    Aspartame. Apart from it being either used in too high a concentration in drinks or vastly toooooooo sweet anyway, does anybody else get a dry mouth after drinking anything with the bloody stuff in? What is the point of it in a drink if it dries out your mouth?

    Today I am so angry about the former PO employees who have still not been paid their compensation, and why are the perpetrators of this crime not in jail?

    and there are plenty of others who have never been 'on the radar' of that scandal. The 'system' closed ranks and threw out a load of twaddle to bamboozle people and their families so they wouldn't realise what had happened or why. The ones who caught HIV, developed AIDS and died with it all covered up and hushed up and even if there was compensation to be paid, their families wouldn't see it because no one 'knows' and it's all too long ago

    Well, they never cared about starving their own people after the Revolution so why worry about non Russians?

    Those grain supplies are just as likely to have been heading for Europe.  Apparently there has already been a surge in grain prices.

    Yes, I am getting the advertisement too.  I just reload.  It seems to go away for a while.

    I really don't understand the problem. I just scroll past them. There's not that many anyway
