Nice to see you popping up again Ian. Have a great festive season Ian and and all yours.

I remember only too well the tears I shed losing my Labradour. She got cancer in the brain.... Vet said he could keep her going for a while (up to years). But I said no. She'd lost any dog sense. Though she could obey commands still. But there was no quality life for her. I am still sadden when I think of her even now a few years down the line. It would only have been keeping her alive for pure selfish reasons. I've never had another dog since, she couldn't be replaced a brilliant one off.

On their site thay say where in Britain you can get them. Are two lots of studs and some flyers still having them. Just can't be ar&ed to be bothered to look. But then if I can, so can anyone really interested I guess eh!

No words can say or convey what one wishes to express in reality. Yet I hope you can take some comfort in family and friends ...

They were supposedly imported when importing pigeons was banned in Australia.

Ditto, and is a stud there. Yes my friends over there say it is ... and not very good. There is a website for them. Had it, or have it, but won't find it tonight lol

Upsettin other fanciers lol ;D ;D

Personally the 'Sellers' they can do what they heck they like. Some are great, genuine persons offering agood deals. And time will out, to show just who they are. As for the costs, great, now I know that some shady sherberts are having to donate a little for the use of this site, then bring it on. Yes only appear when flogging sommat. Fine, at least the site is gain a little, and so it should! I for one now will smirkly be appeased when they pop in and flog their culls. Of course no flipping way will I buy a jargon of tripe they spll. Would I ever be tempted to throw my hard earnt at them? :-/ Would I heckers like, might look like a cabbage, but aint that green. 8) 8)

Great, really pleased for you.

Hear Hear, and some are, that they only ever sold / sell. One actually answered on one topic.... Otherwise just advertised and sold. Another did the same... But this one then had the audacity to report me to the 'Mod' when I question his bird :-/ . He still only advertsies and sells. Mind he does now get picked up on some of the claims and also asking prices... Thethe big sulks lol.

Think you should be sending a private P.M asking why tskyes. After all it is personal to you the reason. No one else as of yet will have a inkling, nor then obviously give a jot anyway. Just a repetion of rehashed post that no one needs to read. Sure one will explain :-/ Then take it from there eh! :-/

But of course, that was the gist , I .... eh I give up lol ;D ;D

Agree, and I will state that err, um.... er.... Well I love to see them fly around the houses. Picking up in the garden. The raising of young etc. And every so oftenhave a good loft visit..... Then of course there are some races which we can enjoy... Well nice to see the birds home in god fettle.

Most is tosh spouted here. Reality is there will always be those able to, that will, take advantage. This is so in every walk of life nigh. It is the exploitation, no matter how it is dressed up, that scars. The constant manipulation to gain more advantages on an already unlevel playing fields. Yes of course there is, and alway will be corrupt and manipulative salesmen etc. That is known by most, but mostly it is the foolhardy that get conned.... again through idiotic dreams and ludicriss hopes. Time too Nationals allowed good flyers in unmeretious locations to have the Sections that gives them merit. Gosh it is a joke when Feds, Algam, Combines etc. tripe quadrupple the pigeons sent to Nationals EVERY Week. Why? Because sections mean lining better position lofts coffers. No taste in that, so better of using that monies to feed the birds for a season, or train for their' Club......... Combines etc. So in reality lets face it and be honest here, NATIONALS are to all and sundry a sad Joke! No merit possible, so many that JUST don't bother to waste money. Then who is at fault? Not those that don't waste time not sending and keeping their pigeon money in the pocket to be used in a far more sensible way and place. No the NFC. THE MNFC etc. etc. They wantonly manipulate to appease those that CAN and wonder why not ever more than 3 - 5000 birds are sent! Gosh dozens of concerns send more every week. Rife throughout, and right to the very top. What happened to DAX for example? Never mind the cods wallop spouted, the fact is that the Brits had a chance to win it... so :-/ Took them years to accept it, then ... Never mind them that waste time and effort - like many do, and many names spring straight to mind - spouting about 'Getting everyone on board to go for these Pau / Tarbes etc. And 'Have to be in it toi win it' crap. The so called big concerns can't even agree to send together and cut cost etc. etc. So just who want to put any faith in such showers? If they went collectively, made sensible sections, and gave a little glimmer of actually getting some recognition, and merit, then they may very well send. Sure the same area's will excell. We ALL know that, but if a good birds elsewhere --- Like Frank Doomans section winner - got their' just desserts, then yes some others would no doubt have a go! But to aimlessly throw away good money to bolster better located lofts coffers and bragging rights if soul destroy and senile, and makes no sense whatsoever. Yet, the scribes etc. still play 'Silly me.... Sillier you'!! And some decide to have a go, why more get sharp and give it up as the bad crack it is.

Will come back to the kill if disturb yes deffinately.... the rest is for the Enviro MENTAL LOL (enviorenmentle) ;D ;D

Yep, in a nutshell the able are still conning the masses and milking them. Selfishness must be at an all time high in gleaning every crumb they can.

Thanks all. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've had to recopy as I hadn't sent my daughter a card in Assieland lol. Skint flint I know ent tie lol.

And I fully echo that!

I will of course donate. Whether it be a youngster or two or a donation of cash I will have to decide later. The reason simply is I have, as most will know, bought in to restock and start again in reality. So it will be depending on the hatch and number of youngsters raised, that will decide which which it is too be.

Nae ye bother ... If he pays for the room there'll be a queue of Scotsman striving to get into the door, noo worries about that lol .. ;D ;D

Ah, that's why Celtic flagged in their last game.... couldnae goo the distance eh! ;D ;D

remember the missis moaning each year for knocking the rough off and putting nest bowls into the dish washer .... now most have a dish washer aside of the loft plumbed in :-/ ;D ;D ;D

Whens your sale Budgie Beings it's Xmas and all that Jargon,
