That is the question.   One of them has to go but which one? I need help on this one. They both have a long history and each have benefits as well as disadvantages. How will I decide?

Keep the Marmite. Send me the banjo.

Simple, really.

a) Well nobody cries when you cut up a Marmite.

b) One burns longer.

c) Being able to throw both into a skip without touching the sides.

Tick one of the above.

If you get shot of the banjo, what are you going to put the bread on when you toast it under the grill, before you put the marmite on it ?

I quite agree, how are you on ukelelies visa vis Bovril?

There is only one thing worse than Marmite - dual Marmite (apologies to Ambrose Bierce)
FWIW I duellled Marmite for 4 years at boarding school AND went without many a pudding in the process. Now I am a man and have put away childish things like the pot of Marmite. I think I won that jewel.

How long do you shake a boil? And talking of shaky song spots.......... and if you squeeze a banjo it oozes brown I guess.

I think that if you put the marmite under the banjo, shove a fused blasting cap into the marmite....

Why is everyone so cruel to this much loved instrument - the banjo of course-
Don't you know that most of the worlds worst conflicts ( American Civil War for example) were fought over the right to make & play the banjo.
The banjo is a much maligned instrument, unlike the melodeon which is the last refuge of the musically incompetent.
As for Marmite - I hate the stuff, but it can be used as an adhesive to stick floor tiles down.

Leave of the banjo and pick on something (or someone)your own size

A difficult choice. Is one obliged to eat the banjo? If so, I guess it beats the marmite by a slim margin. If, on the other hand, one is obliged to play them, the marmite wins by a substantial margin!

Did you know that TWAWKI is threatened by an imminent attack of giant marmites?
