celeste Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 How do people who make programs on t'telly choose/find music for them, I'm just wondering as I've been watching The Million Pound Bike Ride, and the bit of music that was played over Russell Howards bit about the wee boy, was by a band I used to be into called Tones on Tail, pretty obscure band who were made up from the ends of Bauhaus, and it made me go " how the hell do media types know about that !?" Ben's eaten his tea , now I just need to find an antacid that's easier to give him, he's not the easiest dog to give tablets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tegk68 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 RMF: embarrasing moment of the week. I have been very lucky in recent times to not have one of the above for some while. I made up for this fact on Tuesday. After leaping out of bed early and being desperate for a coffee and knowing we had no milk, it all went down hill from there..... I arrive some minutes later at the local village shop, still with last nights mascara around my eyes but safe in the knowledge that the BO basher had be applied and teeth cleaned so I wasn't going to be too repugnant to anyone . Chatted away to a couple of locals about the state of the weather - good & sunny. Helped Mrs Muggins out of the door and found my milk and went to the cashier. Yes all was well with the world and a decent milky coffee was just round the corner now. Oh but hang on what's this? "Have you got a bit of toilet roll under your shoe?", asks the lovely cashier. "I don't think so", I reply. But then I look down and yes I do see something, which may have been daz white once but now was definately smog grey and is trailing along the floor, albeit only a short way. "Ah" I say, "it's a handkechief" (sp). Am still smiling at this point. I then bend down to remove said item and to my horror, my absolute horror, notice that it is not such an innocent item as a hanky BUT an old pair of white G-strings that must have got caught round my trainers as I hurriedly dressed *wibble* . I manage to keep at bay the hyperventilation, just and squeak out "nope just a hanky, as I said" and quickly scoop up said item and put it in my pocket, and leave, very, very rapidly for home... bl**dy marvellous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Poor little staffy. Hope he recovers ok to have a good new life. To think he only weighs a little bit more than Scooby that is very shocking. He weighs much less than my little Polly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheryl33 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I know Michelle, wish I could rule whatever it was out once and for all. It be 5 years of scratching and ictching. I don't think its the Thornit. I have been using 4 times a day for 2 weeks. I'm thinking something has blown into it today when we went out. He is sat on the couch now glaring at me with his cone on. Its not food as he is fed Burns and nothing else. He is only fed something different at Xmas or on hols etc and he hasnt been fed anything recently. There are other tests that can be done to rule things out or he can go back on Atopica but I just can't afford them at the moment I jus feel s*** all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah B Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Well.... DEA advisorbloke said it was a great idea, my business plan and proposition were amazing, he will action some monies for advertising costs and insurance and said that gradually increasing my hours to a manageable level was the way to go, and he would fully support me as much as possible Onbe is somewhat chuffed Thanks for everyones' positive thoughts - they definitely helped! I have done the Facebook page - Happy Paws Canine Daycare if anyone would like to become a fan or link from a rescue or cause (modlies please remove if thats not allowed) Hope they can help when I started dog walking last year I got help from Inbiz and was able to get benifit for 6 months test trading I've not heard of them - will have a Google Oh my he's gorgeous!

Helly Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Morning. Busy busy here as I still have 2 staff off. Ive been on kennel shovelling duty all week but now manager is signed off sick too so Im back in my comfy chair Cheryl - Ive used thornit for years and years, but I admit I have never seen a recommended dose that high on the info leaflets so no idea if Henry has reacted or not. Mine get a pinch a day if they are troubled with their ears, and a pinch a month once they are sorted. For the record tho, vets hate the stuff having tried to get it off the market and failed. poor patchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheryl33 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Thanks Di I don't think its the Thornit either as that has stopped him shaking his head and stuff. I'm going to try sort a loan out and get these tests done its not fair on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegk68 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Re. Patchy, he had been locked in a crate, starved and left to lay down in his own urine and faeces . This is what has turned the fur on his legs orange. On Tuesday some kind local person found out about him and offered to take him off their hands ad got in contact with the rescue. Thank goodness they did as apparently he was close to death being very dehydrated and malnourished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
