I don't have Vegemite in the house, can't stand the smell of the
stuff!! LOL



Does this mean you'd fail the Australian citizenship test then?

I reckon the only ones who should fail the citizens ship tests are the
idiots who devised them.
There is more to being a good citizen then passing a history test.

Pretty stupid!! Crickets are those little insects that hop inside and
make a squeaking noise at night! LOL

Because I'm not a fan of cricket/football/tennis/golf/etc etc I would
have replied....motorsport!! LOL What else is there?? ;-))

lol. Back in high school, it was soccer and softball and we would have
been considered a totally aussie high school. Almost nil low OS born
kids, and very few os born parents.

The reason was simple; that was where the majority of kids ended up
because they didn't get selected for the competitive teams.
