A bit about me then:

Location - Christchurch, NZ.
working career: Electronics Engineering - 15yrs RNZAF, 6 yrs in Test/Manufacturing and 6.5 yrs network products R&D.
You can find out a teensy bit more about me/what I've done at these sites:

and my current main interest outside of work and family: https://aotearoakendo.150m.com/

we have a saying in our family "it's illegal, it's immoral, and it makes you fat!" - usually used in relation to eating chocolate or other yummy things (like Marmite
), so I take your assertion to mean it's completely OK! 
And as to your 3rd point - anything is possible in HoPper-land!

That's really interesting physics Dr Mike, because your nutella bomb would be like a point source and yet it was able to cover ALL the walls (and my ones are a arranged in a pentagram kinda shape) AND the parts of the walls at the corner intersections with exactly the same thickness??? Did you see the Mythbusters trying to do explosive painting a-la Mr Bean??? THEIR physics say it can't be done.
/end
Now ignoring the physics - that was a pretty dirty rotten trick
I'm going to have to cogitate a while on the perfect revenge... Expect it when you least it expect you mad nutella fiend you!

Hey George
So, in a marmite discussion with spitfire last night (yes I've turned my girlfriend into a marmite fan), she asked if I'd told you about dippy eggs and marmite soldiers.
You familiar?
I think it's my favourite marmite dish.

you hadn't told me but I is understanding about dippy eggs and marmite soldiers of course! (Well I know about what we call marmite soldiers and dippy eggs - presumably they're the same! strips of toast to dunk in soft boiled eggs right?)
Other than the simple uncorrupted taste of marmite on hot buttered scones, I think my next fave would be mousetraps - marmite on (mousetrap shaped/sized) bread/toast with bits of bacon & cheese lightly grilled.
Marmite and lettuce sandwiches is an other one - sounds much weirder than it tastes.
Yay for converting Sipifire!!! Your kharma points total inceases by 1000 for that
