After a bright and dry start, light rain at the moment and expecting it to turn heavier for the rest of the day, here in Gateshead.

When bringing in new birds from other lofts how do you carry out the following? 1. Do you keep them separated from your own birds and if so for how long? 2. Medication - for how long and for what do you medicate against (if any)? 3. What is your routine for introducing these new birds to your own - after the quarantine period?

A good looking man walked into an agent's office in Hollywood and said, "I want to be a movie star." Tall, handsome, and with experience on Broadway , he had the right credentials . The agent asked, "What's your name?" The guy said, "My name is Penis van Lesbian ." The agent said, "Sir, I hate to tell you, but in order to get into Hollywood , you are going to have to change your name." "I will NOT change my name! The van Lesbian name is centuries old, I will not disrespect my grandfather by changing my name. Not ever." The agent said, "Sir, I have worked in Hollywood for years...you will NEVER go far in Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian ! I'm telling you, you will HAVE TO change your name or I will not be able to represent you." "So be it! I guess we will not do business together," the guy said and he left the agent's office. FIVE YEARS LATER......The agent opens an envelope sent to his office. Inside the envelope is a letter and a check for $50,000. The agent is awe-struck, who would possibly send him $50,000? He reads the letter enclosed... Dear Sir, Five years ago, I came into your office wanting to become an actor in Hollywood , you told me I needed to change my name. Determined to make it with my God-given birth name, I refused You told me I would never make it in Hollywood with a name like Penis van Lesbian. After I left your office, I thought about what you said. I decided you were right. I had to change my name. I had too much pride to return to your office, so I signed with another agent. I would never have made it without changing my name, so the enclosed check is a token of my appreciation. Thank you for your advice. Sincerely, Dick van Dyke

Sad, sad news - may they all Rest In Peace.

Not really. Use site in a different way now. Still get the error message when I hit "view new content" when I am signed in. No problems when I am signed out. Now use portal and F5 to refresh/update pages. Something clearly not right but as I say...use site in a different way now to get around the problem.

Thanks a lot, Ian and DJWa. F5 works as well as Portal.

Not got that, Andy. Have been going through "portal" as Ian McKay suggested through a PM. Thanks for all your help...will get by until I hear from FIFER.

Where's the refresh button, Andy?

The error page is only showing when I am signed in. No problem when signed out. Would it be possible for a site administrater to have a look at this problem for me please? I have cleared all of my cookies. Thanks.

I had a forecast sent to me just before Christmas last year - it took three weeks. They had me down for 42 qualifying years; which was incorrect (I have 44 years). They estimated a pension of £140.55 per week yet as from April 2016 everyone with 35 qualifying years or more will receive £155.65 weekly!(so they say!). Will be requesting another forecast on my 61st birthday - 1st May 2016. Not much faith in the first forecast so we'll see how they go with the second!

Lived and worked in Scotland for 20 odd years, loved the scotch pies they sold in Helensburgh. Can't remember who made them but had at least 1 every Saturday. Unfortunately can't get them in Gateshead and they've never heard of them in my local Aldi even though they're on their website!!!

High winds, spitting on to rain but expect Franky to kick in shortly, here in Gateshead.
