    The ruination of whiskey is putting coke in it. :-)
    Water, no ice, is the shot!

    Captain Morgan's and Coke is a decent drink.

    our knackery man is very good, would normally give you an indication what the problem was, our vet charges 100, an odd time he wont charge as he would be as interested as us to know what was wrong... only reason i would get one done is if god forbid you had another one die, you might be able to prevent it

    Every morning this week I have met the cops checking for tax and insurance and doing random breath tests. Was tested myself this morning. The guy beside me was being done for having no trailer licence for his jeep and 12x6 ifor. Drinking is a dangerous game if you have to be on the road the next morning!

    in a few places around here, there is no need to add water, as there is enough in it already.

    Quick question. What's the ideal amount of milk a 1 month old calf would want to b getting. They're getting good amount of crunch as it is and are mad for it

    3 lts a day is enough. Any more will reduce the amount of crunch they eat which will result in a fall off in growth when they are weaned.
