are you trying to say that some people in shropshire are not to be trusted ;D and that they want to win at all costs, as victor meldrew said I dont believe it. ;D Telford show soon keep your hands in your pockets .their a rum lot around our end ;D

or call the L.D.V. look duck and vannish a bit like my young birds this year LDV dads army for the young lads on here ;D

we would all be interested in your views as thats what the sites all about,never mind the bullets,its the mine field we need to watch

well done great looking birds,have you always raced van reets or have you raced other familys and if so which ones ,are these your best family yet .just interested in what types work for some people .

great place shropshire ;)all kinds of things out there the other side of the wrekin waiting for you even the odd U.F.O. ;D

Had 30 never raced , had 30 left after trainning 40miles 3x p week.then it started lost some to a hawk some to a pole cat later found run over in the road.and some to a fox that got into the loft,got 20 left. came home last night and the fox was on the front lawn.thinks it is some kind of takeaway.the guns are comming tonight so that may be the end of him .or her .untill another one comes around.

top man J B. I knew somebody would know in the north east the mecca of G B raceing so it could be a good pigeon then ,only some days we shouldnt let me dad out alone ;D

in the blue square north :(better watching paint dry, ;D good show last year dampend due to defra and the bird flu scare,but still enjoyed it.will better this year even if it is only one day.unless we have a flu scare, credit crunch, and shilling for the electric.only 5 miles from me.

New .Only started this year ,joined a club bred some pigeons ,never raced due to bad weather ,birds not well,working on marking nights,lost a couple to a hawk, lost six to a fox, polecat got 2 , :(still got twenty for next year obs,...met some great people young and old ,gifted birds by the fancy,club members always helpful,never witnessed any bad feeling in the club same people in the first three each week,cant wait till next year.lots of ups and downs and a lot more to come,..Its a hobby to me not my life,if people upset me ill strap a pair on and theyd better do the same.thats not confrontational, its life in general .having fun homebird.

Thought about going to Jimmys sale and im glad his birds sold for a good price,well above me both price and my ability at the moment.So we went to the sale at Lostock of Haven lofts, not a lot of people there and I got 2 red hens Busschearts that come from a family of winners that have winning blood lines bred by the owner that have been developed scince 1978.paid £20.each, a working lads price that may breed a club winner.which will be a good start for me. I met the breeder a very nice gent with lots of experience and a winning loft,so time will tell if they are good for me ,but one things for sure im not goining to lose any sleep over them at the prices they cost, no pressure ,still fun and a hobby .good luck to all the buyers a jimmys sale it was a good cause

Good of you to give some time up to help others well done.

Glad it made you laugh :)pitty you where not there, it was like listening to the two old boys of the muppets. ;)plenty of material to make a sit com at our club meets.mind you that was a corker of yours telling the lad with the sick pigeon to go to church and pray ;D ;D

funny ,at the weekend i was listening to two older members at the club on this subject and one old boy said the other was blowing the whistle to get the birds in to the loft and the other said he would be better shoving it up his ar s for all the good it was doing ..only new to racing myself so still got an open mind on this one

sounds like your doing a great job yourself as for passing it on to another person,yes they may know more than you ?But the owner is responsilble for the welfare of his bird and the transport problem ,just playing on your good nature maybe :-/ anyway well done for being a careing animal lover.
