    You should stick little moustaches on them, proper 70s porn stars those ones. Would love to get hold of the first and second one, the last one is much too shaft for my liking though.

    Hey Al... Thats the "Marmite" factor right there. I dont think there is a grey area with this decade.

    Yes I fully understand the reference mate - my wife is a recovering Australian and she eats Vegemite...and yes I have tried it several times.

    I've never had Marmite but I understand it is pretty much the same level of disgusting as the Aussie version is.

    I would usually wait until I actually got it, but while we are on the subject, I'm very excited about this incoming... Ordered from Zaf Basha yesterday... (After I saw the Fratello article about them the other day!)

    Ha yes, undoubtedly ! You would hope I'll be able to find one in my 'spares' but there's always a good excuse for another !
