I can honestly say I don't think there will ever be characters like MD in this changing world and country.
Don't think I'd ever met anyone quite like Mick before and doubt I'll ever meet anyone quite like him again.I can remember getting up his place early one morning for a run and the wind feeling like it was gunna cut you in half when we got out the motor out in the middle of the marsh next to his cottage.Mick came strolling out to us in bare feet,dungarees and a chequed shirt with the top 3 buttons undone.He stood and had a chat for 10mins and asked if I thought my bull cross bitch could kill a fox on his marsh.When I said she could catch them anywhere he went in and got his jack Russel bitch and put on a pair of what looked like them Croc things that are all the rage now.No socks or Coat and walked the marsh for about 3hrs with us.

Spent a bit of time with Mick in the late 90s.Was introduced to him be a mate of mine Chris who'd had dogs from him since he was a teenager when Mick came down to Kent to buy a generator from Chris's dad.First time I met him he was staying down here in his Van as he had a little boat on a creek near me and went out into the swale for 3 days on his tiny boat with 2 dogs,His old lurcher Swiftny and a little Jack Russel bitch.I had a neat little bitch that Chris had produced by accident out of a brother/sister mating from Micks breeding who was so obedient and easily trained but only good for rabbits as she only stood about 21".Mick was impressed with how well trained I had her and was also impressed with some smoke that Id grown and we hit it off.He was a really interesting fella who seemed to know a bit about everything.Had a good few days coursing up on his Marsh over the next few years and he would always give me a bell to see if I could get him some compost as he called it whenever he was down this end.

They don't start off bad.Theyve just not been loved and allowed on the sofa for snuggles enough.

You said that not me.......its all good anyway i wish i did but i just dont really have an eye for things i'll see certain scenarios and try and piece them together like a crime scene and come up with nothing....then i'll ask someone whats the sp and it all makes sense,just experience i suppose......i love the countryside and am always following tracks and footprints the dog just stares at me like " what you doing down there you f****n idiot just follow me "
Learn to trust the dog mate.They know more than what we do.One of my pet hates has always been blokes trying to send their dogs down holes or encouraging them into cover like they know better than the one with a super sensitive nose on the front of its face.

I bit my tongue on this post, I assumed he was talking about KC bulldogs
it's laughable, but as long as he was happy with the dog I s'pose....re: pure ebts being matched, the only one I can think of was "Carl's Guvnor" pretty sure his claim to fame was losing against tug! But I may have remembered wrong. They're a "rough and tumble" dog at best, and to claim any were anywhere near "as game as any bulldog" would hint to me the person making the claim has never seen a true, gamebred bulldog going about it's business!...j.m.h.o...
Yokel
You and me both.I thought you know what it aint even worth commenting on.Be like trying to have a sensible debate about bulldogs and suchlike with a certain fella who keeps saluki lurchers.

We're off to Turkey next month mate.If we get out to Barbados later in the year we might as well have a nice gaff all to ourselves in amongst all the real stuff rather than a hotel on a complex surrounded by loads of othe tourists paying tourist prices for everything.

We're hoping to do Barbados some time later this year.Its all dependent on when my missus's auntie comes back to spend some time in her house over here so that we can use her house out there for a couple of weeks.

I prefer no roof on the runs so the dogs are able to lie in the sun if they prefer.
And the pens dry out quicker after washing down and are more airy.I always think fully enclosed kennels/runs look dark and damp

This is me for today.First meal was at 10.30,Ive just eaten the eggs even though I wasnt really hungry so that Im ready for my dinner at 6 after walking the dogs for an hour which tonight will be 3 big pork belly strips,broccoli,carrots and asparagus.then wont eat anything till 10 or 11 tomorrow.8 monts ago Id have had 4 slices of toast with before I left for work,Sarnies,crisps,chocolate,cake in my pack up and been popping to the shop or bakery if there was one nearby.Dinner when I got in with bread and butter if there was anything to mop up and then be in and out the cupboards all night.Because Ive always been slim I was convinced that i needed all that because Im active so thats why I was always hungry when in fact its eating all them carbs and sugary crap and additives that aren't even food that make you fel constantly hungry and leave you craving more of the same shit.

Something downsouth just touched on...
Eating this way stops you getting really hungry eating loads of animal protein and fat stops you craving food...its weird took me by surprise to be fair cos I would want to eat every 3 or 4 hours....that's gone now usually eat just twice a day ....I never thought I would be like that
Its because youre not getting the insuline spikes from the carbs.Eat carbs or sugary food or drinks and you get a big insuline spike then when it drops off you feel hungry and weak and think you need more sugar or carbs and just a merry go round.Like you mentioned I have 1 crap a day and my stomoch/bowel feels empty afterwards.I sleep better and wake up fresher every day and my joints ache a lot less than they did and I haven't lost much weight,just a bit of fat from where I didnt really want it anyway.I also think only eating in a 6 to 8 hour window has had real benefits for me too.

Thanks for the replies lad's. I am going to give Tomos advice a go and look into keto channel.
You honestly dont need all the carbs that were conditioned to think we need mate.I use to eat loads as I thought I needed them with how active I am but Ive cut them right down and feel great for it.My general work day goes.100g of natural 100%peanut butter with blueberries and a banana late morning.4 or 5 boiled eggs with mixed salad and advacado early afternoon with olive oil and sea salt,No salad dressings as theyre all full of sugar.Then a nice steak or pork chops,jerk chicken if Im lucky and loads of mixed veg no later than 6pm I might have a small ammount of sweet potato with my dinner.Breakfast on a weekend will generally be 1/2 a dozen poached or fried in dripping eggs with garlic mushrooms,tomatoes and spinach and if Im at mu missus's I might cheat and have some fried dumplings.And Im someone who used to scoff all day and think nothing of doing 8 or 10 slices of bread a day.I craved shit for a few weeks but now I dont even think about eating junk and never feel hungry

i did some work for a retired nurse some time back, and just in conversation, diabetes came up which she said her father had, had it, well, she maintains that his high level count went down considerably when she put him on apple cider vinegar and honey daily, she swears by it...(my wife takes it daily for arthritis with great effects)...the best apple cider vinegar is the one called mother, it has all the bits in it that float around when you shake it....but you can buy it in capsule form....
also my uncle had diabetes, which he did get his levels down with a controlled diet....i don't know what his diet was but my auntie said he managed quite good at that time.....
I take a ginger and turmeric shot every morning mixed with sea moss as soon as im up and showered.Then I have 2 tbs of apple cider vinegar with mother and juice from 1/2 lemon in a 1/2 pint bottle of water whilst I walk the dogs.I then dont have anything else untill at least 10am at work or later if Im not hungry.I also dont eat anything after 6pm at the latest.

Most bread nowadays is full of preservatives, Greggs bread can last 2 weeks or more without going mouldy!,
Its full of all sorts that aint food.Same as most processed/packet/jar food.Full of ingredients that aren't recognisable as food or sugar just going under a different name

Same as mate.If it's got f**k all to do with me or mine I keep my nose firmly out of it.Why go jumping in the middle of something that's got nothing to do with you and risk getting sliced up or something nasty squirted in your face.Especially in London where it seems to be the norm to walk about with something I your pocket
