Yep, many good points put forward from above posts. But 'Strays' are a 'Blister on our Foot’, which sadly - I believe - is here to stay, and one that we will just have to put up with. Regardless of high ground or morals I’m afraid. No! I will never cull anyone’s bird. I hate doing mine when it is in their' best interest or has to be done. But I have to accept, like you all do have to, that this 'Blister on the foot' is a small pain to any other options open to us. So like the ET. Get over it, it's here, and will stay a blemish on the foot. No two ways about that. Liken it when- as a carpet / floor fitter - asked to take up old lino / carpet etc. We straightaway refuse, because it's like a 'Pandora Box' you just don't know what a multitude of sins may be hidden!! - even to move anything at all, off shelves, fridge, chair before laying a carpet we refuse.... Because the knock on effect could be very costly to the fitter if he does a good deed to help! So we don't / won’t do it! Likewise the cost in real terms would / will far outweigh any costs in regards of trying to enforce a practice - as it has now become - that doesn't sit well on our shoulders.

Good, great news, am pleased for you. I will give you a breeding pair.

A wins a win! And yous haven't lost one under this manager. Has to be good.

I believe it is, and has to be, the way it is. Especially when a very large percentage of flyers are breeding more culls every year to off set higher losses every season for breeding even more Culls. The reality is that A. the RPRA would not have a sport left if most pigeons were reported and sent for! Because A. A very high percentage couldn't afford to send for them. Suspentions would go through the roof. Meaning even more having to leave the sport. Mean further costs of all racing and feeds / supplies would then abound with tremedous costs, yep even a darn site more. then many stockist would say that the profit margin to house feeds / supplis, / meds etc. warrent no room and the shelving of more saleable products would replace them. We must accept the reality that most fancier can just about afford to keep pigeons, but not to lose them. And before the crap about they can afford to drink / bet etc. for everyone in the club that does.... the rest DON'T. So the beer swilling will, regardless, and even pack up racing.... whereas those that struggle now, would struggle a darn site more and have to pack up keeping pigeons to race. And the circle would be a spiriling loss of flyers and higher costs. You can't have your cake and eat it! And so what if I get 10, 20 even a 100 flipping strays, send up the road towards thehome where possible... and that is very often possible. Someone somewhere is going somewhere sometime... get shot of....

I said quote '.......So we have to expect only a 3 - 1 win Tuesday. He thinks he is on the right side what Ashley Cole is on the Left! Cole has a brain and can adapt. Can attack and GET back and Still in a proper position whereas Johnson let's it slide and loses his way. In fact not an Ashley but any stretch of the im.......' Well I did say well in advance eh! 3 - 1 England. A good result, especially when one takes into account the swiss were the only side to beat Spain in the World Cup eh! Nice to see Scotland have got their first win under their new manager... He in fact hasn't lost one yet.

too flipping dear

Yep

Same thing ... Piddle (instead of water eh! ) Would pong
