Valiant Fifer

Yup ur right Chrissy boy some excellent fanciers in attendace young and auld alike lol! Think al bring a big bag wi me next time, am always lookin for shavings for the loft Also would like to say a very big THANK YOU to Big Stuart Mullen for lookin after a doo for me. Its no true what they say about you Big Fella, You are definitely A Gentlemam!!! Many Thanks and take care. S.B.

Meant tae say next year duh! He tell ye he's only getting 30 rings but he'll buy about half that again no doubt! PMSL!!!

Aye true big yin! But yer pals breedin a wheen o thum this year! Lol.

How many's enough ?

Well done to all prize winners at last nights show! Really enjoyed the show even though I never entered any doos. Good atmosphere and very friendly bunch o lads! Also have to say well done to all the organisers its a great wee show open to every one. Will deffo go back for the craic Lads Cheers!!!

Yes all sad but so very true. Wonderful animals are dogs. Cant see me without one now, their better than people!

I usually have 10/12 l breds to train every year which is usually Oct/Nov. Havent got round to it this year yet but their flying well just now and they will have to run the gauntlet soon. Maybe 6 tosses in fife out to 10mls. Then over the Forth with them at 15, 20, and 25 mls. Once thev'e been over the forth a couple of times I have more confidence in them. Iv'e had ylg L Breds right out to the coast as yearlings and even a few across the channel which have been timed in and looked none the worse. I usually send the majority of them to the second or third race for the first race in their lives. I find they usually do better by missing the first race and getting a few more tosses under their belts and once thev'e had a race or two they settle down. They can at times surprise you. Some of them have been my best birds. My 6th Open Andrezel Hen started as a l bred. My first bird from Ancenis this year and last year started as a l bred as was my first pigeon from Arras this in fact she was ripped wide open. Also my first bird from Arras last year 25th Open 15 hrs 20 mins on wing was also a l bred. There have been others over the years but you can see from the above i'm a firm believer in showing some patience with these inexperienced birds. Its all about Patience I believe!

Ok thanks M8!

Not a bad idea Old Yellow, something to think about and something to look forward to!

Hope to get to Doncaster next year Old Yellow and meet up with u and Kirky! Sorry I couldn't get there this year, and thanks to you & Kirky for lookin out for me on ur stall!

Forgot to say I loved to watch Starsky & Hutch which I thought was the best American cop Programme ive seen. Best Brittish cop Programme in my opinion would have to be The Sweeney. Seemed real to me with the Cockney lingo in it! Good punch ups in the Blaggs as well !

Deffo miss The Sweeney and without a doubt The Old Grey Whistle Test! Those were the Days!!!

Anyone Know the address for the Clarkston Show Please ???
