I once worked with a guy who's breakfast was two cans of Guinness, he used to buy four from the pub at chucking out time, two for supper and two for breakfast. He was only in his forties, but looked about sixty.

:shock: oulala... What is going on there. Even me who is not a builder I did better the first time I did it. If this guy is a joiner he needs to change of job. He must not be getting paid often.
