So far there is a documentary, but nothing fictional as far as I can see. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avicii_...

Recipes - VEGEMITE Say hello to MITEY meals featuring recipes from Bolognese to the Barty Parmy! Spoon (or squeeze) your way through your favourite Australian icon and create a meal the whole fam will love– simply filte...

You can straight-up use vegemite as an ingredient! I'm sure this list of suggested recipes will make a lot of people very upset, but I am here to say that vegemite spaghetti is great and so is putting a bit in a vegetarian shepherd's pie to add some umami. vegemite.com.au/recipes/

Cis people never show the slightest love to effeminate men or butch women, except when someone wants to transition, and then suddenly they just love them.

Aviici, given that there's already a museum/experience about him. There might already be a Swedish TV series/movie, I haven't checked.

One caveat to say that I prefer vegemite to mämmi - I like the latter, but I'm not going to say it's my absolute favourite. But it's fun to eat it a couple of times a year. I would describe the flavour as being dark, malty and sweet, with flavour notes similar to a dark beer.

A jar of vegemite, a bright yellow-lidded glass jar of a dark brown yeast extract, next to a box of mämmi, a Finnish traditional easter time delicacy which is sort of...a brown sludge made out of carefully cooked rye flour.

The jar of vegemite and the box of mämmi are now open, revealing that they look almost identically thick, brown and sludgy.

Just realised that right now in our kitchen we have two iconic grain-related brown sludgy products that foreigners typically hate. I am so far the only person I know who likes both of them.

Meanwhile northern hemisphere magpies are just going "kekekekekekeke" :(

Also they don't look anything like Australian magpies, what were the settlers DOING

I do, however, enjoy the fact that Finland is not usually on fire during the summer.

It's one of the things I miss most about Australia now that I live in Finland! Not that I don't enjoy jackdaws and great tits, but it's a bit bleak that a) you barely see any species variation unless you are a hardcore birdwatcher and b) for half of the year 60% of them are gone.

Yeah the one animal in Australia that WILL reliably attack you is a magpie. I tell that to all the people who are like "oh no the snakes/spiders/sharks/crocodiles" as well as bringing up that other countries have bears, and I'd rather be bitten by a snake than a bear.

Oh, I thought it was just a verbatim copy of the sonnets? Does it have interpretation/scholarly introductions or something too?

I do have a theory that birdwatching is a less elite activity in Australia because our birds rarely migrate, are forearm sized and often sit on the ground, whereas in the northern hemisphere you often need to have super high powered binoculars and go to the middle of nowhere to see anything.

I do think to some extent getting into birdwatching at a young age has made it less likely that I'll become short-sighted, but I have no evidence. My Mum is short-sighted but my Dad isn't, so that could just be genetic luck.

Cheek - Where i'm from YouTube video by Haatis

I could say the same for this song. My wife didn't even realise it was in English. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPc6...

The book in question is this - it's now been retitled as "horribly famous" rather than Dead Famous and has a worse cover, but this is the OG one that I read. www.abebooks.com/978043998269...

Those teachers were WEAK.

I didn't study Shakespeare at school (yes I know, it's bizarre, my teacher refused to do it) but I read the Dead Famous biography of him, which is aimed at kids, and even that mentions that most of his sonnets were written to the Fair Lord, a guy he "fancied."

Weirdly enough it can handle bread (although I bake that inside a cast iron casserole dish so I guess that's acting as its own oven), biscuits/cookies and hot cross buns, but the heat just can't get into a large quantity of cake batter in an optimal way. After too many terrible cakes, we've given up

It is truly terrible whenever I see a recipe for a really delicious looking cake, which I immediately know I can't bake because our oven can't bake any cake-like objects bigger than a muffin. (The outsides get dried out and overdone and/or the middles don't cook properly.)

Funny cause the poem is specifically about a dude (although I guess he could also have tits, not here to be prescriptivist)

My goodly wife then proceeded to rewatch bits of the Hammarskjöld movie while I was at work.

I don't have a favourite Simpsons quote because I haven't watched very much of it.

Still, pop cultural osmosis means there are probably things I say that I don't even know are from the Simpsons, so there's that.

But what does it say? Tiny? Ting? Tim? Enquiring minds must know

I hope that when they get to "our heart's honeymoon" and "cosy loving pair" it's annotated as "they're gay" and "they had a same sex marriage"

Before anyone wonders why I didn't just look at the DVD box, it's variable here whether they have the translated title or the non-translated title on the box, and in this case the DVD art just said "The Way We Were" and it only said Parhaat Vuotimme on the library barcode sticker.

Confusingly enough, The Best Years Of Our Lives is called "Parhaat Vuodet" (Best years), so you can see why I was confused. Maybe "The Way We Were" didn't sound very good in Finnish.

So the lesson is always google the Finnish title because sometimes the translations aren't what you expect!

I went "oh!" and then immediately ran home to get the DVD because...it was The Way We Were, which I *did* have on the DVD shelf, which for some reason in Finnish is called...Parhaat Vuotimme (Our Best Years.)

Anyway, I faced up to the librarian, said that I couldn't find the DVD anywhere and that we always put them all on the same shelf so maybe it was already returned and just missing in the system, when she said "do you remember what the cover looked like?" and then said it was a Robert Redford movie

A TALE OF TRANSLATION:
In summer Emma borrowed The Best Years Of Our Lives from the library. Yesterday I noticed that "Parhaat Vuotimme" (Our Best Years) was due at the library. I could not find the DVD of The Best Years Of Our Lives...for the life of me.
