Hi.

Thanks, that's one great tune.

There's several other reminders of the fact that I'm getting old on the right side "related" box too.

Good times.

Regards
Sam

Hi.

^Saw that, but I was way too scared to click . If that's what I think it is (won't click no matter what) the little people on that vid used to annoy the crap out of me.

My God those videos bring up memories.

Regards
Sam

The Men at Work - Business as Usual album was one of the first I ever bought and I still listen to it. It's a really good pop album with a lot of fun tunes on it.

I enjoy playing the bassline to Land Down Under. It's kind of hypnotic. Go ahead - give it a try!

Vegemite is good if you like salty stuff.

Wow, all these years, I was wrong about some of the lyrics in that song. Great song, great band. For that one album, anyway.

I've never tried it. Can you even get it in the states? I love salty good so I'm going to look for it anyway.

It's available from some specialty places and mail-orders, like the Vermont Country Store (or they used to have it. I checked on their website just now and they don't). there was a grocery store here that had it once, but I never tried it.

It's available under the brand names Marmite and Vegemite. They are BOTH MADE OF YEAST.

We have a store here called Jungle Jims that carries all sorts of stuff from other countries. It's the coolest grocery I've ever seen. Six acres of fun.

Incorrect. Marmite is the one true spread for men of distinction.

Yeah, you'll need to take that back. Equating the two is a crime in Australia eclipsed only by punching a kangaroo or insulting the acting of Paul Hogan.

Vegemite and Marmite taste pretty much the same, but Vegemite's a bit of a thicker consistency.

I've seen Marmite for sale at Whole Foods over here, and if you've got a British/Irish shop anywhere nearby, they'll nearly always have it.

In Britain, opinion is strongly divided over Marmite - you either love it or hate it. But I've never met an Australian who didn't love Vegemite.
