Energy drinks, and the caffeine/sugar induced mood swings that comes with them.

There a legal way of taking drugs at work.
I take it you are meaning staff that consume them. We have a young lad here who seems to live off them. Fly's off the handle at the least small thing that is said to him. Often wondered if these drinks made him moody or he is just being a tw*t.

For that matter why can't some people even keep the original top link and balls with the tractor when using it on a daily basis. They will leave them with an implement then rob the top link off another tractor when they need one, perpetuating cycle of wasted time and frustration. They say it doesn't matter, but it does if I have to spend 20 minutes searching for a top link when I need one.

Leave it on the tractor.
Problem on old Db stuff was top link hanging down and when you lifted arms you broke top of casing off when link caught pick up hitch surround ,habit hard to break on newer machines

I was out running yesterday and got attacked by a buzzard:(
I was merrily running alone, when suddenly something hit the back of my head. At first i thought it was a branch falling from a tree or maybe a bird had accidentally crashed into me, but after the third or fourth hit I managed to catch sight of a large buzzard swooping down towards me. At first I thought I just had a few small cuts on my head, as the bleeding seemed only slight and to stop fairly quickly. But when I got home I found I had a trail of dried blood down my hair and neck. Upon further checking by my wife, I have a couple of deepish cuts and several smaller cuts.

Waited all day to spray minerals on the beet, sprayer calibrated perfectly etc. Got it done. Parked up back in shed and noticed jug of wetter still on the side. I'd been busy washing the empty wetter container out into the induction bowl and forgotten to put the main amount from the jug in.

Still, looking at the news tonight it's insignificant. Words fail me.

Don't worry I've done that before too!

Slightly annoying to see this earlier today.

A recently fledged Sparrowhawk in the cattle pen.

I thought that I would rescue it, only 2 cattle in that pen, a 350 kg yearling at the back and a 1,2 tonne bull in the foreground.

The bull demonstrated his displeasure of the scheme, I withdrew, the baby Sparrowhawk will have to take his chances.....

Was referring to the unbelievably evil horrific deeds in Sri Lanka but Nuff said. Speaks for itself, so I won't comment further.

Can't believe the pigeon shooting fiasco. The country has gone mad.

Finished spraying for today, this time with everything in the tank! Minerals on my spring barley.

Some rain would be nice. It's getting tiresome driving the sprayer through dust and struggling crops.

That [:mad:] clot who drives along the road in his telehandler with the oversized grain bucket and gouges out MY ROAD HEDGE at a corner because he cannot be bothered to steer his vehicle!!

He won't drive through a hamlet on the shortest way from his A to B because he knows there'll be hell to pay if there's so much as a suggestion of scratching second home owners's cars, of those of long-term inhabitants (or their holiday let visitors), but thinks it's completely fine to vandalise somebody's property that isn't a box on four wheels :mad:
