LIFE IS CERTAINLY TO SHORT THAT HELICOPTER NEARLY AT ABERDEEN AFTER 2 WEEKS OFF SHORE ALL DEAD SOME SORE HEARTS TO SOME FAMILYS TONIGHT

STRAPPER YOU WAS HAVING A QUICK GLANCE AND FORGOT TO ADD THE 10 IN FRONT OF THE 5 ;D ;D ;D

EVERY YEAR I WEAN MY YOUNGESTERS INTO A LARGE PANNIER THE QUICKER THE BETTER FROM NEST TO PANNIER FOR AT LEAST A WEEK THERE NOT LONG IN GOING TO WATER THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF SCARING THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF THEM PUTTING THEM STRAIGHT INTO THE RACING BASKET :-/ :-/ :-/

JIMMY I GIVE MY BIRDS GLAUBER SAULTS BEFORE RACING AFTER PICKING ABOUT AS THEY HAVE OPEN HOLE TILL LOFT IS DRY AND IF I SEE THE FLESH IS ON THE BLUEISH COLOUR ONE PURGE AND YOU WILL SEE THE FLESH TURNING PINK BUT AGAIN ITS UP TO EACH INDIVIDUAL FANCIER FOR ME IT HELPS THE BIRDS AFTER BREEDING BEFORE RACING :)

STEVIE IS THAT YOUR LOFT MANAGER YOUVE GOT A GREAT JUDGE OF CHARACTER YOU HAVNA GEEN HIM THE SCRAPER OR MABE THE TROUEL 8) 8)

jimmy whats the secret to get it round the legs they are doing everything to protect them shell stopped a shut down for 2 months so they could leave the nest they know swans cause aviain flu they dont kill the swans but they will kill all cattle sheep poultry but not the source that started the diease but yet they allow these idiots to breed these killers and make films of them catching our beloved birds and they are multiplying so fast theres nothing we can do to stop them there breeding them in every town and city unless we get the media convinced that the rspb is destroying nature as a whole before theres no wild birds left the laping must be nearing there end in the fraserburgh aera the amount of pairs at ST FERGUS it will be very difficult for english birds to get a START FROM FRASERBURGH AS ITS JUST A BREEDING GROUND FOR PERIGANS :o

TRY AND GET A FEW BOB OFF FRED THE SHRED AFTER STEELING BILLIONS BECAUSE THERE GREEDY B....... :D :D

i agree with you thunderboult if the birds meet a bad race if there is no body on the bird it doesent matter good or bad the birds is struggling to correct a mistake bad judgement by fancier good post 8) 8) 8)

merlin yes i agree entirely what your saying but the weather has to be favourable if your in a race when there coming dribs and drabs in the fed its mostly the sprint that meets there waterloo this has been very noticeable in our fed by the drop in birdage and the bigest losses what i have seen is the sprint always has the poorest returns and again the distance birds shows there true colours if one or two goes astray you can bank on them finding there way back most of the time on the day and most of the distance fanciers will agree there all the better for there mistake and i believe in putting them every week in all weathers as any of my club members will confirm theres no holding a bird back because of bad forcasts infact i like them to get a few dodgy days to sort them out as most of you also myself'? o this is a good one then a couple of races wheres it at away gone NOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MUSCLE THE LATE GEORGE RITCHIE OF INVERALLOCHY HE WAS THE STOCK MAN OF THE RITCHIE @ WHYTE PARTNERSHIP WORTH HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD WHEN IT CAME TO THE BREEDING AND PAIRING OF BIRDS HE WAS THE MASTER ALSO OF RACING HE STOOD OUT HANDS OVER HEELS ABOVE ALL FANCIERS AMOUNT OF BIRDS HE KEPT AND RACED HE HAS HELPED ME ALL MY TIME IN RACING I NEVER ASKED A BIRD FROM HIM BUT EVERY YEAR GEORGE GIFTED ME WITH BIRDS AND WE EXCHANGED BIRDS HIS WORDS TO ME WAS IF THEY SURVIVE WITH YOU THEY SHOULD BE OK HE HAD THIS BLUE COCK RACING MACHINE IN THE CLUB AND FED UP TO 500MILES IWAS WITH HIM IN HIS LOFT HE MENTIONED HE WAS SENDING HIM TO AVRANCHES 622MILES HE SAID I HAVE TO HES LIKE A TANK I HELD HIM BUT WHAT I NOTICED WAS HE HAD A HARDER MUSCLE THAN THE STORM QUEEN WHICH IS THAT SPONGY MUSCLE YOU COULD NOT MISTAKE FOR INSTANCE MYSELF AND WILSON NOBLE WAS IN ANDREW LOCHARTS LOFT WE HANDLED MOST OF HIS PIGEONS HE HANDED ME THIS HEN I TOLD HIM OUT OF ALL YOUR BIRDS THIS IS THE ONE I WOULD TAKE HOME HE SAID THIS IS OF STORM QUEEN NOT BAD I PICKED THIS B IRD OUT OF 100 BIRDS ANY WAY THE BLUE COCK IT DID GET HOME FROM 600MILES BUT WAS SKIN AND BONE AND I BELIEVE THE MUSCLE BURNED UP TO QUICK THE BIRD WAS SENT AGAIN BUT WAS FINISHED PUTTING IN THE SUPREME EFFORT

hotrod lawrie campbell used them for the first few races but he would take 1st 6 positions they were the same you had to face them the way they were going i handled them in lawries loft the thing that sticks with me was the length of there wings they must have been nackered flying very short distances into a head wind but nothing would live with them on easy days but as i have said the brain box was not working very easy lost 8) 8) 8)

JIMMMY HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THE BLACK JETS THESE BIRDS WERE BIG AND WHEN I FIRST SAW THEM I COULD NOT BELIEVE THE LENGTH OF THERE WINGS 12 AND 13 PREMIER FLIGHTS THESE BIRDS COULD GO LAWRIE CAMBELL FLEW THEM FROM ABERDEEN I AM NOT VERY SURE HOW FAR THEY COULD FLY IAM SURE HE MENTIONED120 MILES BUT YOU HAD TO BREED A LOT THEY JUST KEPT GOING DOWN WIN ONE WEEK LOST NEXT ANY ABERDEEN LADS TO TELL US ABOUT THEM

HOT ROD WERE THE SAME FIRST THREE BIRDS THIS YEAR LAST YEAR IT WAS 6 WHEN I HAD CONVENTIONAL CLOCK I ONLY TIMED ONE TILL WE GOT INTO ENGLAND BUT 4 TO 500MILES I CLOCKED EVERY BIRD ON THE DAY 8) 8) 8)

THEY SHOULD TAKE THE [N ] OUT OF THERE CLUB AS I DONT THIINK YOU CAN CALL IT A [NA TI ON AL ] VERY MIXED UP TO ME :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

HOTROD I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AGAINST MOB FLYING AND A MAYBE 15 TO FLY FOR CARDS IT WOULD PUT A MORE FAIR PLAYING FIELD THEY CAN STILL ENTER AS MUCH AS THEY WANT THE REST AS TRAINERS BUT AGAIN IF A TRAINER COMES UP WHOEVER GETS THE WINNER THE RACE IS UNFAIR IT WAS TRIED IN THE SNFC WHEN THERE WERE 6 7 AND 8000 BIRDS GOING TO RACES I THINK IT WENT ON FOR 2 YEARS BUT IT WAS CHANGED BACK TO NO LIMIT OF BIRDS BUT AS YOU NO IF THE SNFC COULD DO SOMETHING FAIR SURLY A FED CAN MAKE SAY FIRST 6 BIRDS TO COUNT IT WOULD GO DOWN A LOT BETTER YOUR HAVING SALES FOR SCHOOLS IF YOU GET SOME INTO THE SPORT I WOULD THINK THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS TRY TO GIVE ENCOURAGE THEM TO STAY IN THE SPORT THE INLAND NATIONAL JUST LOOK AT THE RESULTS HOW MANY THERE IS CLOCKED AFTER FIRST BIRD IAM TALKKING ABOUT FIRST DROP HOW CAN YOU SAY THIS IS GOING TO GET NEW MEMBERS STARTED AN INCENTIVE I DONT THINK SO THERES A LOT MORE TO BE DONE BEFORE YOU GET PEOPLE TO TAKE OUR SPORT UP WHAT DO YOU CALL A FANCIER THAT WANTS ALL THERE BIRDS TIMED AT THE BEST ADVANTAGE POINT I WOULD NOT DARE TO SAY ON THIS POST OR AT ANY AGM YES HOT ROD I WOULD CERTAINLY AGREE AS PEOPLE THAT KNOWS ME IVE HAD PLENTY TO SAY ON THIS SUBJECT WHO NEEDS MORE THAN 1ST 2ND AND 3RD AND THATS ALL SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT FOR EACH FANCIER WHAT DOES ALL THE REST OF THE SPORTMEN SAY AND BEFORE YOU YOU POST GARETH THIS IS CLUB AND FED RACING 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

HOTROD I ALSO BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE TIME DEDUCTION ON ETS FOR CONVENTIONAL CLOCKS BUT ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT WILL BE ALL ETS CLOCKS TRY ONE YOU WILL SAY WHY I DIDNT CHANGE WHEN THEY FIRST CAME OUT GO FOR IT 8) 8) 8)

BLAZ YOU PUT A LIGHT PIGEON INTO A 600 MILES GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY FOR A GALE UP THE BACK SIDE IF ON THE SNOOT THATS WHEN ITS CRUEL NO CHANCE OF HOMING :( :( NOT EVEN A ALSO RAN :o

HOT ROD WHY NOT JUST PASS A RULE SO EVERY FANCIER CAN PUT THERE ETS ON THE LANDING BOARDS THAN HAVE ALL THIS GRUMBLING ABOUT A SIMPLE ISSUE AS THIS THE GREATEST THING ABOUT ETS IS ITS ENHANCED OUR SPORT ENORMOUSELY TO ARGUE ABOUT IT IS SILLY I THINK PUTTING THEM ONTO TRAPS YOU WILL HAVE MORE CHANCE OF BIRD NOT REGESTERING 8) 8) 8) 8)

HOTROD DISTANCE BIRDS GETS MOTIVATED JUST THE SAME AS SPRINT WHAT ABOUT STAN BISS MAY EVEN BETTER REMBER THE STAYING POWER HA HA 8) 8)

mickb just ask me not forgetting blaz i have never raced sprint birds in my life always being content with distance racing but this last 2 years i have been toying with the feeding and i have found it defentely inproved the speed adding hemp and aniseed up to the 300 miles and was keeping up with sprinters once you put your mind to something give it your best shot dont give up now the muscle sprint the muscel will be harder but distance birds will have very soft and bulging at the sides touch it with with your fingers it will move in like a sponge thats the muscle you need for 600 to 700 miles for 450 to 500 miles you will get away with harder muscel but that same pigeon wont fly 600miles as it burns up much quicker

THAT IS WHAT IAM GETTING AT THERE MUST BE A LOT GOING THE WRONG DIRECTION WHEN ITS DODGY DAYS
