Blue Tooner

I heard his wife screaming when I heard him say to her "It's alright love, it's just the undertaker again" ;D ;D ;D

The fancier who the birds belong to couldn't believe it :-/

Got a stray in the beginning of last week and phoned the number on the clip ring and found it was a bird racing from Thurso then tonight got in another stray covered in oil and again phoned the number on the clip ring to discover it belonged to the same fancier in the south of england as the stray I got in the week before except this time it had been lost from an Arbroath race a few weeks before, ??) what are the chances of that happening :-/

That would be okay also Raymond

Cheers Walter, aye the nights will closing in by then right enough so probably better to miss the last Perth, just my opinion cos I like to go to the national.

Fit date is the young bird national Walter? is it the 5th of September or the 12th? If it's the 5th and we do our whole fed programme we will be at Perth 3 the week before the national ;D ;D Hope my young ones can manage the 240 mile jump ??)

Sorry guys, you'll have to wait till tomorrow as his laptop is getting repaired

Aye that aswell

That would be great, thanks a lot.

Johnston, Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire :-/

Stuart Maskame (Maskame & Mackie) aka the flying undertakers, don't worry when you see us coming, it's when you don't see us you should start to worry :o ;D ;D ;D

We've had one of our Falaise birds reported in Wales, which couriers would you reccomend for service and price? cheers

He will reveal all when he comes online tonight It's worth waiting for, belive me.

Yep a Hairy kneed Highlander from Elgin

It would have to be a real super pigeon to tackle Raymond Birnie ;D Keep guessing guys, the nearest guess will get a pint or two from Doomaloon at Blackpool

Heard an in credible tale from Doomaloon on the phone tonight, but I will let him reveal all himself, all I will tell you is that it involves a pigeon, a sparrowhawk, a peregrine, a cat and a Jack Russell and last but not least RTBirnie from this site. Wait until you hear this one you couldn't make it up ??) ??) :X :X Doomaloon will reveal all in due course

Just got one, 18.33 pleased to see her, think she may be 2 late for a section ticket though :-/

Yep, good doos, well done guys

Well done Kevin, a good doo

I'm sure they will work in for you guys, After my disaster on Tues evening I am now up to 60/67 so keep your chins up and have faith. I know how you feel and it ain't pleasant but give them a day or two In season 2005 we had a similar thing happen, we had 70 y/bs away ranging when the weather closed in with fog and rain, only had 4/70 back by dark. over the next 2 or 3 days we got most back, dropping around 6 or 7. These youngsters won all before them that season, 8x 1st club, 2 x 1st fed and 14th & 33rd open y/b national at 386 miles winning the young bird average in club and fed so sometimes what seems like a disaster can be a blessing in disguise

Nae bad George ;D I've had a few training tosses fae the crem at Aberdeen :X

Definately, turned out a lot better than I ever imagined it would. Hopefully the birds should have learned a lot from this experience.

2 more on the loft in morning, 4 more arrived between 12noon and 1pm and 1 more at 7pm tonight so now up to 60/67 I will sleep a little easier tonight ;)

Now 53/67 getting there slowly

Now 46/67, I've been tempted to lie down in a coffin at work today and get one of my colleagues to screw the lid down, this is torture ;D Haven't checked the loft since 2pm so hopefully one or 2 more when I get home at 5pm
