th January 2021 22:26

So no redundancy payment for long and meritorious service 'wandering about the injun room waving a pair of mole grips'.
Not so sure about 'no moles in the injun room' - somebody is obviously leaking 'wandering about the injun room waving a pair of mole grips'. indeed :cloud:

a word in YM's defence. he was using mole grips to remove the lid off his Vegemite Jar. (Eats it off the spoon you know)

Someone left his "King Dick" collection lying around, was he deserting to Mole Grips?

billyboy 28th January 2021 04:31

Only Dick I ever saw down there had H&W stamped on it.

Engine Serang 28th January 2021 05:41

Billy don't be a Dick Head, Tmac hasn't got a stamp it is a big tattoo. He thinks its body art but it is a tattoo.

Malcolm G 28th January 2021 08:59

Is that Footprints in the corner? Or just a bendy Chinese copy? Or maybe it's my eyes and it's somebody's footprints.
If they are real then they're mine! Don't care who dropped them, they're mine.

Varley 28th January 2021 14:18

A big tattoo. Are you boasting on his behalf?

I am unworthy to do anything on my masters behalf, John 1.27 refers.

Engine Serang 28th January 2021 17:24

Always open the lid of a 5 gallon tin of Vegemite or Vegewont using the tang of a big bastard file. The Aussies do and all of them have high carbon steel shrapnel in their brain causing most of them to think they can waltz. At the Billabong.

Engine Serang 1st February 2021 06:25

Story in this mornings Daily Mail:

"Tourists watch in amazement as a cheeky kangaroo breaks into their Australian holiday home and helps himself to a jar of Vegemite and a packet of crisps"

One wonders if the cheeky beast is Mr YM in disguise?

Could be. I hear Tmac say he was watching him hopping around the engine room.

Who told Tmac?

I have long suspected that there is a mole in the ER. Clearly there is a leak from somewhere down here as to my activities. Do we have anyone named Schmidt on board? This leak is quite apart from the one causing water to slosh around (outside) the boilers.

As for hopping around, I am merely avoiding the mole droppings amongst the clinker.

Perhaps I have overdone the Vegemite but one must keep up one's salt levels in the valiant hope of a getting a few 40° + C days down here (in Oz). So far only one day this summer. How about a couple of weeks in Port Hedland BB? :sweat::wave:

billyboy 2nd February 2021 01:42

still swinging round the hook awaiting orders. All keep your ears open for a call over the radio from the agent while I am buzy doing chat corrections.

Engine Serang 2nd February 2021 06:48

I'll drop around for a chat this afternoon, I enjoy our little tete a tetes or "tête-à-tête" as the Germans call it. But I'll leave immediately if you start talking about joining the Friends of Bill W. No place for extremism in my vocabulary.

As for Port Headland...... hardly Las Vegas, more like Ramsey on a warm day and with iron ore dust under your foreskin. Avoid ay all costs.

Varley 2nd February 2021 12:46

Helmet abrasives? Nothing done like that in Ramsey and we don't want you importing any of your jaded Hibernian practices here thank you - we are still dealing with a glut of neatly cubed plastic chop sticks. Dampier could do with something to raise its aesthetic, try there.

Tmac1720 2nd February 2021 15:59

Greetings crew type persons, it is I the Injuneer wot is here.

First of all my apologies for being a tad remiss in attending to my duties as alas I have been otherwise occupied dealing with an abundance of crap I neither wanted or asked for but I know I have a most able deputy in ES who will oversee all injun related duties as well as maintain Squeek and Eric in the standard of luxury they are accustomed to.

I note with some jealousy that the hostelries have reopened for business on that lump of rock situated in the Irish Sea, Isle of something or other, navigation never was my strong point but David hides himself there among the fairies. However it would appear that we are NOT welcome as it is residents only. Perhaps Lord Varley could have a word with the minions in power and grant us thirsty mariners some dispensation.

I hope to rejoin our merry band full time as soon as possible however in the meantime I shall be lurking around in the vicinity, nothing beats a good lurk, keeping a watching eye on you miscreants.

Stay safe and well you lot.

billyboy 2nd February 2021 21:36

thanks Tmac, we will, you too mate.
Of to the city this morning armed with two QR codes and a travel pass (official) to attend the office of immigration for my annual report. out of house and out of town yipee!

Best wishes for a quick recovery Tmac.
Try a spoonful or three of this.
There is a jar for each crew member of the GD.
