I mean their leaders were loving and caring souls

And the fact that you have this kind of pictures on your computer isn't worrying at all.

I asked if she missed anything from home and she said the tea is better there.!

Is this true??

It occurs to me that she makes tea with a boot(https://youtu.be/5P1q3IDjBaI?t=50) the older the boot is the stronger the tea gets

In small towns drivers often ask clients for directions, some of them are not able to use navigation, smoke while driving.

All gorgeous girls were regarded as spies so they probably were hidden in KGB basements

Doesn't grow in Scotland either but we can buy Scottish Blend tea

From what I see in the news the only thing that grows in Ukraine these days is resentment.

Maybe that's why my ex tenant's big bouncy Bolshevik bride was so keen to come to the decadent West.

Ukraine was always one of the food producing provinces of the former USSR. I am sure they still have a wheat harvest.

It does in Cornwall! Its cheap too!

t's fitting that the first truly English tea is now available from Fortnum & Mason. Tucked away on the banks of the River Fal in Cornwall is the Tregothnan Estate, home of Lord Falmouth's family since 1335. Secretly developed over the last decade and heralded as the next Darjeeling, the tea has quickly become very sought-after. This single-estate tea is the very first flush to be picked and has a clean, dry flavour reminiscent of a traditional Darjeeling.

Very cheap a mere £75 for 50grammes, think I will stick to tea bags!

I live in Finland and like many people here - I coffee lover, coffee maniac!))) There are many different sorts, but ... is this the finnish coffee?

Can anyone tell me what is going on with the right to own firearms in the former Soviet Bloc? I could go to Wikipedia and find out, but that could just make me a "wikiling" who does not really want more than a possibly-wrong and very quick answer.

I would imagine that after the USSR had a police state, a brutal government, and likely denied the right of weaponry to "its" citizens, the Russian people would at least see that it is dangerous for a government to monopolize guns.

So do you agree with Charlton Heston, Ted Nugent, and Wayne LaPierre that you must have something like a Second Amendment to safeguard your liberties against the state?

Russia is a police state run by a dictator. Places where guns are illegal or limited such as UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, Germany, France, among others are not. All the gun owners in the US didn't prevent Bush and Cheney from radically reducing civil liberties with the Patriot Act.

I wonder if the folks who ran them came to the US and founded the private prison industry. Would it be a conflict of interest in Russia for a judge to own stock in a prison where he was sending defendants to serve their sentences?

I kind of miss "the home of the free and the land of the brave." Mostly are young people are too fat and stupid to meet enlistment standards.
