    Coxydene?

    was there yesterday for the first time i thought the stock they held was fabulous the damage to the big sheds next door looked very bad
  6. just normal youngbird behaviour good to see your a bit happier with your birds
  7. they already have a goalie at celtic who is f.. mental
  8. F... MENTAL i am sure he must be a relation http://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/index.asp?tm=2&nid=3516&cd=2010
  9. All about opinions and thanks for your honest answer John and Austin no matter how our fed votes i will go along with it but i hope they stay with the duplication
  10. taking nothing away from wee matt his birds performance was truly outstanding but your performance will be remembered longer john and to all the boys who want to go alone think Austin Whitaker the ypres national winner might have went to his fed race as well and me stuck over here in the west most probably would have forgot already there is a magic about getting on that snfc result and for many that would be taken away chasing a poor second race supporting your fed in my opinion
  11. i just wonder if both the lanarkshire fed and snfc had separate races this year who would you have sent with john?
  12. there has been big problems at marking but all in all i think it still helps the small team fancier getting two bites at the cherry almond valley fed went on there own to maidstone i think that was a poor race returns wise there is no guarantee going with your own fed in a smaller convoy will reduce losses i would vote for my own fed lanarkshire to stay the same with the snfc and duplicate as long as we sorted out our marking station problems but if my fed voted to go alone i would except the decision because i see frustration with many members who would prefer to go alone i reckon it could be very tight vote
  13. http://www.xcweather.co.uk/FR/forecast?Loc=FR they might be lucky and miss the rain
  14. right scary email address
  15. sent email contact 01761437098 british barcelona club jill lockyer
  16. well i will be in florida i miss the first young bird races guess am not a true doo man but when am sitting in 100f drinking Budweiser at the swimming pool i will be thinking am not a true doo man
  17. i am afraid the birds will go if the weather is ok up to yorkshire which it looks like to me on friday but north of yorkshire it looks terrible the snfc have no control over the liberation they go when the great yorkshire amal go just like last week the snrpc were controlled by the mnfc they went and the north was poor weather wise snrpc could muster 124 and the snfc got 251 to there longest races even together they would need to call on the english nationals for joint convoying
  18. we need the life ring number maybe starts gb-09 * 12345 or su 08-k 12345 open a garden shed if you have one and give some dry rice or lentils in a bowl if it is hungry it will follow the food but let it see you put the food slowly in the bowl back off hopefully it will start eating the food just close the door it will be easier to catch in the dark
  19. well done andy and george don't know how you done it andy but you have moaned and groaned all season about how badly things were going for you and you have won the averages and done really well in the fed and had some fantastic results in the snfc 98% must be 92% in your loft
  20. george do what suits you let them out once a day is fine just now must guys will be letting young birds out twice a day to get there fitness up you have no need as you are not racing as for your sputnick make sure nothing can get out or in use some chicken wire to block it up give me a call you can come round and have a chat
  21. some of they boys in england fly 700 miles check out the national flying club website
  22. but can the national afford to lose 5000 birds inland national and still go 600 miles for 200 birds max
  23. good luck hope all goes well
  24. it is sore (sair gone) only 5 birds will receive a prize in the west section from bourges its a long way but because there was only 55 birds sent the prize ratio is 1 prize for every ten birds sent in your section i hope i have explained that ok he has not raced all season
