Welll -THE only answer to why is - BECAUSE I believe that they do a blumming brilliant first class job. A thankless one often granted, but one where they must often, or at least time to time get great pleasure from this site..... I certainly hope so.

    credit when due

    Possibly why it is that Richard may be turning a blind eye and letting him still be on here. Personally if that is the case, I for one would much rather just him be re - instated as one that has paid his dues.
  21. Yes I expect to lose a few this season. But don't see no point in either chucking them away, or losing some needlessly.
  22. Have a loverly Blue Cock bird. Back in sparkling form.... Loft fit wise. The one that I got back from that disastrous Thurso smash last season I posted a couple of days ago. Well he is driving. Very very keen.... A 100 odd miles. Yes he could go straight in. Be about 10 - 15 minutes behind .... If been trained and done some mileage under his wing would I send him :-/ Only if there was a good reason to. Not in averages now, no money - which not interested in anyway - to be won. So why would I want to send him. Yes for the buzz of racing... Folly that I feel. Will be driving again in 3 weeks, be a NRCC or such around then. Will have done - hopefully - some mileage and a race. Ah now that to me makes sense..... Could lose a few like our Fed did last week. Did I paid out good money to buy, fork out time effort and more money every week since just to get a worthless buzz and risk losing him and a few more :-/ :-/ :o Guess sense no, andmind must over rule the heart eh!!

    joke

    ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
  24. No hurry for me really. Am trying new stock, so must be fair to them. Sure it's ok to say, as I have done many times and still will in different circumstances 'I have them to fly / race, and they're going'! But pointless to chuck away birds that may well turn out well. After all I bought them to shine! Bought them to do the job! Not for boys to do a man's job, or risky for the sake of a bit of cardboard or sticking chest out at club. Or for the odd slap on the back! No, I bought them in - at great costs some (well to me any way) to improve and get back on the ladder. Why then in darnation would I send and risk 2 years work, only to have to start again! :-/ :o There is always another day .... as long as you haven't thrown you birds away I guess. JMO P.s. Besides it is for these very reasons why they have hardly had a chuck, let alone be fit enough to hold their own.
