I used to do joinery works for a lovely man at his house he was deaf with all the shells the germans fired at him He was a lieutenant colonel and after the war was responsible for starting the Edinburgh military tattoo He offered to teach me to lip read wish I had taken him up on that would have known then what people were saying about me down the pub lol
Well done lads and lassies Envy you all being able to race midweek We used to have an anglo Scottish midweek club Gretna Carlisle lads birds used to home into Gretna about 6pm mine into moffat 40-45 minutes later it was great experience for my yearlings probably sometimes flying the last 50 mls on their own When I retire shortly think i'll do something like that only take birds I can beat tho lol
Lost mine with not using ear defenders at work Nail guns building houses New hearing aids I got a great Also loop system for tv is bees Knees lol Got to agree people who mumble are worst its not the deaf who need educated

Agree 100% My birds will go to their first race this weekend 140 miles temperatures to be in double figures The weather leading up to racing was horrendous with snow and bitter cold temperatures For those who trained it was suicidal for the birds The east wind last few days has been bitter at ground level never mind altitude even morning frosts Started birds late last year and they flew excellent right through to 500 mls The losses in the federation already have been shocking The seasons have changed fanciers should follow suit (but they wont) You make your own decisions in this sport No one else to blame but the man in the mirror One thing I have learned over the years is birds put out in these conditions early on wont be at the top of the table come the business end of the season
