I drink fresh juice (rarely orange, they don't grow here, but apple, blackcurrants, raspberries, etc., are all good :) ) and it's nothing like the sickly sweetness of the aspartame, etc.,
I'm not saying it's not rich in sugars, just that it's not 'beyond' sweet. It's enjoyable to drink, unlike the fake stuff.

Love the image of BG though :D

cheers,
M

No arguments that the taste is definitely much better (it's a real sweet vs the fake sweet) But nonetheless it's definitely very sweet. I suppose the term "sickeningly" is subjective to ones individual tolerance for sugar. Just like how salty is salty, etc. As a kid I would have barely noticed it TBH but now I can taste it immediately. Likewise the difference in whole milk vs skim.

Aspartame is really really bad for you. I wouldn't touch it... ever. Have a google and see what it says. :)

I loved the way that Terry Pratchett took the Morris dancers and made them anti-elf guerillas :D

Part of the reason that folks look a bit off at the dancers is simply that they are removed from their rural roots; that the seasonal round is shattered. There are probably more people here in touch with it though than in most walks of life.
Farmers and fishermen apart, that is. To most people the seasonality is probably more of an inconvenience :sigh:

cheers,

Tougher than Molly/Morris Dancers!


Are the tubes in use rather than swords traditional or are they a result of sword legislation? Know some belly dancers who had problems with the police over their scimitars which was stupid.
