I was given a whole box of "out of date" marmite crisps by the chap that runs the English import company next to our ice cream facility. Not worth the wholesale price to me normally, but as a freebee they were yum!

I looked it up...he's thrown it out to a couple of us now (and had no reaction one might suppose)? I am a fantabulosly endowed (mentally that is) middle aged housewife with corporate experience...?

Giggity? Quite possibly, on occasion? But why?

It was a 'Phwoar' type of reaction to your "salty gentleman's relish" comment that suggested a different substance produced by male excitement. :eek:

Favourite breakfast of the boss. ;)

I didn't think it worth its own thread, couldn't find another one to piggy back on, Marmite attracts views so it will be seen and, finally, Springsteen is probably one of those love or hate people, much like Marmite.

Perfect logic. :rofl:

Fair enough.

I haven't been able to listen to his studio stuff since I saw him at Wembley in the mid-80s.

I like his ballads, Downbound Train, the whole Nebraska album, Candy's Room, Racing in the Streets. He's not very good at the up tempo stuff though, it just sounds muddled. The Sirius all Springsteen channel is as unlistenable as the Pearl Jam one.

My super large jar of marmite is coming to the end of its natural life and I'm wondering what might fill the void. The little jars just don't do it for me.

Isn't it obvious? Scoop from the littles into the big.

Oh crap - when I am allowed by Snoop to drive the posh car rather than the tank, the former has Sirius, the latter my IPod Classic loaded up with all sorts of goodies ( but that's for another day) and I quite like E Street radio- well the live stuff anyhow. A guilty pleasure?:( Ok my name is Stinkypup and I like Springsteen and love Marmite.... There... I did it!:cool:

If it's confession time, my favourite Sirius show is Apron Strings. I also listen to TFE with Big D on the OC and, to the horror of any passengers, BPM. And the bluegrass channel. I can't do the First Wave channel anymore though, that man must have been playing the same ten records since 1976.

I really don't like them...I'm not weak and feeble but you have to be bloody Popeye to squeeze the thing:blink:

I haven't had that experience. When the bottle is new it flows out easily. UK bottles that is.

The squeezies are tricky to finish off as marmite isn't a naturally flowing substance. I convert them to jar usage for the last 25% or so. Have to get every last scraping out!

My granddad used to say that Mr. Coleman really got rich from the mustard you could't get out of the the jar. But then he worked in a lead factory and used to sit in the corner of the living room dribbling and saying a lot of weird things.

And that was the first reported time that the term "Normal for Norfolk " was used - clearly then this was not just a result of inbreeding although a lot of the problems clearly also stem from bunking down with too close a family member:cool:
