Yes Top men the pair of them.... no two ways about that.... (Can't stand them lol ;D ;D) Well done again.

Yes of course they will be replaced if asked / reported.

Happened in Belguim ... It seems there that they kept them and utilised a scam winning thing with them. Often takes two to cheat.... but not always.

Have sympathies with both views... Yes the RPRA do send letters out etc. and have to be sort / agreed action within two weeks... Futher Mikkey, was one slight thing, and No flyers quickly mention that they are 'Pigeon Racing' but general public. If this stance was stated, I'm sure hey would have acted very quickly indeed. Feel for you Mikkey, in as much as it must have felt a thnkless chore to you.

Of course you have to encourage of kick them out. Great sign that they aren't fit! When the batter the door aside and clap out like the clappers, then you ca start to train them. Fit birds train to get fitter.... No one or anything can train to get fit! You become fit to train!

Aye, and England struggled with the 'Ole School Tie' and the will to bend over bckwards - a lot farther than was ever necessary to be fair.... Why were we calld B;ighty I suppose lol. An endless list, like Colin Milburn that just use to hit anyone every where... First of they said they wouldn't play him because it wasn't 'Orthodoxed' and used incorrect batting technigues lol.... final gave him a couple of caps to keep the real grass root fans happy.... then the tragic car crash.

Plus Souness,and are you forgetting Gemmil, strachen, three awe inspiring midfield players... John Robinso was a great winger... and there are many more... unfortunately 1978 was a case where they had an whole side of 'Names' and class players.... never realy welded together as a team, like so many Scots, most great individualist... But like I often say just look at thr great sides that had Scottish fire in their half back / midfield.

An ole lame duck that has been laid to rest yonks ago is the A brit when wins etc. :( Seems some still find solace in such .... shame really. Guess like the last BBC Personality was a Scot, and VOTE for in the VAST main by the English. Like ALL scots / Welsh / Irish, they are ALL given credit for the birth rights, imaginary or real! maybe the Scottish comentator's are different etc. But down here as any from the Home nations abiding down here will tell you. Sad mucker, so sad! :(

Yes, and he'd better do as he's told... can be vert trying, but a good bat - tering will see us through.

Sometimes racers.... but really for keeping as stock, then quickly out crossing. Then if the out cross isn't suitable.... your back at the bottom with me lol :o ;D ;D ;D

About right... if the others are suffering, then as sure as hell it's constitution is crasse, Paper bag race only.... but doubtful. Never do any good as a racer - OK Highly unlikely. And not one any one wants to fill their loft with that kind of constitutions. As for the silly remarks about Baytril... well too stupid in my opinion to even talk abot. Further, what happens when bird immune system laugh at Baytril :-/ :-/ :-/ I believe that to many 'Ghost Birds' are being held together by such stuff.... No wonder when the wind blows at them they hide in churches and town centres!! :o

Who can hold England? :-/ Just look at the grand slam and triple crowns these girls have won! Regardless of what home country you are from, the English women surely deserve a slap on the back at least! And to think the currant side, like our English 'World Champion' cricket team, is so very very young. But isn't the real shame that women don't ever seem to get the same publicity for the same feat as the men :-/ [edit] Champions, Grand Slams, and Triple Crowns Champions: England 10; France 3; Scotland 1 Grand Slams: England 9; France 3; Scotland 1 Triple Crowns: England 14; Scotland 1; Wales 1 Home International Championship 1996 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 1997 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 1998 - Scotland (triple crown & grand slam) Five Nations 1999 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 2000 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 2001 - England (triple crown & grand slam) Six Nations 2002 - France (grand slam); England (triple crown) 2003 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 2004 - France (grand slam); England (triple crown) 2005 - France (grand slam); England (triple crown) 2006 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 2007 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 2008 - England (triple crown & grand slam) 2009 - England (champions); Wales (triple crown)

He knows... loves to ge the dozen as as you pointing it out like.... makes him feel wanted and important I guess :P ;D ;D ;D

Have heard a little and seen one or two, but are like rocking horse crap. ;D

Think you're be suprised what is in them so called fresh / clean waters that supermarket sell. Wouldn't hurt none for folks to do a search on google com to that and just what is in them. :-/

As I posted on another topic, this shows the way a 'Fancier' should be. The best Fed flyer In our Fed, and probably the Agmal, replenishes his' Bussearts regularly, about 3 years or so. Last two seasons, and he flies every race, and is without the top Distance man, he actually gives some back to the fellow he buys them off. He keeps 12 pairs now, a 'Mobb Flyer' in his eyes. All have to earn their corn, then their perch. YET Still has too many nigh every season. Adds in for the cross.... no inbreeding allowed here either. Untill recently, about 4 years ago he only ever housed 12 pairs. All had to fight for a place.

With out a shadow of doubt. And a lot more. Also must be the number one stockman. Then Louis Masserella as a stockman.

Too long I'd say. Use to be a time when many fancier only used the Water Butt' for watering... I once had a set up where the Water and feed was inside - well the front was a little out side of the Front upright. This but an outside lid that anyone could feed and water with out going into the loft. Water containe had a plug, where the pipe ran outside. Bit late for that I guess. So I'd let in have a key or whatever and fed and water every 2 - 3 days. So you wouldn't e harming the birds guts every day with tap water .... killing Good Gut bacteria. JMO. I'd say your missis is the one not too happy giving a key out. Many women folk are like that.

Feeding for the distance eh, may well be a reason birds never arrive home... or until that have been sorting themselves out to make it home. Sure pointer that should peeve some off is the condition that they acyually get home in! Too many brag how it looked times better than went sent :-/ :-/ :-/ Most should and will look back to normal a week later if in proper condition when sent. Another reason why the 'Lame Crutch' of so many are used. Not enough look at themselves, nor the birds that they have 'Bolstered up' their lofts with. I might add also, in my oppinion too many are quite happy for a 'Paper bag' to win. Fine says I if they are still winning a little further down the road, or a litle harder.

Frank Dooman has spent quite well there for birds I believe.

At the moment it is just his uncle flying. Whether any otjhers will start .... :-/ Anyway as Dean says, if you're gonna sell birds and RACE they have to win.... if not, don't race.

And Walter less birds better managerment. I had 5 brothers and three sisters. Ok families were larger a piece back. We got through, had a great tight nit and happy family as such. My Parents, Happy Violet and Smiling sam did the best - and did as others and what they thought best for the time... So yes we did well IN SORTS AND Parts!!! But you know, how much better would they / we have done with just 4 kids, or better still even 2. For example, ok so you passed your 11+ to go grammer, but you cant, we can't afford it, and so on down the line nigh every days... Indeed couldn't wait till the older brothers out grew their clothes so I could have something new lol. Likewise keeping pigeons I fear.

His son is about to start racing.... also hear that Dean is about to too. Am at the club tonight - 30 minutes infact, and will ask there.... Some live next door, and I'm just a bucket and spade away from Dean. I know saw in last weeks H World - or week before -either his uncle and with his Dad are racing.

There is a section at the Home page that runs you through how to upload a picture on here matey. Never done, but obviously many do. Hope this helps

When a man dies, the wife left behind is a 'Widow'. When a Woman dies first the man is called a 'Widower'! The system then is called 'Widowerhood' as it was mainly for the Cock birds being sent. Now the correct term of 'Widowhood' is when one is racing 'Hens'. This came about saying widowhood through sheer laziness in both speaking and writing.
