i bet you would still be happy if it did dougie

iv'e heard that there are birds doing 40 mph into middlesboro.

thanx mate same to you all the best ,although i think its going to be very hard not many home north of the border tonight especially from lillers

i know ive birds away ,was just asking as uphall had asked for times for all birds in convoy except the SNRPC, bitter or what?

so is the SNRPC not racing today uphallhen?

i think the birds will go up in the morn around 6am as weather is moving north and east and wind is also easing.

the weather has changed just about every hour ,but now looks like we could have got a race tomorrow ,but the race controllers make the decision. and most of the time get it right

cockenzie frank next to tranent

great idea john hope it gets off the ground . maybe the two nationals could drop the inland nationals and get back to two or three channel races and let the feds /combines/ amals take care of the inland stuff

is the pied hen away frank? ive sent 3 could not be happier with them so very hopefull

yes had a look at 6am this morn frank while your tucked up in bed with carol and the two dugs ,and yes it looks ok for saturday from lillers and the winds are easing as the day goes on ,give me a phone on ,ma mobile when you get up (10:30 am) ha ha im working in edinburgh today and t,morra ,off to work now 06:45

east winds at this time of year are dry winds and dehidrate the birds very very quickly always better with the more moist/humid west winds mate far better for racing in ,maybe not for the west boys though.

thats the last wind you want out of falaise mate trust me.

i will send 3 frank ,a 4yr old and 2 x 3yr olds ,all sitting 11/12 day eggs and prepaired well so fingers crossed

the bbc forecast looks no very good but xc says its ok with a strong west wind just like riems/alencon in 2008

ive been training 4 john but think i'll leave out the two year old as he got hawked at newark on the 22nd may and not had a race since so he can sit till next year he 's a 1/2 brother to my 5th open on one side and 1/2 brother to my 1st open on the dams side .well bred

brill mate good luck i'll pm you my phone no so we can keep in touch during the race , as most of the times/phone calls come through port glasgow

did you understand him martin or did you say what most say (say that again karl ,say that again karl, say that again karl.hes got a broad irish accent bloo dy hard to make out at times .

is this with the unc john?

great guy is karl (greengrass) pure gentleman.

welcome to the site listen and learn .

hes just a wind up merchant john never mind him ,real doo men know how good my hen was that day .

you are entitled to your opinion dick. thanx

very interesting post.

if it was me that had your problem the first thing i would ask myself . HOW have the birds got this ? HAVE you too many birds in your loft? IS your loft well ventilated ? ARE they mixing with other birds that may have problems ? Sort this before you treat them or it wont make a bit of difference as once they are cured it WILL COME BACK .
