A couple of the restaurants here serve pigeon, doesn't take my fancy

Did he use wood pigeon (I know that Gordon Ramsey cooked it once) or racing pigeon (as it were)??

I think he has some pigeons fly out of the big pie

Heston's Medieval Feast He is now cooking pigeon pie!

As this bird has been sold, the thread will now be locked

This topic will now be locked, as it is getting out of hand.

Out of respect of the loss of lives, this topic will now be locked, as this is not the place to discuss politics and religion.

This topic is going to be locked whilst I go through it again, genuinely missed this one. The start of the topic is interesting, fair enough, but please don't use it to insult other members. Could we not please have a discussion without resulting to insults and snide comments.

Once I've got the pigeon sorted, I'll have a read through, thank you all :)

For 5 year olds, you would be surprised at how bright they are. I've been with them since September and everytime they amaze me with what they can do! And they are very attentive, and they have had animals in the class before and loved it! It was only when their teacher mentioned if I have any pets, I thought about pigeons

I've got lots of photos of pigeons from the Blackpool and Dunoon Shows. And I'm going to take either a white or red/brown pigeon, that way its easier for them to differentiate from street pigeons

I help out in a P1 (5 year olds) class on Tuesday's and at the moment they are learning about pets, and I'm thinking of taking a pigeon into class and talking to them about pigeons, racing, etc What information do you think I should include? :)

If pm's have been sent to Richard or myself, they will be answered. At the moment we both have a back log due to being away and also from the last week or so, sorting out things for the presentation. Please be patient and we'll get round to them :)

I'll try my best to reply to all the issues raised on this thread, if I miss anything out or don't explain anything well its from fatigue (I'm replying to this at the moment because Richard has gone out to get us some dinner). 1. We have been away since Friday and got back to St Andrews about 30 mins ago, we have spent most of the weekend driving down and back from Bournemouth for the BICC/GDSBNFC Presentation Dinner, I think we drove about 1111 miles!! 2. So from all this driving and not really being in one place for too long, we haven't had time to check the forum or reply to pm's, or a decent internet connection to do so. So please be patient and we'll get round to replying to them. 3. Next issue - moderation, well its always an issue and you'll always have some members that aren't happy with a moderation decision. At the end of the day, we'll try our best to explain why or let members know why something have been removed. But when there are say 10 or more members involved, you could end up spending most of the day informing people etc... 4. Also with moderation, we wont always see every reply to every topic, there are some things that will slip through and be missed, this is why there is the report to moderator button. 5. Gangster - I left up one of snowy's threads (the birds wanted one), in hope that he might come back online and see the replies and maybe give us an answer. I realise that for all members the trophy situation is (can't really think of a word) disappointing, and we have all tried ringing to find out, either get no answer or some excuse. So this one for the moment, is going to be worked out until we find out what has happened. 6. The fund - as the fifer has already said there are currently 4 applications for the fund from the arson attacks over christmas and I think Richard may be waiting for the committee to check over the applications or something. 7. Money in the fund - if I remember rightly there is about £3,000 in the account (I'll have to check the exact numbers with Richard), so there is plenty for the current applications and maybe more. 8. Topping up the fund - at the moment I'm not sure what Richard wants to do about a sale, but one thing I can say is that there have been lots of good sales for charity recently on the forum, and this is really a great thing. So if Richard wants an auction to top up the fund, then he may get someone else to run it, but I'll check about this and Richard will let everyone know. 9. I think I've answered everything but may have missed something out, so I'll re-read the thread and if I disappear for a while I'll be eating my dinner :)

There has been a delay in adding links to the site (and generally in answering pms) because myself and Richard have been quite busy, and although I look after the links section, I've had to neglect for the past couple of months whilst I finish my degree. So once I'm getting round to tying up these loose ends.

It's caused by lots of spaces being put in and then text e.g. then starting to type

There are various pigeon racing groups on facebook too, Pigeonbasics has a fan page on there (search for pigeonbasics and it'll come up)

The issue with Ben, Dovescot and Chris Maidment shouldn't be discussed on here, yes the bird was sold on here but with Dovescot and Chris no longer members on here, it should be dealt directly with them, and there is no need to post up replies from other forums concerning this matter, so this just causes problems between members and is not the way to deal with things.

It doesn't matter if your the best or worst member, there's no need for creating bad feeling on the forum and to be honest there's enough bad feeling within pigeon racing as it is :-/

Asha has received warnings about his postings (as is the procedure) and his current postings are being looked through

It was locked because it was started to cause problems and there is no need to have a thread about who's the worst member
