I've had Marmite and Vegemite in my Amazon wishlist for a few weeks now but been reluctant to pull the trigger. I really should man up soon. We could do a comparison test between them for the Beer&Pretzels forum.

HA Oprah will probably live to be 200. I did read a report that Levon Helm (guitarist) died today but not sure if he ranks.

^Saw that too, that makes four this week. So no one else die, please.

I read that helm was touring until just a few months ago when his illness became mroe debilitating.
