Funny you should say that, yes they are almost pure white. We only want to keep 4 pairs as we now have Irish tumblers as well, and as you may guess again, yes they are white ;D ;D ;D

I have some Birmingham rollers you can have if you organise the courier Here is a kit box that belongs to one of our friends, just needs a bit more ventilation, we plan to make one similar but better

You can take the boy out the country but you will never take the country out the boy ;D I don't don't know we have see some black faced ewes roaming the streets late at night ;D

I sing to mine every day and the don't seem to mind

We will be there, not booked up yet but we have provisionaly booked same hotel as 2009, we hope to see you there We are doing great thanks

Well done, at least the sheep will be getting peach at the moment ;D

Nice lofts

Came in earlier, a bit tired and hungry but in good condition, anyone from the site knows who's bird it is. I will contact the SHU tomorrow

Don't you start

I just enjoy them although the scraping and cleaning does get a bit much at times. Regards tameness of the birds, one of the top fliers in Edinburgh that we know well has them extremely tame. I find my birds are tame to me more that other people, I can go in the loft and they don't bat an eyelid but when ###### goes in they keep out his way W will enjoy the racing as we have been at other fanciers houses on race day and it is a buzz seeing them come home and a bonus if they are winners, if not we shall still keep them no matter what

How dare you speak about my babies like that, it would be like cannibalism

Once we get organised and ###### gets the loft altered for trapping we will try our best if not we will enjoy them all the same

That can happen to the best of stock :-/

What makes you think they are fantails? All birds tails fan out to some degree and taking them 20 mile they would have as much chance as coming home as any JMO

Thank you, I was taught well and they are all our own birds OOPS!!! I missed a few ;D

Depends what you call fantails Indian, absolutely useless, if they go a few gardens away they are lost ;D Exhibition,absolutely useless, if they go a few gardens away they are lost ;D Garden, a bit better, they normally stay in site of the loft or cote Standard, a lot better, I have given/sold some to people and they have returned 30 -50 miles from us, we got one when we first started from lithgi lad, kept it in three weeks and it went back, kept it in for another six weeks and it still went back ;D Homers, the only difference between a homer and a racer is the racer is trained and bred to come home quicker, sadly this is not always the case German beauty homer Homer or straight tail Racer. I hope ;D

No really ;D ;D ;D

That's one where size does count ;D

It's because of all the drama, a bit like Eastenders ;D ;D ;D

I can safely say that Duncan has never threatened to assault anyone let alone threaten their lives. Anyone that knows him and met him from all walks of life including the Internet knows he does not work that way, he thinks threats are foolish if you plan to do anything other than just that He has never said anything about this but I am sure the member in question knows the truth behind the allegations as does Duncan Duncan was banned two days after the threatening PMs made to him :-/

###### he who cannot be mentioned was threatened with his life and assault, yet the offender is still on the site. I don't know who it was as but ###### says he is still a member. ###### was banned before anything could be done about it I have posted this before and it was deleted :-/

I hope Roland and all the others pursue what they think is the best way to fight the cause. If I think something is right I will support it if I don't I won't, what can be more simpler than that. Surely we are all members of a forum with the right to have an opinion and a good debate about matters. Sadly clashes in personality have set in and I think they are all as bad as each other I just want to stop or at least minimise this happening to my birds and I don't care who helps in achieving this

Thanks Scoobybob, I think we are all right, what is wrong is the way we are all going about it, bickering over who has the biggest balls on the playing field, who is in goals and who is the best manager, what the team will be called and I'm no playing with him attitude. In my short time in racing pigeons I have never seen so much bitching between grown men at all levels. Half of them wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit them on the *expletive removed* ;D I have met some great people in pigeon fancying and made some true friends but I have also met some back stabbing, two faced, childish people along the way. It is an individual sport/hobby that is full of individuals that don't need team work or loyalty to fellow members to participate so it leaves room for the I'm alright Jack mentality

Yes Mav, no Mav, three bags full of sh** Mav, remeber the waiter at Blackpool when you were touching your feminine side a bit too much for my liking ;D ;D ;D

Correct, the sooner you all realise that women are superior to you meer mortal men the better, you mind and get the coke for the vodie and ma jammie dodgers ;D And a burger or six for ######
