Fair Play

The wee sheriff of Carlton Creek along with his horse El Fidelo (Wee Elfie) and The Govan ferry/fairy, Fairy Nuff with the tackety boots we used to fight for the paper he was an institution along with his creator Bud Neill, that brought back happy memories.

It's amazing what goes on behind closed doors :B :B

Nae fun noo Alf

Ration books,long queues collecting "Walks" getting the sledge out (Got snow then) in the winter to go to the coal depot in the next village and haul it round the river. The hot unsliced bread from the local Co-op (half eaten before you got home. Rabbit stew,Salmon all poached locally,we had a garden and grew our own veg,porridge for breakfast no rice krispies then ate all the things that now are considered bad for you and food had a taste so different from the stuff they serve us now. Sugar came in brown paper bags butter in waxed paper broken biscuits and chipped fruit were luxuries and the Beano, Dandy,Adventure, Hotspur,Rover and Wizard and then the Eagle brought us into space travel with Dan Dare, Digby,Sondar (The Treen) and the evil "Wee Mekon" Flash Gordon,Frank Buck (Bring them back alive) aye good old days ;)

Forecast for the South coast of England was heavy rain this morning wonder how this will effect the liberation's from France over the weekend

Roy Wood -

Started with 50 opened up for the first time and was 26 short, 7 have made their way back - where are the others all have telephone number rings,so who knows where they go. Lost one last year, away for three months came back and was the best bird to the loft as a yearling flew her out to Leicester

I think that post to numpty 1 is totally negative and out of order - why because he had the audacity to make a statement of fact all organisations should be transparent look at the furore with the expenses scandal in government and everyone keeps asking why the RPRA is not more transparent today its the "name of the game" not that I infer there is anything shady going on it's just that if people are involved they have an entitlement to know who the committee is and who is accountable for what. I still think it is an excellent idea and more power to it but let us know what is happening not just on a "Need to know basis" Once againg "Good Luck"

Reg Renwick Auctioneer - 01915844988 - mob 07831364090 got it off an old auction

Not so long ago they used to come to Glasgow by plane to do shopping because it was cheaper to shop here - How much for a beer or bottle of spirits.

It was reported that some time back a gentleman of Far Eastern persuasion had paid a World record for a bird by private treaty

;D ;D ;D

On the 20th of May I sent off two different sets of transfers to the SHU along with a cheque for £3.00 I received one back and emailed them to find out what had happened to the other received an automated reply but still no transfer that was on the 4/6/2009. If I dont at least get my money back I will contact the bank to see what recourse I have,not a lot of money it's the principal maybe they think they are part of the Government and "Steal" the publics cash

Gibbs of Galston have it phone them up and ask for the nearest supplier

Not only are there "National" birds racing there are also the Fed birds a lot of which will not be able to complete the Fed program but I agree with letting the birds away as I would rather have them flying than confined to a crate from Thursday until Monday even Tuesday The controller made a decision based on current information and rightly or wrongly he tried to give the birds an even chance. North of Scotland last week scorching sunshine this week snowmen that's the "British" weather for you. :(

Leven Valley - Sun is out but very windy and cold.

To throw in the old chestnut "mid day liberations for channel races" then they all have a night on the tiles ;)

It was pouring down in the Vale at 5-30pm then the sun came out gave us a wink then pissed off again followed by more rain

Ally - hope nobody sees you taking it for a walk you will have to wait until it's dark ;D ;D

GB07S95274 - Bonnybridge HS Mr V Couper 01324- 815440 Maybe late but better late than never

Maybe he couldn't find the "Vale" ;D ;D ;D ;D

Congrats to both of you - Hope the new wife likes pigeons

The mid field just did not turn up

We (Glasgow) were at Newark last week 4 back from 5 yearlings agree with what you said about the birds being thirsty one hen just walked about the top of the loft drinking water as it fell but felt it was a fairly good race. One hen jumped in at 250miles never been in a race, late, but felt it was encouraging for next year. Swithering what to do for Leicester BBC weather on TV forecast really hot for the weekend 22-25 up our end so make sure the drinkers are full
