You forgot to mention that yeast extract is a waste product from making beer so people who like beer tend to like Vegemite as well.

Hmmmm....so you do have pork rinds.
I'll bet you like to eat bacon bits straight from the container too.
And pringles....mmmmm....pringles.
In Hydey's defense, my diet used to consist of a large sleeve of Pringles and a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. That was a meal for me.

Yeah we noticed

But Hydey has redeemed himself in so many ways in the last few days

a. He went to the dinner at quite a lot of personal inconvenience - drove 2000 kilometres and brought the charming Mrs Hydey along. Bravo!

b. He attacked Makeo. Get into him son!

c. He showed that the reason he turned up finbar's fine food is he eats a simple healthy diet. Nothing wrong with that.

d. Er,............it'll come to me............

But to go all that way just to sneer at Finbar running around in his apron...seems like a small price to pay.

I was going to say - the screen went totally black as soon as you turned away from the camera. I thought, at first, that my software had failed. Then I realised the black screen had a sort of shiny cottony hue to it.

Horse has pictures from last Saturday night. Unfortunately, most of them appear to have been rendered useless by a plague of "camera flash red-eye".

I've still got the pics from last year's bash in the camera. In fact, I finished the roll just the other day. I should get them developed and do some posting.

quote: I could set my watch to you! (Yeah, yeah....mixed metaphor).

That's not a mixed metaphor. A mixed metaphor occurs when you combine two - or more - figurative expressions overlooking each expression's original context.

For example: "The mountain of paperwork winged its way to his door". A "mountain of paperwork" is a reasonable metaphor. As is something "winging its way" somewhere. Combined, it's nonsense. A mountain can't wing its way anywhere.
