  10. sorry lads i think this is another nail in the coffin of scottish fitba. why pay a man all that money to play fitba when the poor blokes who are paying to watch him are earning less in ayear than he makes in a week.the sooner scottish fitba goes bust the better so a sensable wage structure can emerge from the ashes and more scots laddies can get a chance.

  17. thats me back online , had a couple of viruses all cleaned up now .last sunday morning myself and raymond birnie were injecting my doos and letting them out one at a time. raymond then spotted a female sparrowhawk up high basically caseing the joint ready for a hit. as we watched her a larger bop came into site and caused the sparrowhawk to dive for cover we then realised it was a peregrine on the hunt . it immediatly folded its wings and dropped like a rocket hitting a red cock about 30 feet above my loft. the red cock fell in a puff of feathers into a neighbours garden. it was so close to me i could see it was a this years young female still in nest colours.at this point i was jump ing about clapping my hands and shouting ,raymond was whistling and howling and running arond like mr blobby on acid . the falcon was determind to get the doo but after about two minutes it slowlly gained hight and drifted away.my jack russell harry on hearing the noise came running out the house as he usually thinks thers a cat to chase when he hears me shouting.i then ran along to my neighbours garden to see if the red cock was still alive when it fluttered up on to a low wall minus its tail and blood comming from its leg somewhere . i was about to grab him when a cat jumped onto the wall and grabbed him followed by harry nailing the cat and all three falling back over the wall. as i jumped on to the wall the red cock burst past me and flew into the loft .harry and the cat disappeared rond the side of the neighbours hoose then came back chuffed to bits his wages well earned. i can assure steve taylor that at that time there was no whisky involved.the red cock is now called lucky jim

  19. i used duramitex for years as a dipping agent and it was first class , the doos stayed beasty free for the year.you could smell it off the doos when you entered the loft and i only had 1 doo go down after dipping.ive not heard of this new type though
