"smart *expletive removed* " can i have a No 62 with chips please , no salt & vinegar ,oh and a can of vimto.

i have been told by old friends of my late Father that many young in the nest were rung by my Dad in the old leatherworks factory where they worked in the 60,s after finishing down the mine. many went on to win , some to top the fed and one was a "Chester 2 bird winner" from Nantes (about 450 mile ) to home ,and later sold for a good sum

take it east TOOSHY .

there to be enjoyed , thats enough for you , then thats great too.

you would be welcome at Gladsmuir club , there a good lot ,quite competetive , but all are there to be beaten ,its one of the larger clubs in the area with 14 flying lofts and 2 more wishing to join next year .when youve settled in let me know and we will introduce ourselves . .

its for "big doo,s" if i am not mistaken .

ok , no it could be Chris, Bonnington birds you see ,hes a little closer , but theres a man Tam who has "big doo,s" close to you also . several fliers in the village , am sure you will get to know us all at some time .

looking good , best of luck for the coming season. .

welcome both .

morning folks , babysitting day today .

its the very same here Lindsay .

i am unsure who it was , but maybe some one will remember , a fancier used to catch all the black or very dark pigeons from the railway arches and bred and formed a family from them ? have read about this a few times . .

well your not a million miles away then , we are in Meadowbank Road

welcome Robert , where in East Lothian are you ?

buscheart .

welcome .

with a result like that i would be tempted to offer them weekly

to be honest i have semi-panicked in the past , but no longer ,theyll come thru it themselves . had a latebred start the new season the following year with 4 to go and raced well through to 350 miles + .so apart from adding small seed,s for the new coat i barely bother now.

the birds certainly know better than me what,s good for them .

was determined to finish the gable end by Friday Bill ,but wasnt too good yesterday so am a day behind schedule .

ive not fed them anything strange , but have had youngsters decimate the winter pansies .and in the past gorge themselves on haws .with no ill effects .

oh Bathgate hope she returns safely . i have done some more painting today , darn cold outside tho

i have some of the above listed books , not read them for a while , but .. they were usefull , good information mostly and the occasional good tip .no dvds tho.
