  1. due to work i usually train my birds in the evening usually liberating between 6.30-7.00,how many of you guys train in the evening?,during late may and june i will train even later. training 25-45miles. :).
  2. how many birds will lanarkshire send on saturday???????approx.
  3. bigda big start for you on saturday kelso lanarkshire fed, how many are you sending? hows the training been going. :)no geography please.
  4. a good start to the old bird racing season and who knows.
  5. got a couple picked out all going well. :)729mls.
  6. bigda you are very well versed on the distance stats.
  7. del, i had this pair once,the alarm went off and i had to go to work!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D
  8. strange question del,i have always been of the opinion that 99% of fanciers would love to have distance birds but these are so thin on the ground ,so even if being an out and out sprint racer you would be very foolish to turn down this very special pair that lay the golden eggs.!!!!!!!!!! ;)
  9. with todays current climate RAMBLING MINISTER got to be worth a look,the wife says SILVER BIRCH and has picked the last 2 winners. ;)
  10. nice and sunny 6.15pm took the yearlings for a wee spin 10 miles just to get them started,no probs. ;)
  11. have had one nesting 100yds from our lofts the past few years cant say it has helped with sparrowhawk attacks but does no harm. :)
  12. no fence sitting here derek i certainly know my own mind,i only offered up a question as to who was interested! if my memory is correct historically the 3b club have had a long standing relationship with the unc since the clubs inception,it looks like thats the way they want the club to continue,the fanciers in the west section who competed in 2008 for the first time and competed very well have the choice to continue membership for season 2009,the 3b club has been supported by some members from the west from the start and will continue to do so.IMO the 3 bird club should have continued to convoy with the snfc for maybe 1 of the 2 old bird races to dangle a carrot for interested fanciers in the west.no fence sitting, splinters or anything else!!!!
  13. cleaned the birds out earlier,after lunch heading into glasgow shoping, then dinner at the raddison and overnight stay and breakfast,home sunday l/time spend some time with the doos and old man,planting some totties,back to work monday. :) hoping to catch the game some where. ;)
  14. looking at this weeks bhw this years programme for cs 3b club looks interesting. folkstone 27th june lillers 18th july whitley bay ybs 16th august £35 membership fees which covers birdage and measurements for the 3 races and £1000 for first open lillers,sounds very good,who on pb will be going???
  15. balance,small to medium in size,good feather quality and covering,big heart,guts,bloodlines,determination and most important of all a love of home,if your bird has these qualities you wont be far away. :) ;)
  16. 25th april stobbs camp,cant wait to get started. :)
  17. no probs alf.
  18. a lot of the time chris the youngsters bought from the fancier are not a patch on the gift bird,if i am asked for youngsters from proven stock or winners, in the past i have been offered bags of feeding which i think is a really nice gesture and will contribute to the rearing of the youngsters. :) :)imo far too many fanciers are selling birds of inferior bloodlines,best to go local for new stock. :)
  19. yes there are a lot of sales coming up in the next few months,hope the midlothian one goes well,one of my big gripes about sales is poor information ie who has bought your bird, transfer forms, carryboxes for purchasers and most importantly of all a wee note of thanks to the fancier who has gone out of his/her way to provide a top class bird which on most occassions will generate fantastic amounts of money for the organisation in question,so come on club and fed committees give these fanciers their place. good luck midlothian fed again. :) :) :)
  20. are you going on your own.???
  21. what do you think is a fair price homer 49????????
  22. well done to both ireland and wales for top quality rugby in the 6 nations,would be great to be in dublin tonight. :)
  23. is this a new club? if so what is the format???
  24. no awards,bloodlines jock allan symington x j&j hood milton of campsie. :) maybe this year.
  25. all this nonsense is a wee bit embarassing,you lanarkshire boys time to grow up. :)
