And now there will be two
 
I have kept my mock up build under a sheet in the corner of the yard away from prying eyes and time wasting mates that like to drink gallons of my coffee. I uncover it when i have an hour or two so i can crack on which i was doing the other day, I heard "alright mate put the kettle on " looked round and its my mate Guy "WTF is that" he said , so after a gallon of tea and wasting an hour of my time he said order me one. So now i have to build two, i wouldnt mind but he has got two left feet wher his hands belong and he uses my beloved snapon ratchet as a kin hammer and screwdrivers as lever bars. Has anyone got a stool and a bit of rope they can lend me.:eek: :eek:

it will be cool, when he gets up to speed he will be someone to bounce ideas off eventually. He mus be educated in the importance of tools. Im a sparky and when people miss-use my cutters i go ape :mad: :)

Rob you need to have 2 different brands of coffee in the work shop, I had this problem with the landlord just give him the crap coffee. ;) As for the issue of now having to build two cars I can't see that being a problem after all they are built on a budget, just means your bill will have bigger numbers in it which is fine by me:D Any news on that diff yet?

Thats what I do when the guys from work come over, I use my nespressso machine and they get the gold blend instant horrible stuff.

You lot are assuming that my mates would know the difference between good coffe or bad. I dont know for sure but i reckon i could knock up a coffee using the water from the quenching bucket and they would be none the wiser.;)

When I started as an apprentice I was given tea making duty, but it only lasted a week, I was banned from the tea pot. As one that doesnt drink tea I didnt know you had to REMOVE the old tea bags and not just add a fresh one for every other pot made. I think the final straw was when I added coffee to it to make it a bit darker as they were complaining that it looked weak. Never had to make the tea again

Even quicker way of getting off brew making duty, anti-freeze as a sweetner!! :eek: :D
