Have our TB test on Monday morn so i rang vet today to see would he take a few blood samples to do a mineral sample. He was very reluctant to do it. Tryed to tell him that were lacking in P in the soil and that were feeding a pile of minerals and wanted to see if they were coming through. Couldn't get him to understand it ha

only ever seen one lad do this and hes a dealer, and when he buys he pulls off the sticker with comb to try not leave a patch thats noticable

Soak the sticker in white spirit for a few minutes and then it dissolves and brushes out, glue and all. No bald patch or lumpy glue either

Or so I hear

I expected that off bob
One of the lads on duty last night went down with a pain in his calf muscle, pulled muscle or something. Two hours later it got worse. We smelled a rat so called the medical corp and they sent out an ambulance. Went to hospital and there was a blood clot moving up his leg. He's fine now waiting on an operation but it came out of no where.

Fair play to ye another lad would have left him off till the morning. I take it your in the army so? Do you find it hard to juggle the farm with work? It's not like you have a 9 to 5 sure. And your probably sent away a fair bit aswell?
