Full result on website well done all

For what its worth it's my understanding a watering can was purchased by A Mr A McKee from the garden center to help fill drinkers this was not the problem. The problem was an unknown container or drum was used to assist to help make filling the watering can easier. Anyway whats been done is done accidents happen lessons to be learned and a line to be drawn under this unfortunate circumstance all birds seem to be in good health. good luck to all

Lib Line saying held over

I remember having my first chance at timimg it was for Wullie Gault who had to go away to work. Any way he basketed the young birds for the last race off the season think he sent five. He had a mealy cock who had won all the previous races i was so excited about catching and timing as my dad hadn't allowed me as yet only not to see a feather in race time. After a couple off days 4 returned all bar the mealy who was so consistent. Wullie gifted to me and dad all that returned plus a a 78 hen.I fancied a blue piet hen and sent it to Airdrie open only for it to lie out any she returned early next morning thats when i learned about being eggy she laid her seconed egg a mistake a would never make agian. She was set up for Averanches and once again it was my chance off my first timing as my mum and dad were going to a wedding.The day came only for me to be chasing up our loft buddy in the pub lol pigeon men.It statrted to go get dark and had been raining for a while when the piet hen hut the landing board i had to phone dad at the wedding and all and sundry came back to the hoose i took the clock to Airdrie to find it closed. Alas it was not to be it was once again out of race. cheers Shug

Cheers mate sadly a lost my dad last October to cancer just when we were talking about getting a few birds. We had to remind him hospital about memories and i brought up the time when he he wrote the wrong number on a transfer and the hen scored in a national 91st section only to be disqulified it brought a tear to his eye but a least he remembered as the staff said he was dilerious cheers mate

Interesting topic, A wee story fae me my first national must have been Rennes in the early eighties my dad hadn't been really interested in the nationals but had tried the last combine fae Averanches a few times.I was 11 or 12 when my dad met a neigbour who had scored well in the nationals in Longriggend with his dad. He confinced my dad to join and me had a 1977 Mealy cock who had been to most races except over the pond. So we joined and set up this old mealy for the race my dad decided myself and mum would take the bird over to Hamilton. We stood at the bus stop with a one bird basket and a very nice pigeon man on his way passed stopped and asked if we were going to Hamilton. He promptly invited us into car and ran us over to Hamilton think his name was Alex Ross fae Fife area. needless to say the old plodder of a mealy homed but out of race time. Mr Ross also ran us home he had been shocked to find a member of or own club and fed had ran past and gave him a dig at Hamilton lol Cheers Shug

Well done all on the result especially W Gault E14 144 open he started us off in the right direction in 1979 when i was eleven with 5 pigeons Su 78m 503 a think Cheq piet Hen Su 79m 5467 Blue Hen Su 79m 5470 Blue piet Cock Su 79m 5473 Blue piet Hen Su 79m 5474 Blue cock The only dissapointment was the blue hen timed in a National 91st section only to be disqualified as my dad had written down wrong number on the tranfer form but thems the breaks

Well done Andra hope its one of that good Cheq cock you got cheap lol and the other two are the same well done

Ma Names Shug Good luck not trying to knock you just noticed a couple of your posts and if a was me going for my first national with a young team a certainly would not have missed any races or training.

Cracking looking lofts the only negative i can see there doesn't seem to be any spaces at the back to remove stale air jmo

Try this link hope it works been good to read http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/topic/64956-pigeon-health-questions-for-walter/

I used it as required dad used it before my time and recommended it and i can honestly say never had to use another deworming solution.Had droppings tested and the guy that tested them could not find anything and could not believe it. I have since read all reports re liver damage etc it worked for me and its good enough for humans.

cheers Hughie ,he,d never nighted out before , so was a little worried ,but again , glad he,s home now. Cheers Andy theres always one you look out for and wonder why it's missing in the first place always nice to see them if you had high hopes.

Andy never give up remember a while a go a neighbour loosing a Mealy piet from Worcester on the Sat only to return on the following Thurs basketing day for Cheltenham. He gave it a feed don't think it was in the loft two hours when it was back in the basket for Cheltenham 300 or so miles and sure as hell it was first club, Good luck

Peter never had a T3 took this off another site hope this helps To set your t3 press the top button to show time set then go to the second butten down and press that one and the hour will count up press it until you get to the hour you want if the minute press the 3rd one and it will do the minutes if you have change the date pess the top one again to just say time and you can move the date to the right one. cheers Shug

Just been looking over the Clyde at Glasgow Central and the wind is straight out the South at present

Good luck with the sale Andy missed a few already wish a was in a position to restart football and work taking up my time at the moment with my seven year old. Heres hoping he makes it and gets me my loft of my dreams lol.

How many horse races are they every year how many are lost over the year that the public dont get to know about albet more are lost or put down due to unforseen circumstances or do not make the grade before they even seen a race course.A bit like pigeon racing i suppose sad maybe for the public to see live on the tv but sorry to say thems the breaks.

You dont take antibotics beacause everybody body else around has flu but you take precautions to help you fight it ie would you let your kids go withouth out the the mmr jab Another debate would be autisim ?
