  3. Steroids

    Didn't i read somewhere you only recently learnt to post a picture on here ? lol

     

    Joking aside, i do believe in what you say about pushing your body to levels and testing yourself. Are you saying it is totally for self satisfaction and nothing to do with sharing what you have achieved with others ?

     

    Body building being an art form, albeit hobbie based, i am sure there is a time one wants to show his art and get some gratification from others, even if its just from the training partner in the changing rooms. You didn't stand and pose for that photo for a pass port photograph ?? (catch my drift) There within is the exhibitionist i speak of. It is not a bad word or one to be ashamed of. To say it has nothing "to do with this preening the feathers thing you talk about" again sir i really do beg to differ.

     

    Can i join your gym ? lol ;+)

    Steroid use is more rife than ever now. Why? Cos most of the little posers & homos who walk around emulating JLS with the low cut tops, gay haircuts & spray tans are bang into them. They say its fashion but if you spend more time applying make up & straightening your hair than your lass you might aswell take it up the arse. How times have changed.....and not for the better either!

    Yes exactly like JLS....very pretty haircut,lovely nose and teeth.......definately a fashion conscious homo !

    JLS = Juice loaded Scouser ?

     

    Joking aside, man has had an infatuation with muscle mass and physical size for millenia, it is the old adage me tarzan you jane philosophy. Purely for his own personal satisfaction and nothing to do with vanity or masculinity ? i think i would beg to differ. That is why there are bodybuilding competitions, "COMPETITIONS" so one can pose, yes "pose" and show his masculinity and size at its finest being, all buff and brawn. To say there is no vanity in body building is a bit of a bluff, come on, again back to an inward urge to attract the opposite sex and procreate. One has to stand out, peacock style, be bigger and better than any competition he might have with other males. Weather you (we) like it or not it is an inbuilt animal'istic homosapien urge to look our best and preen those feathers and look and feel great against all other competition (some a lot more than other's i might add). I am not slandering the hobbie of body building, merely stating that in my opinion anyone that does this is not doing it purely for themselves, but surely there is self felt glory and satisfaction from low ranking males that suck up and praise men who have made the effort to build their bodies into this form. Exhibitionists come in all forms, and body building is one of them.

     

    This is not aimed solely at yourself gnasher, but my quote has stemmed from your posting a picture of yourself on a public forum and fore mentioning that your not vain or a poser or the likes, would you agree an exhibitionist? or argue against ?

     

    I whole heartedly praise you in your quest of physical achievement, i read your posts on this topic with interest, can i ask what age are you in the pic and would you recommend the hobbie of body building ?

     

    Yours in sincerity

  11. Hatchwell Seaweed Powder

    in Working Dog Health & Training Talk

    Posted

    Kelp Seaweed is a great source of all 37 Minerals and trace elements and ideal to add to working dog food. The most important thing is quality and I would recommend you get the best you can that is BHP standard. As quite simply there is allot of very low quality Kelp seaweed floating around.

     

    I use it daily with my dogs who are fed a natural diet.

     

    A example which is quite interesting is that SA37 is simply a man made version of Kelp Seaweed, but obviously Kelp Seaweed is a better way of feeding due to the facts its natural and better used by the body. You will also notice that many many foods add Kelp Seaweed to food stuffs to boost the Mineral content.

    Its superb to increase coat growth help with strong nails and as I mentioned earlier superb way of supplying all 37 minerals and trace elements.

     

    Working dog men have been using it for years as a conditioner to great effect.

     

    Good luck Sirius

     

    Good man Sirius, great post. With out a condescending attitude.

  12. Give A Dog A Pill? Mark11.

    in Working Dog Health & Training Talk

    Now I admit to being a bit of an old git in my own time so maybe my perception is clouded by bad attitude but lordy at times I cold spit blood. To demonstrate what I mean I need to tell a story.

    Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.

     

    As with all the best stories this one begins in the pub, a small back street local rarely troubled by the incursion of non-locals but on this day was invaded by a party of holiday makers. There I was sipping my beer and pondering on life when the establishment was invaded by two quiet large couples plus offspring and a nicely made terrier. I retired to the other side of the bar to contemplate the wonders of beer but alas my revere was disturbed by the conversation from across the way as it grew in volume seemingly fueled by an urgency of one to outdo the other.

     

    It seemed to have begun with the rather stouter of the two ladies complaining of "pains in her knees" and how the NHS had totally failed to cure, or even find a cause for this affliction, other than an "idiotic doctor who said it was because she was so over weight!" This opening salvo was countered by the second lady bringing out her food allergies. These it seemed were numerous and devastating resulting in a multitude of symptoms from bloating, wind and constipation to diarrhea. These revelations were countered by the larger lady with "Irritable Bowel Syndrome" or IBS with a far too in-depth description of her symptoms and as the final blow stated "Popsy" the terrier is just the same". With this statement she sat back on her laurels, or at least bar stool, and surveyed the field daring any to attempt a riposte.

     

    Her broken adversary forgo to attempt to out ill such an opponent but rather fell to meekly inquiring on the poor pups symptoms. As answer the victor gleefully described a catalogue of ills, allergies and dietary constraints as diagnosed by "her friend" the "dog star" that knows about dogs. These it seemed closely resembled those she had described earlier when pronouncing on her own IBS. The pup it would seem could only remain symptom free with feeding a "special diet" and a multitude of supplements from seaweed to garlic.

     

    During the exchange the dog in question had scrabbled around the floor with the innumerable children sharing in their crisp, fizzy pop and cheese rolls with confidence and the look of a well practiced cadger of unwanted morsels. I ruefully thought, "if that dogs got a food intolerance let alone allergy there've in for an interesting few night under canvas"

     

    A couple of evenings later we were again "blessed " with this bundle of humanity with similar results with the doyenne of medical extremis putting away more alcohol, in a variety of forms, than us poor locals could manage in a week.This got me thinking, a dangerous practice after a few glasses of "Old Appledore", the pup seemed extremely healthy and happy on its diet of hypo-allergenic-low fat-low protein-extremely expensive food and various supplements, at least when this is balanced with crisps, chocolate, sandwiches, snot and whatever it could scrounge from or lick off of the faces of its dimitive human playmates.

    Throwing caution to the winds I decided to approach the, by now merry crew, and commented on the animal in question. This elicited a good response with explanations of it's prowess of intelligence, alertness, guarding ability, iron constitution and "it's so good with the kids". Venturing to have a quick exam of the pup I found a well made youngster with a good coat, clear bright eye, well colored gums and no sign of dehydration or ills of any sort, certainly no sign of ill effects from its somewhat catholic diet. So in one circumstance it was a fragile, poorly pup in dire duress in the other it's a contender to Lassies crown.

     

    Where's the truth? Probably somewhere in the middle perhaps at some point the pup had a touch of gastritis, from whatever cause, but as to there being an ongoing problem it would seem unlikely having watched it consume a variety of foods with seemingly no adverse effects. Foods that could only be dealt by an animal that had inherited its digestive prowess from generations of wolves then dogs that had survived by being able to digest and utilize whatever calorie sources where available in whatever condition they were in. This all begs the question why?

     

    Why do people get kudus from ill health and is the recent upsurge in new canine diets, supplements and herbal remedies, following similar for humans, a symptom of transference of our own inadequacies rather than any real problem with our dogs? As many people come to believe in supplements etc to use as crutches for their own fears or poor lifestyles are we developing a culture of normality for such behavior? Will the future hold status through ill health rather than health leading to transference of this behavior to our pets, Hypochondria by proxy or perhaps even Münchausen by proxy of Canis familiaris.

     

    Jackanory time !!! whats this got to do with the price of butter, or more to the point, dog owning civilians that couldn't care less what fido eats, comparing to the working (dog) men/woman who care a lot more what goes into their well oiled working machines. If we didn't care we wouldn't go out of our way to make sure we put in exactly what the dogs mechanism requires to be in top tune, so some post and ask questions on various supplementation. Get out of the books and into the field sandy, keep story time to bed time or the countrymaids weekly.

    The rarity of them and the fact there different is what makes them worth more,the colour mutations breed the same as every thing else so there not harder to breed as it were but it's just the time and effort in producing them in the first place that has set the price,a lot of line breeding and i'm sure a few sad moments go into catching the mutation and then producing it regular and i'd say thats why they cost so much,To be honest i have some colour mutations redpolls and greenies but imo you just cannot beat a natural coloured bird,look at the cock Bullfinch,a belter of a bird with colour on him to die for and folks pay a grand for a white one icon_eek.gif when a normal will cost you £40 but at the end of the day it's up to the person who wants one and what they will pay for one.

    Cracking looking bird though the Eumo goldie and maybe one day thumbs.gif

     

    Ta for the explannation squire thumbs.gif ........like any hobby i suppose.........some nutbags pay bundles for a stamp but still think they,ve had a result.....whatever your into i guess.

     

    My wife paid £50 for a stamp in the 80's i near left her over it. It could have fed us for a month back then. She must have knew something i obviously didn't, 6k she sold it for last year. Nutbags ehh LOL

     

    Thanks for the memory gnash.
