Good idea if she will have us. The Saturday night about 8pm 'ish wouldn't interfere with our doo activities too much i wouldn't think.

Has anyone organised a wee shindig for Basics members when we are at Blackpool? Or does anyone know where we could have one? It would be nice to meet others for the first time in the flesh

Pity, 2 nice Ck's there,

What its Sire or G/sire have sold for, or done, it should not influence your decision. In your shoes, if i thought i had some decent birds in my loft at the moment i would Dispose of the bird. If i thought my team Wasn't up to much, i Might hang onto it and take a chance with a couple of pairs out of it with a decent hen, my thinking being it can't do any harm, for all the good it might do!! Either way i wouldn't race it, as i would never put pool money onto a bird that had went into another fanciers loft, because as soon as the going gets tough it will go into the nearest loft available. jmo If i could choose, the first option would be my preference,

Gonna keep the festive theme going and split a bottle of The Glenlivet with ma mate. Canny decide whether to flatten it early or wait 'til the night, fancy it could be an early one so i'll apologise the now for ma comments later on

That's as fair as it gets

My Warmest congratulations to you and Carol, and i hope mum and baby are home soon. I'll be sure to toast you when i have a wee Malt later Billy.

Full house at ma wee Mam's the day. About 26 for dinner and probably another 20 coming and going later on. Have a nice day where ever you go, i know i will.

I would just like to add my best wishes to ALL members and i hope 2011 brings you happiness and contentment. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I get a generous fuel allowance from ma work so it'll no get me too upset. Mind you i would happily do a go slow on the major roads in protest at the prices, if such a thing was organised, because we drivers are a soft touch and have been for successive governments.

Canny see any reference to it Charlie.

Aye they are £6 each day, its in the BHW.

I've been wondering what will happen in the event of a draw?? Or more precisely how will a winner be chosen. To combat this we could have 2 votes each and the doo with most 2nd choice votes would win. Fanciers who enter birds would only be allowed to vote for 1 of their own and 1 other bird. Just an Idea.

Pen. 9. Photo doesn't help it any, but its a topper.

Wee Eddie crawed me by touching ma ticket, terrible the lengths jealousy will drive some men to

The hospitality of the members was appreciated, and the company and crack over the weeks was great. I would just say i think there should be 2 raffle prizes every week cos i buy 2 tickets

I was disappointed with my yearlings this year, although i'm left with pretty much the best of what i had, they did not perform well at all for me. To try to rectify this i am pairing my birds later (mid/end) February and keeping the Yb's natural. Yb results are not so important to me so i will not lose out in that respect, but will Hopefully benefit with a better team of yearlings in 2012. I am otherwise delighted with my 2010 season as i scored in every National and Fed Open race that i entered and the birds paid for their own upkeep

I do this annually and as has been said, you really are looking for something within 3 days of the eggs you want to float. I've seen me struggle to catch an odd pair, when this happens i usually find that a 3-way swap is available. Out of the 3 pairs you still only lose 1 pair of eggs. In your case you might find another pair you WANT to keep would be ideal to catch the stock eggs, the eggs from this nest would then be placed under the original foster parents you were hoping to use for the stock pairs eggs. There you are Clear As Mud !!! If you work this out you'll have no problems keeping accurate notes of the changes

If i keep going the way i am i hope to be 30 in about 2 years, 3 tops

Thanks for the good wishes guy's, i'm working until 7 tonight too!!

Got ma self a Sony DSCW320.CEH14.1 MP Compact Digital Camera. If i'm to believe the info on it, it'll take photo's its self and crop them down to size without help for posting on site The Anti-Blur function it says it has appealed to me as i'm no too clever at taking pics. Cheers for the help and reply's lads.

I've got a discrepancy on ma winning tickets with a doos Ring No. Its an Irish Number, IHU 00 ****** its no ma doo Charlie so i'll bring what i remember got tickets and see if we can sort it out between us the Morra Night. I'll bring the tickets with me.

Cheers John, i'm flitting in and out of sales sites looking at them, i'll look up Sony the now.

Its Ne'r Day, a good Malt, you've made enough off the 3 stoogies to buy wan nae bother
