The BBC Learning English Science Team has shone a light on new research they did on modifying human genes. It has created a real buzz, and George is the first volunteer test subject! The Science Team has modified his genes to make George only have to eat a tuna and cucumber sandwich and a brew of coffee a day!

My Best three investment is 1-honda cbf150 motorcycle ( 11 years no problem )
2- bosh filter coffee machine ( 20+ years no problem )
3- moser haircutting machine almost one year but life saving equipment ....
New machines are not solid I don't think they will work more than 20 years ....

Too much coffee is risk specially if you work at night when you arw sleepless it is makes you very aggressive
