go.ogle

remember to bungle up go.ogle to get goo.gle thru the censorship quicker.... ;P
Or simply say "youtube" as long as that doesn't get a clamp-down.
And there we have it: Eat lots of vegemite and our kids and we will be healthy from B1/thiamine... yeay!

Now looking behind that slogan, vegemite has more B1, B2, B3 and B9 than marmite, but marmite has B12 in it, which the original vegemite doesn't, but the reduced salt version does - that sounds enticing.

For my necessary over-dosing, I'd need one glass a day for B3, 8.5 glasses for B2. That's now after being able to halve the dose.... (and I'd need better quality and different types...).

Youse all on about Vegemite and all I got got going though my head is
I come from a land down under

My wife just made me feel "sick" from listing me loads of things which are supposed to wake my appetite.
But one of the positives was marmite - she said order it, I said no, I want vegemite from our Aussie shop.
(She said: online, I said: no it's 10 minutes from here, she: since when? me: for at least 20 years... - really weird, no one knows it, I only got to know it via a befriended radio guy who interviewed unusual people.)

I hope you get that marmite.

marmite

Vegemite! Easier to get vegemite in my town than UK marmite! But then I'll be able to compare first hand, cos I know UK marmite. I once got an African shop to order UK marmite, but it took 3 months & was costly.

where woman grow and men chunder

That’s how my kids sung that line of the song.

Well now you've got me come down that rabbit hole straight thru the centre of the earth to you...!

Actually your kids are pretty spot on. Mostly they sing "where women glow and men plunder", 2nd time
"where beer does flow and men chunder". To "chunder" means to vomit." (wikipedia). So there!
The singer Colin Hay compares his lyrics to the social criticism of Born in the USA ("plunder"), "just" he's added his humour.

Not so important that 'Kombi' is German (a VW van), muesli too.
Much more important that I'd always realized them saying "vegemite sandwich" in it, but never how important it would become in my life . "Do you speak-a my language? He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich".
In the video the Vegemite sandwich is a whole loaf thrown (flown?), the Vegemite glasses are in the cupboard,
after beer has flown (and no one chundered).
Before that the flautist Greg Ham is sitting in a gum tree playing his riff with a koala toy hanging from a string.
But a real godsend for me is songfact's pointer to the 2021 drum'n'bass version by Luude (also Australian).
Even people who don't love drum'n'bass like I do should love that version, because the beat is moderate, that flute riff sparkles differently by bringing it up an octave, I think a piccolo flute (not sure if a real one) - played more perkily? Funny, so many songs I'd think of as flute songs, this one I never ever did. (The Luude video has a burning flute in it, nothing else worth watching.) And Colin Hay decided he'd re-do the vocals himself, so that makes it very familiar too.
The flute riff unintentionally echoed 2 bars of "Kookaburra sits in an old gum tree", assumed by most to be public domain, sadly leading to a law suit that may have had a bad effect on the flautist, who died a year later.
A slower "original version 1980" is an interesting listen.

good on you mate well I'll throw a shrimp on the barbie for you

well actually we don't; throw shrimps on the barbie - they would fall thro the grating - we throw prawns instead

I would not suggest you poke your head up thro a rabbit hole down here you could get run over hit by a slasher , shot with a shot gun or blown up with a cow pat and diesel

In the quest for something maybe tasty and throwing "all" ideals overboard I got a tin of tuna.
I guess a tuna wouldn't fall thru the grating either..

Ah, true, I remember: importing rabbits to get rid of other pesky stuff kinda went a tiny little bit wrong...

So I carefully & quickly poked my head out of the just-pretend-hole just now, in our Aussie shop run by Germans,
but got sold Tim Tams by (their) mistake. I'd paid and was wondering where my vegemite was, which we'd been talking about all along. Turned out they can't get any at the moment and he'd somehow swapped it in his brain....
Definitely not the same, or rather: boring chocolate biscuits, much too sweet, neither me nor my wife like 'em.
But at least I've bought something there... Praps kids / grandkids...

12 rabbits where imported back in the 1800 for the rich people to shoot - all rabbits in Australia are related to these 12 except the rabbits in the Sydney basin and the rabbits on the west coast. We now have 200 million at last count .

The one you got mixed up with was the importing of cane toads to kill off the cane beetle of which we have well over 200 million and increasing this was an experiment that terribly wrong

Yeh and I recon them thar rabbits are from my yard. They’re everywhere here.

Thanks for correcting! This is school knowledge from the 70s , never corrected, and I can of course imagine remembering wrong, but never heard of cane toads, and knowing school knowledge they may have been teaching wrong...
One of my favourite bits of wrong school knowledge is Europeans in the Middle Ages believing the world was flat.

 

[johnsalmon]

his is school knowledge from the 70s

you list your country as GE I am surprised that kids in school in Georgia would be taught anything about Australia
