Default 10 Things I'm indifferent about in Oz

Well, we've had the hate and like lists so in order to take the middle ground, here's a list of things I am completely indifferent about:

1. Whether OMO is better in tablets or powder

2. Vegemite

3. The Ford/Holden debate

4. Lawrence Springborg

5. Train services

6. Shane Warne

7. Delta Goodrem

8. Availability of "British" produce

9. Quorn

10. "My Restaurant Rules"

Anymore lists of things you simply don't have an opinion about?

Well, probably. The trouble is if I have no opinion then I probably do not know or care about them, so cannot list them. Much easier to respond to a list and tell you if I have an opinion. From your list I have no opinion on:
1,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9.
I have no idea what number 10 is, so probably have no opinion on that either.
Vegemite - I will happily discuss

Clearly my list was well constructed! Number 10 is some new reality show about runnng restaurants which I have neither seen nor want to, I just don't care.

My indifference to Vegemite (and indeed Marmite) is such that I have no interest in your opinion.

Regards

If you are indifferent about it, how come you get up me when I buy the expensive stuff?
