New series, BBC 2 9o/c with the marmite professor Brian Cox. 5 episodes, might be interesting.

Without googling, cause thats not fun, what is a marmite?

[DaveS]

Marmite is a yeast extract popular (Or not) in the UK, traditionally a by-product of the brewing industry.

There is very little that polarises opinion (At least that we can discuss) quite so much, people either love it or loathe it. Possibly genetic.

Looks like a repeat of the Solar System stuff with added CGI

Marmite

I was just about to ask if putting marmite in same sentence with  Brian Cox has anything to do with slogan of that old commercial - "You either love it or hate it".

One thing is sure, in reference to marmite, I'm in later camp.

I thought Marmite came from scaping out the contents of old engine oil pans. 😺

Which brings up the subject of Vegemite vs Marmite. Which is better / worse?

Mmmm.... engine oil... 😃

Delicious!   Engine oil, that is 😁

My dad used to love Marmite on toast. He was bannished to the dining room to eat it on his own though as no one else could stand the smell. 🙂

Marmite is the food of the gods, while the other which I will not dignify by naming is the misbegotten concoction of the devil.

[Seanelly]

Anything with mites in it I will avoid.

Not your engine oil pans, I hope, else I'll never buy a used car from you!

[DaveS]

Is this the fastest thread drift on record? 😆

[Seanelly]

I like a speeding bandwagon.
