Fair Play

What is the difference between Easibed and Hemcore My neighbour preferes the Hemcore as it breaks down quicker in her compost bin - got to keep the neighbours happy ;D ;D ;D

Commercialism tends to be at the expense of quality not saying all birds are bad but the number of birds from the continent and the UK By the law of averages there "should" be a few good ones. On reading the postings from our members the quality of some of the birds at Blackpool seems to have been a bit suspect, dead birds, sick birds and generally poor quality in some cases. The auction sites post birds from famous lofts but on checking they have been brought in from other sources this in my humble opinion is just "PURE COMMERCIALISM" at the expense of the fancier (if you rise to the bait), ie famous name

Paulo There were two yellow hens for sale on pigeon basics B & NL rung no pedigree for one looked nice enough birds seller says the were Vandies

A big smile on Tammy's face now - cracking result

Have you ever thought the BHW show of the year has outgrown the Winter Gardens or Blackpool in general?

How much are they Bart

I had the same problem of Ebay they were using mine to sell tv's

You will learn a lot more by just sitting watching your birds the bird will tell you all you want to know theories are what they are speculation without proof. Ps just in case anyone asks I don't know pigeon English

Nice work just wish I had the expertise

A round of buckshot up the backside could be the answer they will rue it everytime they sit or try to sit down

Vampires thrive on new blood why can't pigeon racing do the same

Me - nobody is above the law and ignorance of it is no excuse - try telling the judge you didn't know

Pigeon racing needs all the young blood it can get and if true the fact the meeting was alleged to have been held in a pub automatically bars anyone under the age of 18 after a certain time and especially if alcohol is being served so maybe the meeting could be deemed unconstitutional especially where lottery funding is concerned. A local club (not pigeon club) bars female s from being full members so are automatically barred from lottery funding or council grants. Surely a kid of 11 doesn't have a criminal record and if he did would it not be nice for the members to try and help him just like the members do on this site.

I was under the impression the draw was on the 16th - delivered to blackpool :-/

Jap van Alphen was selling some on Elimar there was one I remember was bred down from Black Giant great grand daughter may be too far out but didn't sell at £50 as i can remember

Some cracking birds on his site whether or not I could afford them is a different story :-/

e-bay 130 lengths of 3/4" X 4-1/4" X 10-00' for the grand total of $40.00 It's out there just the case of looking

:'( :'( :'(

Never got my BHW either, had to read the usual depressing news in the papers :'(

Does this post carry an X-certificate ;D ;D ;D

I was going but a stint in hospital has put paid to that - all the best to all that are going and hope you enjoy it and get what you are looking for

Good idea Aberdeen should also help to make it a bit cheaper if the transporters are full and the birds a better chance to make it home with the greater numbers. There used to be three Nat. races Avranches (Falaise) Rennes & Nantes plus Fed & or Combine races

You are dead right Tammy but most would rather obtain them for free :B :B :B

I see most of Tayside was without electricity hope you are well stocked up with batteries to get down to check out any damage at the lofts
