As all will know this will be our first race with our new lorry so with everyones assistance and patience any potential problems/delays can be overcome. first message Saturday 10am and now may i wish all good flying for 2015

expletive remove one of the funniest ever

100% record against newco :crying:

Grange hall and it was fkn freezing , it was ok for him up the ladder cos he was working,all the portraits of the dignitaries had one thing in common_____ one eye each

Tried to explain that one to Jed today but gave up!! Possible he might get it now

sure he aged 5 years looking after Mr Maskame at blackpool :crying:

Bet you are not :crying: PMSL

And I thought they were Belgian,not another guy with secrets harry

Aye but they were the real deal!!

There's a blast from the past,you still racing?

, Which ones would be seen as the most over hyped and underperforming?

over the years there have been many new strains that were heralded by studs, enthusiasts or people in the know :blush: how many can you remember??

I would class 4 firsts as being 4 individual firsts from 4 different races

amazing !! yes it is attitude-- yours !! never once questioned your opinion or right to express it, why you have to turn it into something personal is beyond me :emoticon-0179-headbang:

you want an even playing field? its within your grasp !! win a 5 bird club and you have got your ideal, the prestige of competing and winning in as even a playing field as possible, all we need is someone to run it!! are you that man?

with a 5 bird club members would still be able to compete with the team size of their choice and just duplicate their chosen 5 into a 5 bird club which would achieve your aim of a fairer playing field !! the paperwork would be accepting entries from all clubs and formulating a result-- you up for it?

can see problems arising from your suggestion as you may encourage members to send or keep less birds which in turn will hasten the demise of the sport, surely a 2,3,or 5 bird club would be a better solution and i for one would be up for it !! you up for some paperwork? i will race control them if you do the rest :emoticon-0140-rofl:

no 11 for me
