Mildred would have battered the living daylights out of George LOL.

Took me 6 hours to realise it was Punch and Judy after the wife told me !!!.

Could some fancier who has an SNFC rule book pre 2000 please inform us of the objects of the club ? As I am sure it was along the lines of THE PROMOTION OF LONG DISTANCE RACING INTO SCOTLAND and why the constitution was changed.

Would I be correct Ian that our birds would be simultaneously liberated with English, Welsh and Irish convoys ?. If so I can foresee a disaster occurring.

Perhaps the SNFC want to take a good look at the BICC race programme racing every week through June & July 400 - 700 miles with a membership increase doubled over the past 5 years. Now that's forward looking unlike us stuck in a rut.

I do believe it will be you who will be requiring a box of hankies in 9 months

Aye an yi kin stick yir gaelik whaur the sun disnae shine LOL.

And if you are typical of the yes vote then I am sure you will be disappointed with the result.

OWEN gets my vote even if he is Welsh.

Have just checked it out but problem is I cannot remember the dose rate for Nemacide.

Used to use Nemacide until they took it off the market and now use Levacide 7.5% at a dose rate of 0.1ml per 1 litre of water, 3 days on 2 days off and 3 days on as instructed by a veterinary surgeon.

Aye Rabbie wis a character richt enough.

Why don't the pair of you settle down and read the DARIEN SCHEME and the consequences of its failure in Scotland which brought about the Union of Scotland and England.. Then put it in the context of the financial banking crisis over the last couple of years with RBS going bust. It may change your opinion on which way to vote.

Aye, I have many happy memories of those bygone days before the breathalyzer test was introduced.

A happy and prosperous New Year to one and all and I am voting NO.

The two Proposals will be voted on with the winner going against the Status Quo which is normal procedure.

1/3 Beans, 1/3 Peas, 1/3 Whole Maize and you will find you are giving your birds a diet that will give them the stamina to keep them going when others have dropped out. Your young bird losses will not be as great either. Feeding in my opinion has caused the losses we are experiencing due to a lack of protein in the diet with the brainwashing over the years to move onto continental diets. Their was nothing wrong with our feeding of the 60/70s nor did we have the multitude of problems we experience now such as loose droppings where you buy a bottle of crap to stiffen them up. The late Alf Baker fed 60% Maples 40% Maize but certain fanciers on the Forum denigrate past great fanciers as not being able to win in this modern age with new feeding methods !! POPPYCOCK. The top fanciers of old would still win out of turn against the modern racing techniques such as Widowhood, Roundabout or any other system because on Natural they had the ABILITY to observe and recognise when a bird was keen on a certain nest condition unlike the modern fancier who sends a big team with no motivation other than to fly home and win especially to a good loft location. Early breeding is against the Laws of Nature and all racing systems other than the natural system is un-natural and you wonder where and why the losses are coming from. Racing pigeons are still domesticated wild birds that we wish to conform and naturalise to our ways of management and should be treated so.

Agree wholeheartedly Owen especially the final sentence..

If its me your getting at Owen then let me tell you IF Eddy Newcombe would not touch Barley with a barge pole and he is still the best fancier I have ever known then that recommendation is good enough for me and I am only imparting information that I would believe to be correct. When you have been as successful in the pigeon sport then you can denigrate others and what they genuinely believe. P.S. Have not been in a pub for many years..

I was also told by an expert fancier never to feed more than 5% Wheat at any time.

Its a pity their have been no comments regarding barley from any farmer fanciers on Basics as perhaps they could tell us why they grow the stuff !, Anyway not being one who is known for giving opinions may I inform you of my observations and knowledge regarding the three year agricultural turn over of cultivation of a field of soil which was 2 years of differing cereals and 1 year fallow until it was discovered that the fallow year could produce Barley as it took no nutriments out the soil and could be used for cheap winter bulk feed of livestock. Pigs being the foremost that were not for the butcher but breeding sows as it kept the fat off them so they could deliver piglets hence the saying greedy as a pig due to them eating any old sh**.

Can always remember Leslie Davidson who was pretty well clued up in genetics when he wrote for the BHW many years ago and have personally never known a red cock throw anything other than red or mealy HENS

Used this last year as nesting material never again as birds don't like it and is easily blown about with having to top up nests every other day nor does It give a dry nest as its a poor absorbent.

Method in the madness Lewis !!!
