frank-123

sneaked a toss this morning then the rain and mist came down

i collected the bird today any claimers if not i will call the shu tomorrow

florida it was great 95f-100f every day

the birds need fed the dog needs fed the grass needs cut its cold and damp oh and celtic are out of the champions league but its good to be home

well done gerry great team performance sure the 1st will not be far away its 100f here the beer is ice cold

i posted on another thread i broke a bird i bought from davie stirling when he packed the birds in the bird was flying out all winter to me had three races then it went down in sedgefield to my surprise. it flew every race last year including ypres for the stirling brothers taking a good few tickets drops today in the pouring rain been living wild the cock it was paired to dropped right down beside it and both started cooing the cock has had two hens since it disappeared

had my wee ones out the rain was belting down straight back in the loft they went

had to clean the loft with the birds still inside and was hoping for a toss some hope there the rain has been pouring since 11.00 stepped outside and there was a bird i lost in sedgefield months ago

I will be racing out to the pool with a Budweiser in hand to soak up the rays 110f in florida just now hope the young birds go well and returns are good

was told it was just a natural thing they do to cool down when it is warm

it could be lost but sometimes if the weather is really bad they will hide till it gets better they find it harder to navigate if they cant see ahead if its still hanging around tomorrow post again sure someone will advise you what to do thanks for taking the trouble

it will probably be resting most likely make its way home if the weather gets better

well craig thank *expletive removed* never took your looks

just like to say thanks to tommy for breeding me the sire of the bird which took 6th region e clermont for me at the weekend also to davie hannah and gordon cook burnbank who bred the dam davie and gordon also bred my bird i timed from reims this year as well when i asked davie if i could get some more young birds next year he said just help yourself well done to ian brown( ib) who was just behind me on the open result just pipped ya

you had a look in the mirror maybe a mask ! would help

the start of the year was terrible lost three spare hens before i even started training. then when i started training i lost a lot of late breds that i tried to use to supplement my race team due to the losses i suffered at wetherby last year when we got over 200 mile my loft got a little better results wise and returns wise at the start of the year i aimed to send to all snfc races only missed bourges sent 10 birds to inland nationals and across the water and still have 5 left too late bovingdon and eastbourne but timed from reims and clermont making the result both races which was fantastic the big disappointment was losing my good hen from ypres been my best season ever roll on 2011

come on now lads these boys do all the work surely being on the committee they need to know first george put these on here to highlight the guys performance

george doing that job do you find all shapes and sizes are winners

you can have all the fancy lofts you like its what's in them that counts the words of billy allison cambuslang and his lofts are the opposite of fancy

just been reminded we charged other feds £1.50 one guy who collected them charged £5 to the members of his fed where others never charged anything but the £1.50 nobody should be out to make money from there fellow members

mr rankin lost money but don't tell him

yes it was murder being down on that race well done getting your good timer

we were not charged but we had to cover costs to go and collect them kenny buchannan loaned us his pick up at no charge but fuel and drivers had to be paid last year was a one off they guys down there know scottish birds will not be collected so this year will be the same no collection of scottish birds as no transporter will stop to collect as far as i am aware no way was i questioning guys like yourself john or davy i would rather see the money going direct to you boys and the feds/shu get nowt as we pay our dues only trying to highlight the fact you boys do the work so should be paid accordingly
