I remember hearing an urban legend that Vegemite was originally invented by a brewer using leftover yeast. If that's in any way true, using Vegemite to make beer is like a GAF->Internet->GAF cycle.

Yeah, it's clicking with me as a relaxing way to while away the hours. I'll probably only get to play for another a week or so before I go away for a fortnight and I'll have Deus Ex when I get back. In the meantime, this is just what I need.
It's a bit repetitive but it's perfect when you have some show you blasting through a TV show you want to see but not enough to watch it normally. My playlist is the most recent seasons of Halt and Catch Fire and Gotham.
not too bad today, but I can definitely feel the bit where I sit on the saddle. STill trying to work out the gears but thankfully there's less traffic around ATM since so many people are off on summer holiday. Lots of bike lanes between work and home helps.
tl;dr my anus!

I'll try it.... Once.

I love vegemite (not so much as a drink) but I really, really wouldn't recommend trying it as an adult. It truly is an acquired taste. It's best used spread on a sandwich or on toast (best with butter only though some like vegemite and cheese).
it's very salty and bitter. If you know of a deli or a supermarket where you are that has lots of foreign foods, you might find a small jar of it to try (or marmite, which is relatively close but far more available in Europe).
this is an excellent primer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezh7KjVMf0M
Go to a hardware store on a weekend and enjoy the sausage sizzle

Hmm okay. Thought it should be good to try if you do so like you said. A small amount spread on toast and with butter. I guess that most people (tourists) do it wrong and spread it as if it's peanutbutter.
Haha, well I will keep that in mind then.

Can confirm a bit of Vegemite with poached eggs on toast and some spring onion plus a shave of cheese is a good thing.

vegemite with anything, on anything, in any amount is awful
Shouldn't you be banned from the thread?

Toasted crumpet with vegemite and melted cheese is a damn delicious snack
Your run of awful opinions continues =P
Do you really want to make new people feel uncomfortable again Jambo.
The elevator ads at work are really selling me on Tasmania, it looks so adventurous.

You're making me feel uncomfortable with that capital j...
Mutes, ban this filth.
The fact that cheese and bacon shapes still taste like filth proves my point!
What?

Yeah I just enabled it on mine too.
At least this will stop all of the poor saps who are reusing user/pass combos that have already been compromised (via breaches at other sites) from making threads about it on GAF when their PSN accounts get hijacked, and blaming Sony.

The basic rule of thumb is if you are replacing an existing product, the new version has to be better. I have yet to meet a single person who thinks new Shapes are better than the old style, so that makes them a failure.

So mean.I don't like the new shapes flavourings speckles FOR THE RECORD

No this post proves you are in fact Australian mate
#GoodParenting. Conversely my older brother is a freak that waits for the toast to cool before applying the marg/butter so it does NOT melt. I used to love my brother.
My girlfriend waits for the toast to cool before buttering it. For everything. Almost broke up with her when I found that out.

Was this ever a thing in Australia?
Those were not so bad. The only problem with the brand is, is that it's always half full.

if the toast pops and you don't get to buttering it in time, you can always just pop it in for another few seconds to get a bit of heat on it so you can butter properly.
