Hot rumour around that the legend has taken up printed space in the Canberra times for this weekend..

Why not publish it here for a quick critique...

Might just be for his 'Let's buy back Vegemite' crusade. I think that is his latest scheme.

I hope he doesn't buy Vegemite. I like Vegemite but won't buy it if he owns it! :yuk:

I don't think I could do without my vegemite, I'd buy it in a plain brown wrapper.

Would prefer it owned by an Australian, just another Australian PLEASE:sad:

Prefer Promite myself. But seriously folks......
Well if DS wants to try to bring Vegemite back to Australian ownership then good luck to him. At least that will occupy his time for a while and he will (hopefully) leave aviation alone for a while.

You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

OH DEAR ME CAPITAN CLARET

I'm sure Dick will be MOST upset if you don't buy your 6 monthly jar of vegemite..........!

Having had a good go at helping to reform Australia's outdated airspace system he can now try and save some of our industry icons from being gobbled up by overseas interests.

Wow. Maybe Dick is going to re-invent Vegemite, based on a US product, but not quite the same.:E

If Dick buys back vegemite, it wont be Australian owned, just owned by a different yank (I did say yank, but insert your own rhyming slang here), well a wannabee anyway....

Cheers, HH.

[QUOTE]"We've been working on our own version of Vegemite, called Ozemite, for the past three years," Mr Smith said.

"It's almost identical but we'd rather have the true-blue Vegemite brand instead." [QUOTE]

Hmmmm, sounds familiar. :E

Feather #3,

I imagine it would go something like this:

"Vegemite (VAS) will produce better health outcomes for the culinery public in this country. It will allow for a more relevant concentration of finite health & safety resources in areas of greatest dietry risk. I remain absolutely consistent in my belief that moving to VAS is in the interests of the travelling public of Australia"....

I can’t wait for the Vegemite conference in Bondi or wherever it was!

Oh, and dont forget this:

Love me vegemite, and I would really prefer an aussie to own it even if it is Dick. ( I know, I've said this in a public forum, but hey, I'm a big guy).
