Step 1:  Jump out of Airplane
Step 2:  Go get parachute from airplane and put it on
Step 3:  Oh wait a sec . . .

Given what the City is asking for it's more

Step 2:  Start reading this ancient grimoire of spells that allegedly will teach you how to fly.

I was reading the latest news out of Hungary and was wondering:

Is there a mechanism in place to revoke a country's adherence to the EU?

Perhaps we could annex Hungary when we leave. That way Tamas doesn't even have to leave the UK.

BTW I should really try Marmite it must be great.

First when it temporarily became unavailable in Tesco stores, it was the main news on the BBC morning show. Then some other chain raised the price 12% and once again, it was featured on the main page of BBC.com  :lol:

Apparently marmite is a love or hate thing, with nothing in between. Which is why it has become synonymous with things people either love or hate.

As has been noted, opinions differ.

I can eat it - but only if I've got nothing else in the house to go on bread and the weather's particularly unpleasant.

Tamas will combine his beets with Marmite.

You need to be taught to try it right. Just a tiny, tiny amount - less than half a teaspoon - on well-buttered white toast.

Ed Anger

Tamas only eats beets and in a pinch, turnips.

Have you ever cooked a Pork Roast? It taste likes the left over fat & juices in the pan cold.

You have to spread it really thin, at least at first.

In my household we are split 50/50, eldest son and me don't like it, wife and youngest son love it.

As a basic idea, maybe - but Marmite's taste is much more "concentrated" than that.

That's more like Bovril which is (once again, post BSE crisis) meat based. Marmite is made from yeast and is pure umami flavour.
