I apologise for the Aussie foods derail that involved no pictures, but I now have 7 people who want awful Aussie food packs. Having sanity-checked the supplied addresses, one of you lives on an island that looks like a place that don't take kindly to strangers. Well, like that but in a cold European way. Like everyone is related to the same fish or something.
Anyway, once I get back from the shops and post office today I'll let you know its on the way.

Please don't do what my australian friend who mailed me timtams did - vegemite is NOT meant to be eaten by the spoonful right out of the jar. I've never experienced anything more disgusting and I went from love after eating the tim tam to pure hate after my heaping spoonful of moldy rear end you people like you put on toast.

It's fine to eat by the spoonful once you realise what you're eating. I even make a hot tea with it during winter when I want something hot and savoury to drink but don't feel like caffeine.

The Russians didn't so much send a dog into orbit than they put a dog in a metal coffin and launched it into space

There's a quote from the forums that busts me up which describes it, probably from FYAD or BYOB?

N.B. the soviets apparently attached a bag to the dogs rear end to collect the poo poo, so at least part of this post is wrong

If you want it to be in some way a funny picture, you can imagine my surprise at the postage charges. :v:

The offer window is now closed. I grew tired of filling in all those international post declarations. I didn't spring for tracking or anything clever like that, but you should get them within 6 or 7 days. If I responded to your email or PM saying you'll get it then you'll get it. Unless the mail system steals it, of course.

Didn't the Russians supposedly kill a lot of people during secret space launches, and they never owned up to it? I remember reading about some radio operators who picked up broadcasts of dying russians in space or something, some burning up on reentry, others flung out into space.

Wasn't there even a rumor they lost a few before Gagarin successfully came back, and he become the official "first" man in space?

That was a hoax

The Russians undoubtedly lost a lot of people in their space launches, but I'd bet real money most of those losses were ground crew.

Vegemite was too easy. My package included Vegemite Cheesybite, which sounded really bad. The lucky recipients also got those musk lifesavers and Pascall Pineapple Lumps, which are top-tier.

It really is. Cheese and vegemite sandwiches are top tier lunch material so they thought they'd combine the two into a spread to try sell more. The amount of vegemite and cheese required for this is very personal and spreadable cheese is a joke. So they took a classic and ruined it because some exec had a brainfart about how to sell more stuff. It was originally called "iSnack 2.0" too which just made it more of a joke than it already was.

They did get a lot of publicity out of it though and any publicity is good publicity right.
