Title: Marmite or Bovril?
Post by: Fatdave on February 26, 2006, 03:38:17 AM: Im a Bovril man myself unless the Marmite is cunningly disguised in a bag of twiglets.

Work that one out.

Post by: Circuitbenders on April 21, 2006, 02:24:05 PM: Thats some crazy shit! ;)

Although is there any evidence that its really marmite on twiglets? You think about that.

There was a guy on Ebay selling optical theremins in Marmite jars (all the controls and the sensor were mounted on the lid), after a scare in a postal sorting office - full bomb squad event, he got a visit from MI5 and was told not to make any more or else - now that's some crazy shit ;)

Yeast extracted from Tesco's? Sounds revolting. ;)

Quality tenuous link to something vaguely on topic though, i'm impressed. I'm just waiting for one of our Speak&Spells to get X-rayed going through US customs causing a full bomb alert and controlled detonantion when they see all the re-wiring inside :D

Post by: Circuitbenders on June 27, 2006, 03:59:43 PM: didn't that used to say 'I find a hot mug of dark varnish just before bed gives me a nice finish'?

or did you re-consider the 'black & white minstrel show-esque' implications of that statement :D

Title: Re: Marmite or Bovril?
Post by: Circuitbenders on July 01, 2006, 06:01:40 PM: we aim to please ;D

Of course Bovril is the superior product, only the kind of people who have sugar in tea prefer Marmite, and its a well known fact that only satanists have sugar in tea.

Yes I did put one of those post things on here!! where it go? >:(

It was a bit long winded like - all about a penguin (the aquatic bird not the chocolate bar... meeting his mate the chicken, who was at the time crossing the road.

Well, they went into a bar (the kind you drink out of -not the sort that thugs stun their victims with)...

met three blokes, who were all on their way out - went past this man, who was actually in the wrong pub anyway....

well, after they'd said HI to all their friends - they went to the barman, and asked for two pints of larger...

the barman looked at the chicken and said to the penguin 'sorry we don't serve food'

this was a slightly more condensed version - but it's still not marmite related, but it is food orientated (kind of).
Title: Re: Marmite or Bovril?
Post by: Circuitbenders on July 22, 2006, 07:34:46 PM: i assumed you removed that post for its lack of marmite or bovril related goodness, nowt to do with me.

Anyway, i thought i'd push the boat out today and treat myself to some Chicken flavoured Bovril.

I've not tried it yet but i'll be sure to keep this thread updated when i do.

Any opinions on this absurd concoction?

I've never heard anything more absurd in all my life, are you some kind of freak?

What's next on the menu, fish flavoured tea?
Title: Re: Marmite or Bovril?
Post by: Circuitbenders on July 24, 2006, 04:39:27 PM: I did rather fancy some of that beef flavoured toothpaste for dogs, sounds like a taste explosion.

I think chicken Bovril may well be better than normal Bovril and i'd be willing to fight anyone who suggests otherwise ;)
Title: Re: Marmite or Bovril?
Post by: Fatdave on July 24, 2006, 05:07:08 PM: Thing is your banging on about drinking Bovril which i have to say i find a bit fucking wierd. :P
What i wanna know is what this so called Chicken Bovril is like on on a lightly toasted slice of brown Hovis?
Title: Re: Marmite or Bovril?
Post by: Circuitbenders on July 26, 2006, 02:29:05 PM: I don't think anyone mentioned drinking bovril did they?

Although i was absolutely fascinated to discover that Bovril is labelled as a 'savoury drink' and there is no mention of it being a bread coating.

On what other forum could you learn totally irrelevant facts like that?

Beef tea is tea made from beef, how else can i put it?

You take some cow, and you make tea with it, what more do you need to know?

Its hot liquid cow...........and infinately less nourishing than bovril which of course isn't liquid cow in any respect, oh no.
Title: Re: Marmite or Bovril?
