I can't help but laugh when I say the word Bloke. Bloke bloke bloke lol... I need help! Sorry Australlian folks, but that word cracks me up...
relatively the same as mate, except not necessarily your friend. A guy. I don't think the term Sheila is so prevalent now.
Yeah, some bloke means some guy. Sheila lost its use just after WW11. It became Bird in the 60's and 70's then Chic. So we could of had a Woods Bird (WoodsChic's Mother) and Wood Sheila (Woods Chic's Granny). No offence WoodsChic purley for educational purposes.
Vegemite is certainly an acquired taste if you aren't from around those parts. It's a brown paste made out of yeast extract, vegetables and salt that comes in a little jar. Done tried some. Not for me.
vegemite is alright as long as you spread it thinly just so you can ''Just'' taste it ,bit like doctor peppers in australia no one had the taste for it .tried it once in the U.S 20 years ago and threw the rest in the bin eeeeeeeeeeeeeee yook
--> Daaaaaaaaaamn...... You just jolted me back almost 30 years to when I was a teenager Thanks.........I think........... Love this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttzS1TUterk
Vegemite is great. I stick a spoon in the jar and eat it. One thing it is brilliant at is when making proper gravy a tea spoon of this gives the gravy a real lift. Think of it as a kind of vegetable stock. it is also good for you although it is a tad salty The Poms have Marmite in the UK, now that is pretty awful stuff
Bloke = good old buddy. I tried Vegemite once; a substance one must get use to. Not bad though, just very different.
If I said bloke it is purely a reference to a dude. It does not imply friendship. like that bloke over there or he's an odd bloke etc.
Vegemite, although I haven't tried it yet, sounds similar to hummus (a middle-east spreadable substance) that I thoroughly enjoy? Edit: Here's Vegemite's Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite Not even close to what I was guessing.
Vegemite is black not Brown & tastes nothing like Hummus. Its awsome, have it on toast, sangas & even put a bit in your Spaghetthi Bol
Just read the whole thread and felt I had to have my say. The term 'sheila' is alive and well. Also I tried Dr Pepper once and thought it wasn't bad at all! There is a new flavour of vegemite on the shelf beside the real vegemite. Have not tried it as I am sure it's like light beer
To me a Bloke is a guy that you don't know, to me after reading this thread it sounds like dude And as for Vegemite its a gift from the gods, if you haven't had it from the day you were born it's hard on the tongue. So if you blokes (haha) over their are going to give it a go put it on thin until you like it like me. I have bread with my V/mite Dr Pepper for me is not the best, they couldn't give away here, I've heard the government are going to use it to eradicate the rabbits plague that we have here. Mate, i'm not having a lend of ya it's deadly stuff
