Opened my new flask full of Bovril Monday morning and it sprayed molten beef in my face,I spent the rest of the day smelling like a cows anus!

This is the most Alan Partridge sentence i've ever read

CAFC, cold evening, bovril, 3 points! Can’t beat it!

Always doubt the integrity of any alleged food or drink ending in a "Y"...🙄

I'm a fan, its something that football catering stalls can't really fuck up even if they do charge their captive market through the nose for it.

I have a big catering tub of it in the yard at work, got it for a steal in the summer for about 3 quid and all the others were taking the piss. Over the last few weeks every one of them except the weird pale ginger has dug in. It says on the side of the pack "one pack can generate £100 turnover" selling at £1.20 a cup with 90 servings in the tub. So bought a small business venture as well as a beautiful meaty hot beverage to enjoy 90 times

A break from work
A welcome sight
Hot beefy Bovril sets you right
Perks you up
Warms right through
Helps you through the day

(or quite similar). Anyone else remember this? Probably from about 1980

I dread to think what modern day ‘street ‘version some marketing agency would chuck out today to attract a younger drinker

Life is dark, packin no doe
This ain’t no drill, bro
Time’s 5th gear, go.
Hoxton crew they chime
Suffocated in vex n crime,
Blind to the route from cave like grime.
No brawlin, no bawling 
A hot meaty drink is ya destination callin 
Warm inside, calm n ease
Kick start to bringing home those Ps

Plagiarism, these exact words were used in the 3rd series of Top Boy.

...Along with Marmite while you're at it...🤢

I love Marmite. Butter first on slightly warm toast (too hot and your toast goes soggy). Thinly spread Marmite, and top with thinly sliced cucumber. Yum. 

My son swears by avocado and marmite on sourdough. I've never tried it.

😫😫...
 Change the Marmite for Peanut Butter and your onto a winner...👍

Under normal circumstances this would get a 🤢, but I have Covid so wouldn't taste it anyway. 

Hopefully you will be over it soon, and back to your Marmite...👍

Couple of slices of toast, spread with Dairylea, spread bovril on top (marmite works as well) - beautiful.

Thats a late entry for most accidental middle class post of the year, rivalling anything on the shares and investment thread

I'm sorry to tell you this but it appears you've spawned a monster.

Blimey, it's not you I saw on Charlton Lane Crossing on Tuesday night is it? We were all grumbling how we'd under-dressed for the weather and couldn't wait to get back to the car when this guy bowled past us in Bermuda shorts like he was heading for the beach. Couldn't believe it.

I’ve only ever drunk Bovril at the Valley, nowhere else, ever!
