red750 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I came across a group on Facebook called "Dull Men's Club", where members discuss the most mundane topics. There were a couple of discussions on the correct way to eat Vegemite (by the way, there are members of the group from all around the world). There were comparisons of Vegemite and Marmite. Other topics include such things as the correct way to store a folding ironing board. I joined the group (Nev will be pleased), and posted a photo of how I spread my Vegemite. This was two days ago. So far, I have received 1,200 reactions. Other off the wall rules require you to state your shoe size in your posts, and if posting a photo, include a banana for size comparison. Of course, not everyone does, many don't have a banana handy when taking the photo, but here is an example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Do the dull men have to be verified by their wives or is your word just taken for it. If you have to think about this for more than 5 seconds you qualify It would want to be a very large building. . . Nev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 In my case they have to take my word for it, I don't have anyone to verify it for me. Although, if she were still alive, my wife probably would have. Since discrimination is now illegal, women can now become members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Here is the photo. I wrote that you don't plaster it on like peanut butter, which Yanksusually do, then say it's disgusting. I got lots of criticism for using vegetable oil spread and not butter, (replaced margarine), and that it wasn't melted into the toast. Someone else posted the scale below, and many like No. 5 or 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacesailor Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 you will run out of Vegemite. To soon . Then you can try the milder " Marmite " . spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I can't recall the last time I ate any Vegemite. I have a square crumpet with butter and a cup of tea for brekky, it hits the spot for me. Now can we start arguing about how a properly-toasted crumpet should look? (Hint - I do mine under the griller, toasters are a dead loss for an all-over even cook.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadpete Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I dunno, but maybe Onetrack is just desperately trying to avoid cleaning out 25 years of accumulated valuables in a shed.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Oh no, the shed cleanout is continuing at full speed, and is in line with the schedule. A mate is rolling up from down South on Tuesday to give me 2 weeks of his time, to help speed things up. I've got a pile of stuff going to auctions.

onetrack Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) No, I've got lots of good useful items such as new filters, new car parts, 4WD and truck tyres, 4WD and truck rims, earthmover parts, several big workshop air compressors (the air tank on one is about 1500 litres and it weights about 900kgs). I've even got a port-a-loo! (an older all-steel one in good order). It'll bring about $650, I bought 2 at auction for $120, and the other, newer one, is doing duty at my block in the country. My 5 tonne Isuzu truck is going to get a workout. I've got several forklifts in various stages of repair, to move. I've got a 10 tonne Chamberlain 4WD front end loader and a full 20 foot sea container to move as well, but I'll have to employ a tilt tray for them. During the week, I sold a pallet of new ceramic soap dishes to a bloke who sells remnant tiles. There were 133 soap dishes on the pallet. I got $280 for them. He sells them for something like $25 each! Good luck to him. I bought 7 pallets of new surplus tiles (including the soap dishes) for $10 about 15 years ago. I sold a lot off over the years, and made a fair amount of money out of them. Sold them on Gumtree and even on eBay. You ought to see what the blokes in the other factory units have to move! They're all "junk" collectors, too - Dave, opposite my shop has about 50 or 60 cars, from Minis to Beemers to HDT Commodores, and even a '68 Chev Impala. Greg, next to him specialises in Holdens and Geminis. His sons race Geminis, so they've got a "collection" of Geminis that supply parts. He's currently restoring an FJ Holden that his ex-wife bought for him for his 30th birthday - he's 74! But the FJ is barely a quarter done, it's in a rotisserie and Gregs trying to get the body straight and all the rust taken out of it with new insert panels. The car has been written off THREE times in smashes!! Edited March 31 by onetrack 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 I think I'll have to pull out of the Dull Men's group, obviously I'm not dull enough. Admin/Mods had denied or deleted at least nine of my posts. Too bad - their loss. I only got a reason for two. One was just a photo - rule: minimum 10 words in a post. Another was the MAGA hat posted here recently. Reason: No political content. How dull. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
