Same boat, also with some two y/o's. Will take them 15 - 20 miles each direction. Probaly this season up to 50 miles of all points of the compass. Be nice to take them, then, every day depending on weather rotating the directions 20 miles a day. No need to try and lose any. With them race them as normal, picking the races I wish both North and South. Can't see any problems personally.

:-/ Now that Vancouver has won the chance to host the 2010 Winter Olympics, these are some questions people from all over the world are asking. Believe it or not these questions about Canada were posted on an International Tourism Website. Obviously the answers are a joke; but the questions were really asked! Q: I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow? (England) A. We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die. Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? (USA) A: Depends on how much you've been drinking. Q: I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto - can I follow the Railroad tracks?

Q: Are there any ATM's (cash machines) in Canada? Can you send me a list of them in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton and Halifax? (England) A: What, did your last slave die of? Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Canada? (USA) A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe Ca-na-da is that big country to your North...oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Calgary. Come naked. Q: Which direction is North in Canada? (USA) A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions. Q: Can I bring cutlery into Canada? (England) A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do. Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA) A: Aus-t ri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is...oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Vancouver and in Calgary, straight after the hippo races. Come naked. Q: Do you have perfume in Canada? (Germany) A: No, WE don't stink. Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Where can I sell it in Canada? (USA) A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.

Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Canada, but I forget its name. It's a kind of big horse with horns. (USA) A: It's called a Moose. They are tall and very violent, eating the brains of anyone walking close to them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking. Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (USA) A: Yes, but you will have to learn it first.

Yep and Straw can get a stuck in or damage the eyes. Also as a Tube, lots of undesirables can live in there .... micro wave straw etc. for a minute first if you must use in nest boxes.

Getting away from the missis ... wanted to clean the nest bowls ... left in garden since last season so know they are virus free. Missis moans because I want to put them in the dish washer! :-/ ;D ;D

Of course they are... same % as reds, blues, chequers etc. are winners, and as fast, Streuth be saying, like heard before as they are white they need to eat more Barley or whatever. Mind they may, like white grizzles etc. reflex the sun away from their body like... open to debate of course, white being a reflective colour.

I'm a treacle bender... Did a long apprentice for it, was 100's of course wanting to go on the courses. I bend treacle into tins to make it fit snug and tight!

P.s. I like your loft.

Not far from you... but cheaper than petrol to buy a few... However, the best, and a great nest bowl is to simply place two bricks at right angles. Then both are always close and happy, contented. Better than clay bowls... and better than the carboard ones I believe.

Ditto, and we will again rise like the pheonix. Mind Casbri, I won't mention if you don't, that this is suppose to be a 'pigeon Site' lol :P ;D ;D ;D ;D

A 'Short' Joke.... A woman was helping her husband set up his computer and, at the appropriate point in the process, she told him that he would now need to enter a password. Something he could remember easily and would use each time he had to log on. The husband was a bit bored by the process and, feeling in a rather amorous mood, figured he would try for the shock effect to bring this to his wife's attention. So, when the computer asked him to enter his password, he paused for effect, then letter by letter, with his wife watching over his shoulder, he keyed in ...... P E N I S His wife fell off her chair laughing when the computer replied: PASSWORD REJECTED....... NOT LONG ENOUGH An Israeli doctor says 'Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for Work in six weeks.' A German doctor says 'That is nothing; we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks.' A Russian doctor says 'In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can Take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks.' The Texas doctor, not to be outdone, says 'You guys are way behind, we recently took a man with no brains out of Texas , put him in the White House for eight years, and now half the WORLD is looking for work.' Two old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting on their usual park bench one morning. The 87 year old had just finished his morning jog and wasn't even short of breath. The 80 year old was amazed at his friend's stamina and asked him what he did to have so much energy. The 87 year old said, 'Well, I eat rye bread every day. It keeps your energy level high and you'll have great stamina with the ladies. ' So, on the way home, the 80 year old stops at the bakery. As he was looking around, the lady asked if he needed any help. He said, 'Do you have any rye bread?' She said, 'Yes, there's a whole shelf of it. Would you like some?' He said, 'I want 5 loaves.' She said, 'My goodness, 5 loaves... by the time you get to the 5th loaf, it'll be hard.' He replied, 'I can't believe it, everybody in the world knows about this but me.' A foursome of men is waiting at the men's tee while another foursome of women is hitting from the ladies' tees. The ladies are taking their time. When the final lady is ready to hit her ball, she hacks it ten feet. She goes over and whiffs it completely. Then she hacks it another ten feet, and finally hacks it another five feet. She looks up at the patiently waiting men and says apologetically, "I guess all those f--king lessons I took over the winter didn't help." One of the men immediately responds, 'Well, there you have it, you should have taken golf lessons instead!' He never even had a chance to duck. The Back Pew A pastor's wife was expecting a baby, so he stood before the congregation and asked for a raise. After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck. After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's expanding salary. A great deal of yelling and inner bickering ensued, as to how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church, and how much more it could potentially cost. After listening to them for about an hour, the pastor rose from his chair and spoke, "Children are a gift from God, and we will take as many gifts as He gives us. Silence fell on the congregation. In the back pew, a little old lady struggled to stand, and finally said in her frail voice, "Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers." The entire congregation said, "Amen." Two Nuns are riding their bicycles down the back streets of Rome. One leans over to the other and says, "I've never come this way before." The other Nun whispers, "It's the cobblestones."

Our Fed have past Y/b's with Y/B'S rings on as eligable to fly from End of June. Wasn't at one time allowed to take prizes etc. just the card. Then hardly ever sent.... I wonder why!

Would suit me. I pay over that for one club ... and weekly prices in another North Rd. club. now If I paid justrt tha for one... and club fees only at another, then I'd be qiddies in. Golly if the two clubs took it in turns to charge individually for birds on rotating years then every second year one would really be putting ome monies together. But that will never happen.... because (Unlike ME) they'd only send in the club who's turn it was for one off payment. If one gets my drift. Obviously both clubs wouldn't be able to charge the one payment... but club Fees only and then if only 15p a birds sent in that club... it would go straight into the coffers. Niether club has duplicates here... indeed can't of hand think of any now thy do. Rusden and Irthingborough both now defunct. As is Kettering and One Corby club and Fidon, A Wellingborough, and... bit depressive here, think I'll shut up lol.

He does. Tony W. has some of off him... Strain? Have to ask Tony. But he flew Barcelona, - I believe it was - this past season.

Picked this up from Karl Franks site... http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00790998 Also just leant that the German's apparently have to send the droppings to a Vet etc. in a Goverment ruling ... most I should think just send the Best selection and substitute any poorer ones at the time with these also. So thought and idea in theory is good... in reality another complete waste of time as far as I'm concerned. JMO could be wrong :-/

Are these being autioned or 'Highest' first come that is acceptable? :-/

Think at days' end, they are still pigeons. OK cultivated and groomed to a family. But what really gets me is the 'Modern Strains' etc. and saying as 'Was ok then! But now you need...' etc. Well those you need now, wer bred and cultivated from the very strains that you are supposedly not needing now! :-/ :-/ :o

Well will be, like most, extremely suprised if we - England - win another game except perhap Italy again.... Unless of course Itlay have improved so much the beat, or at least run close the other nations. Still suppose we will -- YET again, be the only home nation to fare well again in the 'World Cup'!... It's called saying the best till last, or really 'Saving the Best when it matters'! eh!!! ;D ;D

Me ... but was too shy and embarrassed to collect etc. AAaaahhhhh! :B :B

You know, sadly now, the camanco site was without doubt as good as site as any, without a shadow of doubt. Had posters every week insulted, had every week, many heated discussions. Also of course had every week posters moaning that 'Trouble makers' and such were ruining it, that it would be the demise of a great site. It was all baloney as they were there every week, indeed the bigger the argument, the more controversy etc. the bigger the membership and more postings. Sometimes of course the very same ones as were heatedly debating one topic was 100% together and backing each other on another subject. Even had a special topic of 'Roly's Ring' in a 'Private Sector’ where any member wishing to join that topic had to enlist another membership code to enter. Meant only those interested, or wanting to make points used it... golly it was busy. When anyone tried to answer on the Public site, was told to get it in the ring and answer it there, and not copy and paste under another heading to gain moral support. Some still wanted to moan about us of course, but it was all to no avail. When Billy Tailor, Scotty Reid - yes was from Scotland, and now in BC. Canada, etc etc left the site TH site diminished. Yet the amount of knowledge on that site was / and still is unbelievable. Some that took stick NOW say that they left because of it ... 5% that went to other sites and run it HOW THEY think is fit. It isn't yours, their’ site, it belongs to another person that puts the money up and mouth with it to run as they think fit and proper... and realistically those that aren't happy should just not read the posts of theses they don't like, or agree with mainly ... Or just go elsewhere! Certainly it is a cheek to infringe on others' rights of freedom of expression / speech to suit their OWN self-whims or what is wrong or wrong surely! Yes bad language, personally insults of ones family etc. isn't acceptable behaviour, and no one says it is. They wish to prolong their views that contravene the 'Rules and Ethics' of the site, behaviour in general is of course leaving themselves open to A. Not be tolerated and ignored, or at last result banned. This to me makes perfect sense. Many I converse with that would never be bedmates, doesn't mean for a second that sometimes the posts are very enlightening.

Think it's a good site as it is... must be it puts up with me lol ;D ;D And Asha, sorry I thought you were a mental case lol ;D ;D ;D

vallance lofts a small fortune then EH! I's a small fortune now, and getting every day to be a bigger fortune lol ;D ;D joking aside it's true really.

It doesn't matter if your the best or worst member, there's no need for creating bad feeling on the forum and to be honest there's enough bad feeling within pigeon racing as it is :-/ Agee 100% ... and thanks for sparing me the blushes and present lol ;D ;D

Personally I'd let the lice freedon to roam ... till have to take club as they moan in their ignorance. They are good for cleansing and keeping the feathers in tip top form. Ask a belgium if they de - lice!

Normally would have done that already lol.... But as the git is trying to compremise, Abeit to gloat and feel big with oneupmanship... I'd give him the chance.... just once.

Lol, knew it would get most at it... Daren't play it myself... might take a fortnight to get into double figues lol ;D ;D
