i agree whole heartedly, to many to mention, like you say just check the results over the years john

i agree boxing authorities generaly try not to get to involved unless its an open n shut case, the rematch when it happens will probably be in las vegas, bigger purses to be filled there , khans & petersons styles of boxing pretty much pointed the way to an ugly fight, khan relies on speed and controling the centre of the ring while peterson is a much more in your face brawler coming at you all the time, the points that khan had deducted from him proved costly in the end, but well done to peterson he seized his opportunity now he calls the shots & khan will just have to bide his time for now john

Arther sutherland. its sadens me to report to the fancy the passing of arther sutherland ( orkney ) on the 30th of december. arther unfortunately gave the birds up a fews years ago due to health problems, he raced his birds in the orkney club part of the highlands & islands federation, i was privileged enough to know arther through being married to his neice and when he gave the birds up i was gifted some of his birds to which i have still some in the loft. even after the birds were gone he would be on the fone offering his advice and always txt or foned at the weekends to see how i got on at the race. he fought his illness bravely rite to the end, he was one of the best , his funeral will take place on saturday the 7th of january in the cathedral in kirkwall my sincere condolences go to his wife karen and daughter kacey at this sad time R.I.P my friend john

Happy birthday folks, have a good one john

Happy birthday pps and a happy new year, enjoy john

HAHAHAHA AYE ITS GOOD TAE DREAM John

70 knot winds here, westerly heavy rain -2 degrees visibility poor less than 2 miles north sea, 135 miles east of aberdeen?? john

further to my reply, supply vessels tend not to have a problem shipping pigeons to dry land but in many cases the vessel could be many days before reaching port and that in a lot of cases is the difference between life and death for our pigeons?? where as the helicopter takes between one & three hours depending on where the rig is situated, makes all the difference!!! john

ive been offshore for the last 24 years ish in the north sea and believe me there are almost every kind of birds of prey out there , from sea eagles to owls hawks falcon and some i didnt even knew existed, you tend to see more raptors during migration periods, literaly remains of birds everywhere and our racing pigeons take a fair hammering to, the most annoying thing about the situation there is if a bird of prey gets picked up injured offshore they are tripping over themselves to get the bird back to dry land and they get their names up in lights !!! you manage to get a racing pigeon and its a whole different ball game they would rather dispose of the bird and the famous last words you hear is that the owner wouldnt want the pigeon back and he or she will have its neck broken, boy it makes my blood boil. our governing bodies i think should be in contact with the various oil & gas operators and drilling contractors and the helicopter companies to have the pigeons returned to shore, there are a few pilots who dont mind but the majority wont wear it but it seems to be different rules for our raptors john

patty, its not buckie & district rpc i can safely say that!! haha must be some big clubs in the central belt area?? john

cheers pal john

i was jist gan tae look out the kite, ats about the only thing we can do jist now!! haha well surfing to?? al surf the net instead?? haha
