You say tomato

What a wonderful sentence:

"[The Supreme Court of the US] acknowledged the botanical reality of their fruithood, but ruled that in common understanding and usage, they are treated as vegetables and should be taxed as such."

(From an article about tomatoes, as read out by my boss this morning.)

In other news, I have betrayed the Marmite. I just had lemon curd on my toast.

Just don't admit that last bit on we_love_marmite. They'd flay you alive.

I'm curious about that community, now. But I don't want to go and look in case I'm wrong.

Y'see, it might just be a fairly dull place which some people who liked marmite set up, and in which marmite occasionally gets discussed.

On the other hand, it might be like the old Blyth Power mailing list - which was a cuddly, friendly group who very occasionally got round to talking about the band, but mostly kept to the important things in life like tea and cake and cricket and the shipping forecast.

I'd be hoping that we_love_marmite would be the latter, but fearing it'd be the former.

Do you know where I might be able to get Blyth Power records?

Well, here looks likea good bet:

You don't seem 'em around much in record shops, sadly.

Unless by "records" you mean "groovy black pastic things with a hole in the middle", rather than "albums", in which case I have no idea.

On the other hand it might be used to discuss Marmite cooking, Marmite parties, Marmite hunting, Marmitey relationship struggles ("My boyfriend doesn't like Marmite -- please help"), whether or not Marmite-flavour crisps taste anything like Marmite, and the indescribable fate of the Bomb Bomb Loopapa tribe and the huge amount of Marmite that must have been involved in such a cataclysm.
