I think we must have his twin brother working with us, similar cans and bottles. Thankfully he is leaving in about a weeks time. Flys off the handle at the least wee thing, always at the Doctors about not putting weight on, and always running to the toilet. All I believe to be related to his excessive consumption of high caffeine energy drinks. He has a girlfriend who drinks the stuff excessively as well and is not uncommon for her to have to go to hospital with heart palpatations/ irregular heartbeat. And yet he maintains that drinking red bull etc is not the problem.

Lets hope they don't/can't breed.

Who wants a tidy mind anyway!!!

Do you always take a rifle in the tractor cab?

He’s spreading fertilizer and was afraid of getting robbed

The MoD are concerned about an epidemic of young squaddies with absolutely rotten teeth.
They are putting down to a high consumption of 'energy drinks' and the fact that none of the brands are buffering the acidity, which is leading to advanced tooth decay at an alarmingly quick rate.

Edit: Red Bull has a pH of 3.0, compared to battery acid at pH1.0. The critical pH level of drinks to prevent tooth decay is a pH 5.5...

Aim Energy drinks are widely consumed worldwide and are recognised for their adverse health effects, usually due to their high caffeine content. However, little is known about their impact on oral and general health. The aim of this investigation was to review the most popular energy drinks sold...

Old one is a credit to you

Snap! Ours is 2015 and also washed/waxed regularly. Makes the world of difference. Ok being red, it’s not as true red as when it was new but I think both mine and your old one are a credit to hi spec paint and finish.

Out of interest why the brand change? Better deal?

Hope your going to fix that pto guard

 

[ColinV6]

Hope your going to fix that pto guard

It actually just wants the broken hoop cut off, annoyingly the shaft has self harmed and the knuckle has worn through it. Thankfully though the bit with the chains on etc is in tact and works fine. So the guard is fully working
