LOL. In reply to that, I am extremely grateful that the male equivalent of camel toe is not a thing on race day. I personally am not a fan of either gender version.

Thank you Sir. I have learned much in the last two days and had a laugh during the process. You probably weren't around in the 60's and 70's to remember the stovepipes and bellbottom/flares. We had it all going on back then. That is when the "wedgy", the "camel-toe", the muffin-top, and the "bulge" were invented. Polyester was also a thing, not a good thing. To put on a pair of pants required lying on a bed and wriggling into them. Removing them required help from the local firebrigade or you risked concussion as you fell about the room wrestling with your pants. As a young male back then I foolishly followed the fashion of the day. These pants should have been called "Guantanamo's' due to there torturous nature. There was no room in these pants for male genitalia, none. You spent your entire day shifting your bits to achieve some sort of respite. If you were a testosterone filled male, any involuntary excitement in public could be extemely embarrassing and painful. It astounds me that any male of that era managed to father children due to circulatory issues and the fact it took so long to get your pants off. Fastforward fifty years and we have the "skinny" pants, bellbottoms without the bell. Due to modern day stretch fabric this revamped version is not devoid of issues. They like their predessor leave little room for imagination hence the revival of the camel-toe etc. Unfortunately, the stretch also exaggerates that which should probably remain hidden. Like the bellbottom these pants were designed to fit a boyish figure devoid of curve. Well suited or not, we are prone to follow the fashion of the day. I will leave the sock enhancement thing for another day. The photo below illustrates my post. The band is "Cream", featuring Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and recently deceased Ginger Baker (RIP).

Funny. Even funnier is this ad that appeared below for Knobbies, new post coming maybe? Grin. Seems google is also following this thread?

Quite possibly, but not today. I am perplexed, you like comments about masturbation, had no issue with accusations of infidelity, didn't blink an eye when anothers reputation was attacked, but talk about camel toe and you feel compelled to comment. I will not lose any sleep over your indignation. Most will see the humour and that is what was intended.

As it's the school holidays and I have some spare time I thought I might continue on with yesterday's informative post on "camel toe". I went back to everyones friend Mr Goggle and found a wealth of information on the subject. My wife still laughing has encouraged me to share. Camel toe affects all women, fat, thin, short, tall, young or old. While there are women who see this phenomenon as an asset there are equally those who see it as a curse and embarrassment. Many men also find the look distasteful, one particular quote made me giggle, "Nothing worse than seeing a random woman flashing a second pair of lips, hideous!" Yesterday I brought you the labia enhancer so it's only fair that today's lesson should be about elimination, concealment. There are a mindboggling array of camel toe concealers on the market. Even the Kardashians have a product called the "Cuchini", a very clever name. Grin. Rachel Ray featured a concealer called the "Braza' on day time TV, and as SICK OF IT vertually accused members of harming her daughter's well being I think this video is an appropriate share. Camel toe can be concealed or enhanced depending on your point of view, the choice is yours. Happy lip syncing all.

Maybe greyhound racing should look to eliminate people like yourself from the sport, that would definitely improve the image we see. Your posts and that of your alter-ego are trash.

Neither did I. I had to google my wife's information because I actually thought she was having me on. But no, it's a thing.

My wife thought your comment was hilarious and this is why. Camel toe or cameltoe by definition is, "an effect created by a pair of trousers or shorts that fit very tightly around a woman's groin, so drawing attention to the shape of the external genitals." The appearance of camel toe has very little to do with the amount of fat a woman carries or body shape, it is all to do with garment tighness and the stretch of the fabric. Either the woman is wearing ill fitting clothing or she is deliberately drawing attention to her genitals. My wife tells me that the later is a thing as some women believe camel toe makes them more attractive to the opposite sex. She also told me women buy undies with accentuated labia to complement their existing genitals. She is still laughing by the way. I have no idea who you people are talking about, but I will say this, if she is seeking attention, she got it. If not, maybe wear a size up or change the style of trousers. As for your children, if you are letting them read this forum, then they should be removed from your care.

The recent governance review would probably support Four Shaw's point of view. The purchase of buckets so that "he who is warned off" can pick up after his dogs on roadside is a good example of going that extra mile don't you think? Hopefully with the right guidance the situation can be remedied. The deeply divided membership would appreciate the help.

Great post Courtney. Firstly I would like to say Paul and his team have down a fantastic job at the Palmy club and my trainer has nothing but praise for the work they have put in, and the benefits returned to their members. For the membership fee you get free no hassle trials, free lunch once a month, a team that works hard to promote greyhound racing both locally and nationally. A team that acts quickly to remedy issues as they arise. Governance that listens to member concerns, makes changes when necessary and possible, then reports back. A team that keeps members informed on all fronts, holds meetings on race days to get member feedback and approval for nearly all new proposals. No issues with transparency. A team that manage staff well. On the flipside, Wanganui's recent report card was scathing. A governance review order, hahaha, nothing to be proud of there. The list of complaints flowed faster than Huka Falls. Any change has to be better than the litigation prone, one-eyed cowboys presently running the show. Today's fiasco just one of a sad series, every episode avoidable. Paul and Angela work as a team sharing the load. That's what partners do. To insinuate she is a pseudo trainer is a joke especially given Wanganui's alignment with a trainer who truly is. Good luck to you Paul, if you are working with the existing board you will need it. Might also need a sharp pair of scissors to cut the puppets strings in order to move forward in a timely manner. And best wishes to you Courtney, your post was well written and thought through.

Grow up!

Excuse me, I suggested nothing. I asked a legitimate question. There are many reasons why a supposedly healthy human may suffer a heart attack, fatal or not. The causes and contributing factors are many. Health professionals endeavour to ascertain the exact cause if possible. Only then can they format a plan to reduce risk and incidence. I doubt they ever just shrug their collective shoulders and utter the word buggar. Why is that attitude acceptable here? Could this death have been prevented? Employ some commonsense of your own. Deaths need to be investigated fully, other lives could be saved.

Can someone knowledgeable on this subject please explain why a fit, young, healthy dog would suffer a heart attack at the lure? Some documented referencing would be helpful so that a layperson can fully understand this anomoly. Can someone knowledgeable please also explain why the cause of the heart attack was not included in the report? Thank you.

Totally agree with the limited licence model although I would set that max of 40. Also agree, most support Australian based sires which is hypocritical from those who wish to see imported race dogs banned.

You sir/madam are without doubt mentally challenged. There will be no world record, it has been done before. There will be no world record because the kennel will likely be shut down after December. There is no prestige while racing under a live baiting cloud, only shame. There is absolutely no benefit to the industry in achieving that goal.

I have been following the other two codes and their many commentators. Rehoming and welfare are high priority issues. In thoroughbreds, the breeding export dollar is keeping many trainer/breeders/owners a float. To remove that option would be suicidal. The GRNZ have no choice but to place restrictions on current levels of breeding under the new RITA regime and Mesara recommendations. They commited to do so. Imports are capped, the number imported each year is finite. Dodgy dogs seem to be your issue yet not once have you published the stats to prove that the percentage of imported offenders is greater than the percentage of NZ bred offenders. I would like to see those numbers. Legally I do not believe the GRNZ can prevent the importation of greys hence the increased import levy attempt rather than a ban. But, they could place an embargo on ticketed dogs. There are those who believe imports should be banned because they take revenue away from locally breds. That thinking is flawed and negates the contribution imports make to NZ breeding. This industry is built on imports and imported semen, without them it simply would never have got of the ground. Protectionism is counter productive. The industry needs owners, and owners should have a level of choice. It is not the finite number of imports that are causing the major issue here, it is the out of control level of local breeding. It is the saturation model that is at fault. Unless the out of control breeders are forced to pull their heads in, the future is bleak. Those that believe winning 10 out of 12 races from 600 dogs bred are idiots. From a welfare perspective those numbers are tragic. How many of those dogs will be rehomed? How many of those broods will make it to a couch? The GRNZ need to move on this, and move fast. By all means, ban the importation of ticketed dogs, but sort the local shit out first.

Joy, there is no one living who believes Dennis was directly responsible for his kennel positive. However, as the trainer he is indirectly ultimately responsible. Yankiwi is NOT defending Dennis just pointing out that the RIU set a precedent in his case and that precedent should be applied in all future cases involving the same drug category. That unfortunately appears not to be the case and so the actions surrounding this latest positive creates a perception of inequality, bias. Without doubt the fastest way to piss off participant. Definition of Precedent: "An earlier event or action that is regarded as an example or guide to be considered in subsequent similar circumstances." The RIU must act in a consistent manner when investigating charges brought. Inconsistency is the number one reason cited by participants when referring to a collective lack of faith. Unlike Yankiwi I personally believe the Duganzich case should have been treated the same, the drug was officially listed in Category 1.

Regardless, his departure doesn't instill confidence among participants. Apart from a very small handful of staff, the last year has seen a complete changing of the guard. Given that the next twelve months will see major instability, litigation, new governance from the top, and now the code being run by newbies complete with "L" plates, I sit firmly on the skeptical benches. For those of you racing expect to see yet another period of discontent. Glenda dubbed "The Fixer" failed in her last job, has too many fingers in other pies, and has affectively taken on a demotion. Who will be her Tonto?

Are you being deliberately obtuse or are you just incapable of comprehension? He was found guilty, he actually admitted he was guilty. The evidence was irrefutable. I believe the "Snake" just got done $4900 plus legal fees of around $5000. Keep it up, his arrogance will cost him dearly.

Reading through the JCA transcript three things stick out. (15) We did not find Mr Cole to be a reliable or credible witness. He was evasive at times, when it suited his purpose, and inconsistent in his explanations of certain facts and beliefs. (27) We find that Mr Cole, upon being warned off, immediately sought to find a way to subvert and ignore the requirement of the notice. (30) Mr Cole has exhibited no remorse or genuine appreciation of his actions.

False bravado in that case. The strain on their faces has been evident for sometime. If the latest incident is to be believed, another screw has tightened on the coffin. When the trial momentum builds you won't see Rockit for dust. Have no idea why they would bother to engage on this forum.

The Inca case is set down for the 11th of December. The Cole pre-trial hearing is scheduled for the 13th of December. For those that don't know what a pretrial hearing is: "The defence and the prosecution jointly file a “Case Management Memorandum” with the court, and the court registrar considers whether this memorandum raises issues that need to go before a judge before the trial. If not, then on the case review date the registrar simply adjourns the case to the trial date or, if there’s to be jury trial, until a “jury trial callover”." Note: This is a crown prosecution case, if proven, jail time is highly likely.

Who is the new kennel manager?

Here's a thought, why not just start a positive thread instead of doing exactly what you say you dislike? Or, maybe start your own forum which you could then control, but be warned, it won't last a month. Forums are about opinion often on subjects that impact all participants. Like it or not posters have a right to voice their concerns. It definitely beats confrontation at the track. I either agree or disagree with what is written, and a conversation is had. If the conversation is civil, I have no issue. As for attracting new people, the media circus that is about to ensue will definitely increase the sports following and not in a positive way. Whats your plan to counter that?
