The Person Below Me...

[Fliegenmong]

A few years ago...maybe...not now

TPBM would rather be in Venezuela than listen to a Vuvuzela

[Hydromet]

Although Venezuela's not high on my must-see list, it's certainly way ahead of listening to a vuvuzela.

TPBM considers noise to be one of the most irritating pollutants.

[Fliegenmong]

Oh yes indeed!!

But also visual poutants of advertising on the sides of light rail and Highway billboards!

[Slasher]

What the heck is a poutant?

TPBM hates poutants and regards them as real pests.

[603DX]

Yes, those pesky keyboard elves that sneakily remove the double-ell from "pollutants" are definitely i--itating ...

TPBM likes to leave the tastiest portions of a mixed plateful until last, as a reward for forbearance

[Hydromet]

No, I prefer a bit of a mixture on each fork full - try to make the tastiest bits last though.

TPBM likes tangy flavours more than bland ones.

[Slasher]

True. Covers up me foul moonshine-ridden breaf.

TPBM has a jar of Tang in the kitchen.

[Woody]

True. Covers up me foul moonshine-ridden breaf.

TPBM has a jar of Tang in the kitchen.

Is that some weird Oz thing, like Vegemite

Looked up Tang on Giggle; apparently it is orange flavoured drink powder.

No I don't possess any and never will.

TPBM doesn't understand why people want to drink fizzy drinks that have so many colourants that they probably make you glow in the dark!

[603DX]

Agreed, and the moonwalker Buzz Aldrin didn't like Tang either, despite being provided by NASA ...

TPBM pretends not to like Camp coffee, but sometimes has some in the cupboard "for cake flavouring" ...

[Slasher]

Don't keep Camp coffee and had to look up what It was. Hmm... not really my cup of tea.

Had a cold glass of Tang once. Hated it.

TPBM prefers Vegemite on at least one piece of toast for brekky.

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

No, I can't stand Vegemite.

TPBM loves Marmite though.

[603DX]

Oh yes indeed! A soft fluffy warm Warburtons crumpet, spread first with rich yellow Guernsey butter well soaked into the little holes, then thinly smeared with 100% British Marmite - food of the gods!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite

TPBM relies on regular health checks by a GP, to monitor the possibly bad effects of the butter mentioned above ...

[Hydromet]

True. So far, so good.

TPBM plans on living for their whole life.

[Slasher]

Yep and not a second earlier.

What in blue blazes is Marmite? Sounds like a cheap Brit copy of the more superiorer Vegemite - the breakfast of champions!

TPBM hates going to see the quack whether sick or not.

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

Marmite was invented in 1902; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite
Vegemite hails from 1923; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite



As regards going to see doctors; only if they are good looking

TPBM likes smoked salmon sandwiches.

[Slasher]

They're ok when they're served up. Prefer sun dried tomato risotto meself.





TPBM can't get over how much others here hate Vegemite!

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

No not at all; we were all brought up on Marmite.

TPMB finds it difficult to post in the dark

[Slasher]

It's nothin' at all. Before you leave take a small torch, walk to the mailbox and plonk your letter in. Voila! Just make sure it's in the right slot - international or domestical. That's where the torch is handy. A hurri lamp will work just as well.

TPBM remembers when logging in meant you wrote your signature on the crew sheet.

[4mastacker]

"Logging" meant something different after a couple of weeks living on compo rations.

TPBM will not admit that their real name is Elnur Bracegirdle*.
