Honestly, the Marmite was bad enough

[slipjig3]

Lest you think I'm the only resident of this apartment who lacks a self-preservation instinct:

Me: [reading] Remind me, what's a Bovril sandwich?
rafaela: That's a sandwich made with Bovril.
Me: [long pause] Okay, let's try this again: what's Bovril?
rafaela: [shrugs] I dunno.

Suffice it to say that punishments commenced, largely noogie-based. And yes, we have reminded ourselves what exactly Bovril is, and um...England, I'm sorry to inform you of this, but we are not impressed. (Then again, I live in the country that gave the world the Twinkie, so I can't exactly take the moral high ground here.)
