In today’s Herald newspaper Aberdeen is described as the stupidest place in the whole of Scotland.Quite anaccolade.I of course couldn’t possibly comment.

Great stuff Michael very well done.

I had a call from a lady in Beeswing, Dumfriesshire who has found a dead pigeon with the numberA392 if that means anything to anyone.

I have lost two pigeons in two days to the ever increasing number of peregrines around here.Thefirst was a red hen which was a srtay from Prague and the other a particularly attractive white grizzle.Both of those birds could easily be picked out in flight because of their flashy colouring which gives further proof to my experience over the years that darker birds have a better chance of surviving those predators.

Happy birthday gentlemen and particularly to you Steven

F*** the past Roland and f*** looking back.

Hi Roland, The Past is a foreign country. LP Hartley 1955 Don’t look back it’s alright.. Bob Dylan 1965

Yeah tough life Roland it would bring a tear to a glass eye

I have a sort of cobbled courtyard in front of my house, over the past 200 years depressions have formed and puddles here and there.Thisyearfor the first time the pigeons are ignoring a bath full of good clean water and heading straight for these muddy puddles fora bath .No idea why?

Happy Birthday

Very sensible post Mr.Cameron

What has happened to my friend and occasional adversary Tommy Bhoys? This site ain’t the same without his eccentric contributions,I hope he had not gone off in huff if anybody catches sight of him tell him heis sadly missed.I hope he is not in conference with Nigel.

Latest reports today are of an unexpected spike in COVID-19 in NW England extending into Gretna andAnnan.Wether this development is concerning for federations travelling into these areas is a matter for each organisation.

I lived through these days although I did not have racing pigeons at that time it is customary to look back through rose tinted glasses into a misty cloud of nostalgia.I have see it and done it and it’s better now.

I got a blue pigeon in Moffat.Its SU19A 7100, it has a phone number on is ETS ring which I cannot get to work 079601361:

There was an item in the local newspaper here in Moffat the other week welcoming the arrival of new species of birds of prey in our area.

No wanting a statue of your hero Nigel Tommy?

Oh and by the way nobody better touch the statue of La Passionaria on the banks of the Clyde inGlasgow

Great Iwould support that.There should be statues to Dennis Lawin Aberdeen and Alec Ferguson in Govan true Scottish heroes

I will have to ask you guys in all humility to leave Tommy Bhoy alone,for an auld man sitting in the house during lockdown he is worth every penny for the entertainment value alone even though he is a keen unionist andI suspect also a royalist after all nobodies perfect

Y favourite statue of all time is the statue of LobbyDosser in Glasgow closely followed by Desperate Dan inDundee

There are two hotels used for SHU council meetings.One is inWhitburnI forget its name and the other is The Holiday Inn atStrathclyde park justofftheM74. Both of these hotels have large conference rooms wherea degree of social distancing could be achieved.. Surely with all the discontent at present a meeting could be arranged and an attempt made for the SHU to get its house in order. Strict minutes of such a meeting should be kept and published for the information of the Fancy in Scotland.

Just because you don’t take an interest in politics it does not mean that politics won’t take an interest in you. Pericles
