  1. Losses are heavy and nobody is immune to the predators wherever they live. But it's still the greatest sport on earth and the best people I have ever met in my life has been through the birds. Win or not, there is no better feeling then seeing your first bird home go through the trap.

  3. Count me in!
  4. Hi Archie, Sorry to hear/see this. You are a good fella and no doubt don't deserve or need this.
  5. Happy Father's Day to one and allðŸ™ðŸ‘ðŸ¼ðŸ‘Œ
  6. I'm working just 13 miles from the Kettering racepoint today and tomorrow. Very grey and gloomy here and had very light rain earlier. Visibility poor also.
  7. Is this Kettering in Northampton?
  8. High Flyers couriers are the best around by a country mile. Not the cheapest, if you want the cheapest go to walkers transport. But they are awful and if you are lucky enough to have your bird kept in their mixed holding pens be prepared to treat for a whole range of things when you get the bird to your place.
  9. In your opinion... when does a pigeon become a Champion? It seems some people are overly keen to use this term (yes, usually the guys who are keen to sell a load of their offspring in the books or at sales...)! But in your opinion, where is the line between a very good pigeon and a Champion?
  10. Well deserved mate. Glad to see you tidied up ya beard a little bit before the picture too ya scruffy *expletive removed*
  11. Fair play to the big fella, when ya get past his pitbull growl he is a top top man.

    Busy Wee Day

    Looking good Alf. With the engine oil as a coating/sealant...How long would you expect that to last before you have to re coat it?
  13. Those coroline sheets are ideal and will last a long long time however they are not cheap. If you need a quick and easy fix go to the Screwfix website and search for the "No Nonsense Water Repellent" sealant. £15 for 5 litres and you can coat anything, wood, brick, felt, cement etc etc. It is amazing stuff and you just brush it on in minutes, no fuss. As a quick fix should sort your problem for a year plus then you can just re-coat as/when the problem returns.
  14. I will start the bidding off. 100 Euros
  15. Lovely looking pair there mate. Especially like the first one
  16. Am on a first aid course today and the fella doing it has a whole bag of goodies I have my eye on. Has anyone got a needle on hand to tell me the size/gauge usually supplied with vaccines? Cheers - Pete
  17. DORIN MELINTE of Harrow 100%
  18. How long ago were they laid??
  19. I'd like to see prize money done away with. Also would like to see some form of club fund raising to reduce or even do away with annual subs. Be it a BB sale or an open race or YB sale etc etc.
  20. Get some Metatone tonic in your drinker ASAP mate
  21. What an amazing setup. Pisses on Petron! Good on you mate. Enjoy
  22. Looking good mate. Hope 2016 is a great year for you. :emoticon-0167-beer:
  23. Hey Joe tried to call ye earlier but no answer mate. This is crazy talk mate can't be doing this. Why not just do away with the stock birds and keep the racers? Less birds to focus on and more birds/time purely for racing?! Would be a very sad thing if you did pack up mate. One of the kindest and most generous fellas around on this website or generally. Like Derek rightly said, Think it through a few weeks mate before you commit to it. Would be genuinely gutted to see you pack it all in. Don't make me come up there and drink your whiskey and talk ye out of this pal.
  24. Cheers for all the responses and feedback guys, really is much appreciated. Will have a look and read about them all and see what I end up with.
  25. Loft pedigree software, who uses a system to keep track of their birds on the computer? If you do, what do you use and what do yo like or hate about the system you use. Looking to buy a system and keen to get any feedback from any of you boys who have already used one and have experience with one. Cheers, Pete
