Anything to give the french a helping HAND :X ;D ;D

One morning a Scotsman is having breakfast in Paris (coffee, croissants, bread, butter and marmalade) when a frenchman, chewing bubble gum, sits down beside him. The scotsman ignores the frenchman who nevertheless starts a conversation.. Frenchman: "You Scots eat the whole bread?" Scotsman (in a bad mood): "of course" Frenchman: (after blowing a huge bubble) "We don't, In France we only eat whats inside, the crusts we collect in a container, recycle them, transform them into croissants and sell them to Scotland" The Frenchman has a smirk on his face. The scotsman listens in silence The frenchman persists: "Do you eat marmalade with your bread?" Scotsman : "Of course" Frenchman : (chewing his bubble gum and chuckling) "We don't, in France we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds and leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform them into marmalade and sell them to Scotland" After a moment of silence, the scotsman asks : "Do you have sex in France?" Frenchman : " Why of course we do" he says with a big smirk on his face. Scotsman : "And what do you do with the condoms once you've used them?" Frenchman : "We throw them away, of course" Scotsman : "We don't. In Scotland, we put them into containers, recycle them, melt them down into bubble gum and sell them to the french"

deffo off to bed now, just refilled the empty litre bottle of bacardi with water ;D the wife will be none the wiser if she decides to check in the morning I'll blame the bloodshot eyes on birdflu ;D ;D ;D ;D :X

I'm off to bed now, goodnight oldyellow and blackswan, the only others online at the minute. Tell me are you just out of bed or are you like me, just heading for bed ;D :X

I'll be there hopefully

All birds would be fresher the next morning to carry on their way home and therefore better returns surely for all concerned. Let's face it, the chances of getting perfect weather to enable pigeons to fly the whole day are very rare, so there are more often than not going to be birds that are shut out. JMO

What's your thoughts Walter on midday liberations with the national when all birds have to night out?

Alencon - 632 mls Falaise - 601 mls Ypres - 498mls

Don't know about pulling the finger out, but one thing for sure is we're not frightened of 600 - 700 miles here and more importantly not frightened of an empty clock. I sent to all 4 channel races this year and managed to get in the section prizes in 3 of them, not up to Jims standards but I would wager that's Jim's record in the North section will never be beaten.

Normaly 2 or 3 to the 700 mile race and a max of 6 or 7 to the 600 mile races.

snap ;)

All channel races apart from Ypres are 600+miles to me, which makes it very, very difficult but this has got to be the aim of every distance fancier, to compete at 600+miles. I'm not scared of an empty clock cos I know full well that one good clock in wipes away all the no shows. There a quite a few excellent 500mile pigeons but 600mile pigeons are a different beast altogether. jmo.

Took the words out of my mouth, except we can't win the west section, so will have to make do with the North section

Never seen him after I gave him your room number ;) ;D ;D

It was a great night Derek, I eventually made it to my bed at 5.30a.m :X :X ;D Was up at 9am for the brekkie, one of our guys couldn,t handle his fry up, so it ended up on my and Alex Wight's plates. Company was great and the reception I got when collecting my trophies was very much apprecited. Hat's off to Joe Murphy for the effort he puts in to this event, brilliant

Happy birthday Alan, you must be getting near the age to start thinking about an appointment with me :X

Our youngest member is 23 then 1 at 26? 1 at 38, 1 at 40, 2 in their early 40's with the other 10 or so ranging between 50 and 65

Bang on Davy

Our club hasnae had a dance for a long time . Secretary delivers our trophies in a box. When we mention a presentation, most of our members aren't interested :-/ Surely one night a year isn't much to ask. After the last young bird race you won't see some of our members until the first race the following year :-/

Sorted out now, thanks to Wullie Semple

Has anyone got a phone Number for Ramsey Dalgliesh in Dumfries?

Thanks George.

The above pigeon was found dead by a non fancier in the Peterhead area. Anyone got club secs details Thanks in advance

Wow, that was quick, thanks very much, will give him a ring.
