haha yes, that was funny lol

I am still sulking about that Muffy its a dam good book :-|


LMAO @ Eldrick you've still got it eh.. ;-)

Ha ha ...the worst one I got caught with was Hayley with her meercat book suggestion grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

i got caught out with the neighbours calling at 4am one, lol,

so today i thought na, ya not getting me today haha x

Hmmm, I'll ask him. Probably be fine with it, as long as you can find something smelly and disgusting for him to roll in every now and then.

*sniffs......wont get much roadkill down the Edgware Road...how is he on Halal? :-D

BC - I have a dog for you that has just won the world championship saddest spaniel eyes ever in the history of the world.

He was able to make 2 pit bulls and a rottweiller roll over and have their tummies tickled just by looking at them. And what a shiny coat - he gets two oil of evening primrose tablets every night. As well as some boiled roadkill I should add.

Hahaha - no arguments from me with anyone!

If anyone thinks that homeopathic remedies can do any harm, then look at it this way. They are now much wiser and better informed! So it's a win win situation for everyone.

Everyone has a different take on humour. I personally think that people in general are far too serious and need to chill out a bit more, but I dont say that it should be compulsory. I like to poke fun at things that I find amusing and it amuses me when people take things that are patently absurd so seriously.

I also think it's funny when people start to disect absurdity and treat it as if it was something serious. It tickles me :-)

I really do find it hard to believe that anyone could possibly in any way think I was being serious! And for anyone who thinks it is in bad taste, then whatever you do, dont watch Mock the Week! (or anything on Dave!)
:-D :-D

You know that Muffy, but the casual reader doesn't?

Now if Eldrick had said HE had accidentally taken the tablets, I wouldn't be bothered lol, but dogs react differently to humans..as you know... regarding eating certain things.( chocolate, fruit, potatoes,)

Oh well I obviously had a humour bypass today so I'll go back to bed till I feel better :-D

Call me a cynical old biddy who's been round the block a few times but one glance at the thread was enough to show it was a wind up. Firstly, Eldrick would not ask for help, he would deal with the situation. And, secondly, there is no way he would have those pills in his home never mind lying around!

*stern look at Eldrick. I trust this is not the dog with the sad eyes that you promised to me when my dog expires? Hmmm?

I was tepidly taken in but nagging in the back of my mind was *what's he doing with homeopathic pills in his house lolololol* ...........I'm not offended in the least. I quite enjoy that DOH moment when all is revealed...but then I'm like that ! x

.Another reason I was hesitant........is that he probably knows more about dogs than anyone I know ..if he was seriously worried about them he'd have them down the vets in a flash x

I'm not arguing with Eldrick, I think he made a rather thoughtless post, when normally he is quite funny ( not to say intelligent ) ...so is Jeremy Clarkson, so is Frankie Boyle... they too sometimes misjudge their 'audience' and offend accordingly, and sometimes it is done deliberately for effect...which is a bit immature imo... but I put it down to them having something in common... ;-)

The royal family talk to plants as well. Could that be why they are so well - or could it be the fact that they actually rely on real science and medicine - I note the Duke of Edinburgh didnt call a homeopath when he suffered his recent heart problem. He went to a real doctor and - amazingly - was fixed.

What would you prefer when you are lying in a tangled heap of smoking wreckage on the motorway - a siren and blue lights and someone saying - 'Here's the paramadics' or the screech of a ford fiestas tyres and someone shouting 'Let me through, I'm a homeopath!'

I know what I would like to hear! :-D :-D

I have no opinion on it either way Eldrick, and certainly don't put any stock in the reporting of the Mail lol, just happened to be the first thing that came up when I googled Arnica...I had heard of it long ago as a cream for bruises and sprains but not as tablets...so I was curious.

Come on, RR, The Daily Mail is hardly the Lancet. In fact, Ernst emphatically denies that the results of Beveniste experiment were positive. They were later shown to be wrong, unequivocally and emphatically. That they were wrong is not disputed by anyone in the scientific community anywhere in the world. (I can only assume that this is the source of the quote in the DM) http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2002/homeopathy.shtml

Ernst is totally misquoted - it is the Daily Mail, after all. Reaf 'Trick or Treatment' by Ernst and SIngh. All you ever wanted to know about quack medicine!

As to homeopathy I have no feelings either way - however I have known that the Royal Family have practised this for many generations - going back as far as Queen Adelaide I believe.

Looking at the work load the Queen and Prince Philip still carry out at the ages of 85 and 90 I wish I too had known of it many years ago.

Eldrick being him,and poking fun....

I knew he wasnt being serious,,,,as I know full well had anything of the kind happened and it spelled danger ,he would be fighting his way to a vets not sitting at a computer,,,,,,despite his old mans ramblings :-D :-D :-D ;-),,,he is an animal lover.....domestic or wild, soppy s**.

"Aw, come on. This is Eldrick. Surely, no-one took it seriously? "

So if I am to take nothing that Eldrick says seriously then I must discount his sensible and reasoned thoughts on other matters?
Pity.

Sorry, sitting here giggling to myself !

If anyone neds proof that homeopathy is a con, this must be it !

However, our dog swears by acupuncture.

"Even Professor Ernst concedes the study does not necessarily discount arnica or the effectiveness of homeopathy. Laboratory tests, he says, have found that ultra-dilute homeopathic remedies do induce a response in immune cells.
He also admits that similar dilutions have significant effects on animals, which cannot 'will themselves better' to cause a placebo effect."
