G'day All,

Been reading bits and bobs on the site for a while, but wanted to get involved with British Reds Bow Saw Bonanza so I had to sign up.

Im a Australian currently serving a life sentance in the most unholy of places the midlands, I'm one of those fruitloop types that sleep on top bags and bags of 20kilo bags of rice, build nuclear shelters systems for fun, and make ludlow town centre look scruffy a few times a year.

I eat vegimite on regular occurances and dont believe there is a better beer then Coopers Best Extra Stout, no wine can beat Wolf Blass Cab Sav, although British Reds fine red collection comes close. And like all good australian I have a strange hat, a stupid accent, and I am required by federal, state, and terrriorial law to watch Neighbours daily.

ho, kaj havos amuzig^i.

Ohh yeah and before British Red or Ludlow Surviors start telling you all scary stories about me, yes I own a kilt, no i don't wear tights, and yes i have had a multitude of very stupid haircuts in my time.

Im sure Red will post an offending picture at some time heres one of the back of my head, dont worry they only get stupider, like that one of me hanging upside down starkers from the iron ladies of newcastle town, but that children is another story for when im ******. :D

Hello ledamni and welcome to BcUK :) Pull up a keyboard and join the conversations.

I have to disagree though, Vegemite is vile, Marmite is Mighty! :rolleyes: :D

Cheers,
Toddy.............who doesn't have a kilt but does have an arisaid :cool:

Hi ledamni and welcome

Well, there go the property prices on the forum :D


You see mate, I told you Marmite was better - Toddy says so and no-one dares disagree with Toddy ;)

I'r rather worried though that you might begin a conversation with Capn Badger. We may well approach critical mass of downright strangeness then :)

Welcome to Bushcraft UK, good to have you :D

British Red, got a plan for keeping them apart?
Tony,

I thought we might start with some teams of Wild Horses ;)

First time I met ledamni was collecting him from the station to go to a meet

This weird dreadlocked fellow hurled his bergan in the back of my Landcruiser with the phrase

"g'day - noice ute maite" or something similarly colonial

We won't even begin on his explanations as to why vegetarians are allowed to prep and eat wood pigeons round the fire (which he promptly did :D)

I decided then that like most forces of nature, one should simply admire it (preferably from a safe distance) :D

Ledamni!

Good to see you here :D

As you can see there are many folk here who are only too willing to show you the error of your ways and introduce you to Marmite and help you kick the Vegimite habit :p

:lmao:

Sounds like a scene out of the Man from Snowy River, its a shame the fimling was so awful the stories brillant.

Stock phrase that one, all utes are beut, as the saying goes. And I don't speak colonial is mearly a higher state of enlightment from all those years of more Vit D and the bitting creatures, everythings tame after you've seen a drop bear take a grown man.

Vegan thank you very much, I dont drink milk or eat cheese, and anyway it's a rule all wood pigeons most be consumed by Vegans as they eat the bean crops same with rabbits there allowed because there a pest species, and anyway I only kill them as practice for the rabid yeti's.

I'll bring the police tape next time, with "keep well back" written on it I wonder if I could make a pair of kegs out of police tape :rolleyes:

And cheers to everyone for the welcome, no idea about the christmass meet depends the better half and whats going on, I normally crawl under a rock around now for my hibernation period bloody english weather!

Have fun all.

Hi Ledamni

Welcome, all that heat and dust will drive a man to almost anything but vegimite?
Bovril, thats what you need, known to make most things edible or even a wholesome drink.

Enjoy your stay, I believe you are eligable for repatriation after we win the next rugby world cup.

Best regards, Pothunter.

Large jar of Marmite and a spoon!


Hot, real butter-ed, toast :D

What *is* vegemite made from anyway? I like the thick Vecon stock paste stuff but was stunned at just how awful vegemite was :confused:

Cheers,
Toddy

Just love the Vegimite/Marmite preference thing. Perhaps a pole on who likes what would be interesting? I would do it but haven't a clue how its done. :lmao:

Vegemite is made from vick! Some times when the extraction system failed workers passed out from the fumes, the result was burned vick! Rather than waste this valuable but tasteless ermmm mess it was put into jars and sent to oz where it was named “vegemite” after the people who eat it

I'm tempted to post such a poll. If only to see if 400 Brits can supress one keen outdoorsy Aussie (sadly I think we will lose having met him)
