I thought it was a great show but what do I know really impressed by the work and preparation that must have gone into the birds, make mine look like f****** strays far Lockerbie toon hall

I got 8 pages of of information this morning from our fed. Secretary passes on from the SHU and emanating from the Scottish Government.Basicly it warns against allowing pigeons to mingle with wild birds and warns fanciers to ensure that food and water for our pigeons is out of the reach of wild birds.OK just now for most fanciers but could become a problem later.I have warned all my club members about this.At the moment it is all strong advice and not so far mandatory.

Christmas Eve soon enough

OK John I can see Lanarkshire from Moffat and I can also see The Borders.Any chance of Michael and me joining Lanarkshire.

I fully understand your pain Peter having undergone the same sadness myself.I remember reading a quote that a man said that his idea of heaven was that after he died he would see all the dogs he ever owned come running to meet him.I hope that is true.

You are quite right big da this politically correct business is a pain in the you know where.I will soon be 82 years old and I still drink, smoke and drive a fast car(though not all at once). Better to burn out than to fadeaway.

Peregrine.Latin Pergrinus literally means one from abroad or traveller, i they were named as such by our more observant ancestors cause they move around the world.I wish they would move permanently from here.

It's no a money making law at all.I have been unfortunate enough in another life I once had to witness at close hand on too many occasions the death,destruction of whole families and serious injury caused by stupid thoughtless drunk drivers and it is surprising to see persons suggest that the new legislation is merely an attempt to make money

A conviction for drunk driving ain't screwing the motorist.

The SNP conference in Perth is presently discussing "Raptor Persecution". Interesting to hear about wild life tourism and and the benefits to our country and the poisoning and shooting of raptorsInstructive for fanciers

I just looked at it.It says Canal Zone on the bar,I was there 1951 to 1953 before the actual Suez crisis, my friends were being murdered by terrorists who later evolved into freedom fighters.I'm still confused to this day but I know we were all forgotten about by the establishment.

Typical of the Uk,I got my campaign medal from the authorities more than 50 years after I earned it

Problem with witnesses

I got a cat in my loft this afternoon,,I gave it a prolonged and serious soaking with a strong garden hose hopefully this will deter it from returning.I am thinking of buying one of those electronic cat deterrents.Any advice?

OK here's a couple of items for members to contemplate 1. The RSPB announce the start of a new campaign to help the poor persecuted hen harrier. 2. A sheriff excuses herself from the bench in a case involving the death of buzzards but only after a defence solicitor reminds her that she is a RSPB member

F*** Steven I'm crushed.

This site has gone dryasdust

I would be interested to find out how other federations pay their driver/convoyers per trip as I thought I might address this subject at the Solway AGM.

I was quoted £333 today to insure my Saab,made a phone call to my insurers and told them I had a better offer which was true.They immediately offered the same insurance for £254 obviously a saving of £80 just shows what a racket the insurance business is.So there you are gents do not accept the first offer, make call

I notice that Livingston Sherrif Court has an uncompromising attitude to anti freeze and tuna cocktails left out for our feline friends.

Here is the final picture,and I promise Mr.Hay and Mr.Boswell I will confine myself exclusively to pigeon matters on this site from today.Scotland no longer exists we have forfeited the right to call ourselves a nation.We no longer deserve to have a national football team or rugby team,Flower of Scotland and Scotland the Brave are in the past.We have made our democratic choice and are probably the only country in known history to reject independence.Welcome to North Britain.

Are you kidding George we'll get f*** all.

The Scottish Lion slinks back into his cage FEART. AGAIN

A big well done to George Firth
