How's the carpet? Hmmm... that might qualify as child abuse in some countries... ;-) Victor, who knows lots of people love vegemite but still can't understand why The trick with vegemite is not to slap it on like you would jelly or peanut butter. A *scraping* is all that is required, at least until you can eat it straight out the jar :-) I played a game of Vegemite Poker once with my Aussie ex and his brothers. The loser of each hand had to eat a tablespoonful of Vegemite. I provided them with lots of amusement. :P Yeah, that sound slike a very Aussie thing to do :-) Yowie |

TimTam Slam: Nibble off one set of hte diagonally opposite corners. Insert one corner into Kahlua, Tia Maria, Bailey's or other sweet liquer that would go with chocolate. Suck the other corner of the timtam as hard as you can. Once you can taste the liquer, the timtamslam is ready to eat :-) Overseas Aussies pine for vegemite, timtams, cherry ripes, violet crumbles, twisties and real beer :-) Yowie Or a timtam smoothie - tip the contents of one packet of timtams into a blender, add vanilla icecream and blend. Add enough milk to make a smooth-ish texture. A decadent and impossibly rich thing to do. Another alternate tim tam slam - hot coffee or chocolate.. but you gotta suck it really quickly and then pop the whole thing into your mouth for a warm gooey mouthful of chocolate and biscuit! Gotta be fast or it all falls apart! Yummm Kathryn |

Well my local supermarket sells TimTams, Vegemite and something that masquerades as beer that's from Down Under ;-) And if any Aussie or Kiwi feels homesick, all they've got to do is go to any bar in London and they'll find it staffed by Aussies & Kiwis working over here for a while ;-) Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune **$om $ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- |

Still, it means taking heat for someone else's mistake. I don't think I'd
enjoy that job at all. Well, you do what you can to pay the bills, and keep the lights on for the kits. -- Christopher A.

Sounds like you take all the heat for everyone else in th e company who is making life miserable for the customer. Not quite. We all take the heat from the customers for errors done internally, in a part of the bank we have nothing to do with. Blessed be, Baha |

It's pretty cold running that wet saw outside in 35 degree temperatures, but it's very gratifying work at the end.

I can get into sports wear and stretchy shirts, etc., but it's when it's a dressy button up shirt where the problems come in. Gaping buttons and all that.

Me, I think I was 130 when I was 12 ... and that was probably the last time =) 140 would be a good, muscular weight for me, but I seem to have trouble getting there. (TMI warning) I just switched from Depo to the pill, though, and my doctor thinks I'll lose 5-10 pounds just from that. -- monique, roommate of Oscar the (female) grouch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eros was adopted!
