Been done for quite a while now. Also our fed allows y/b's to fly with the Old Birds last 2 or 3 races. Simple reality is that a y/b WILL beat a old birds time after time. It is glory seeking for cards etc. I personally don't like it, but then who am I... It also make a farce of the old timers, and still some to day, that put hens in with youngsters to 'Show them the way home' Our convoyer stated - when we sent youngsters as trainers in the South Rd. club, that the young birds were up away way before the old hens / cockbirds

Don't see why not. Jackson was doing over a 1000 miles with them a hundred years ago. Canada have them flying back to back, even three weeks on the trot nearly over 400 miles as young birds. Had a nearly 4 month couple do 469 miles...

walterbmasson it is sadly worldwide... but agree with your post. Sorry to hear also P. Charlton.

The £100 TATTOO Larry gets home late one night and his wife, Linda, says, 'Where in the hell have you been?' Larry replies, 'I was out getting a tattoo.' A tattoo?' she frowned. 'What kind of tattoo did you get?' 'I got 2 x £50 notes on my penis,' he said proudly. 'What the hell were you thinking'? she said, shaking her head in disdain. 'Why on earth would an accountant get a hundred pounds tattooed on his privates?' 'Well, one, I like to watch my money grow. Two, once in a while I like to play with my money. Three, I like how money feels in my hand. And, lastly, instead of you going out shopping, you can stay right here at home and blow a hundred pounds anytime you want!' Larry is now recovering in Ward 23 at the Royal Berks Hospital 'The Obedient Wife' There was a man, who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money, And was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife...'When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me.' And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him. Well, he died. L He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the eremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, 'Wait just a moment!' She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away. So her friend said, 'Girl, I know you were not foolish enough to put all that money in there with your husband.' The loyal wife replied, 'Listen, I'm a Christian; I cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket with him.' You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?' 'I sure did,' said the wife. 'I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a Cheque.... If he can cash it, then he can spend it.' A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program. The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck. She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me." Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later puffing and puffing, he finally gives up. The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens. On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised. He then calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program. The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me you can have me". Well, he's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape. Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program. "Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program." "Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years." The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, your *expletive removed* is mine." He lost 63 pounds that week!!

500 miles on a norm day is not that hard in reality. Yes Asha the NRCC (East Coast Club) is a joke. Not that you can knock the flyers... The instigators and Favoured few cliche yes. Was told by a Comittee man that could let up in a East Wind, because it would blow them into the mountains :-/ :o What a load of balony... But blowing them across the continent is fine eh! Also Why not the West side? r even more central libs... will never happen of course. Have done the Durham, Arbroth a couple of time... But is a Joke. Now any bird, especially a day bird in decent conditions that flies into Wales Devo / Cornwall from Thurso, Lerwick are blumming good birds. No two ways about that. And yes the North rd is far harder road tan South. East Rd is fairer to most.... but favoured Cliches make sure that will never happen outside of F & M indeed not even that now after OTHER names did well and the Usual location bought brigade weren't so hot... I'm why buy the place if they move the goal poasts eh! Won't happen again, no certainly not!

Also agree with walterbmasson. Mine have the fronts still open. The stock birds in the avery are real fine. Infact have a slight edge on the other three very well aireated sections.

Seldom if ever need anything else ... If do, time to consider if it deserves it's perch I believe!

Very interesting that!

Arguably our best Fed and Alma distance flyer is still with the Bussearts. Hursts Buessarts flew the Rome race, and mate Kev at Northampton also 1012 miles.

www.rvwoodcraft.co.uk Phone them and have a word... most competative lot I know of. Like Cowboy, never bought and made me own. And I am crap at handiwork.

Did as Norman Tebbit spout 'On yer Bike' .... So I peddled down last night on me bike and fetched it from Head Office lol Just 165 miles via road. Should have sent a pigeon I guess! ;) :P ;D ;D ;D ;D

Can't for a moment see why not! Crops full, doppings soft, with white etc. so nowt wrong there. I'd say yes for sure.

Froch hurts with every punch. They are heavy when 'Loose' and devasting hard and sharp when opening arises. That man Pascale will beat every other fighter at this wieght world wide and be a world champion.... Only man on plant to beat is Froch. Joe no chance ever. Eubanks - came out of retirement TWICE to fight Joe, and struggled to take of the extra fat he'd put on ... Collins now was a tough Man... Fought Eubanks in Chris's twilight time. Benn superb. Now let's face facts here. Great fighter fight ALLCOMERS. Many have great contemperies! Let’s face a few facts here. Greats fighters fight all comers. Duck no one. And certainly don’t boo – hoo or call other fighters, definitely NEVER belittle or deride other fighters. Unfortunately both Joe and Ricky do, and did. Shame on them! However, many, well in fact all! Showed true greatness by fighting the very best. Sandler v Pep, Frazier V Ali, Hearns v Lennard, Castillo v Harrado etc. etc. Nigel Benn and Eubanks etc. etc. and etc. the list is mouth watering and great memoirs. They went and beat the best, very often, like Honeygan / Benn, Eubanks in their own back gardens. Berkley, Currie, I NEEDN’T NAME AN ENDLESS LIST! It is far better as most recognised the saying ‘ As to who they didn’t beat’! as to how great they were / are. Who did Haggler duck? Who did any of them duck? Sure Dempsey and such did, but aren’t really true greats. Now are we to believe for a moment that a Manager, and a class one at that in Joe’s dad, can’t prepare a fighter to be ready and fight an opponent when supposed to! Of course not! How come Joe fought some great fights and won convincingly many time, when and where his hands were ok! He certainly never had any trouble then BUT never when down to fight 6 –7 at least great opponents that would have tested his mettle, skill, and / or greatness! Benn / Banks etc. did. Likewise great some foolishly try to compare with, Hagler, Monson, even Hearns /Lennard / Even greats that were blown up a few weights like Robert Stone fistDuran. No are we to forget greats like Grithis, Ray Robinson, etc. etc. Downes, Webb, Tiger. I think not. Here we had Turpins, Eubanks, Downes, Benn, who went and beat GREATS in their own back garden. Surely this is where the proof of the pudding lies. Further as one post said earlier, Never got the money … He would have, and a lot more too … But surely it is better to fight a ‘Has been name’ or two for a bout 50% more than what one fight would bring in, and get beat and loose the face, credit and name to fight for big pay days. Good management that. And Dad was very sensible in who he allowed his son in with and when. Never actually fought a great I their prime is the fact! Must say though in all honesty, that Joes father did right, was a great, no! is a great manager. Does his job so very well, which is to protect his fighters, make them money and allow them to be able to enjoy it! And above all, like Hatton, got the Press, media on board. Fantastic. Joe Bugner couldn’t for instance, nor Junior Witter, but were vastly better than the media ever gave them credit for. Likewise many more. Hatton wears his heart on his sleeve. Fights well. Is what you see, and certainly is a courageous fighter. Would he have beaten Dave Charnley, and 11 years unbeaten British Champion! Only Joe ‘Old Bones’ Brown stopped him being a world champion! Whom he beat of course later when Joe had just lost the title. Some rate him as good as Duran. I don’t personally, but then just after Charnley, Ken Buchanon as good as beat Duran… After Maurice Cullan. Certainly neither would have took a step back.

... But I still laugh lol Joe wanted to buy a motorbike. He doesn't have much luck until, one day he comes across a Harley with a 'For Sale ' sign on it. The bike seems even better than a new one, although it is 10 Years old. It is shiny and in absolute mint condition. He immediately buys it, and asks the seller how he kept it in such great condition for 10 years. "Well, it's quite simple, really," says the seller, "whenever the bike is outside and it's going to rain, rub KY Jelly on the chrome. It protects it from the rain." And he hands Joe a jar of KY. That night, his girlfriend, Sandra, invites him over to meet her parents. Naturally, they take the bike there. But just before they enter the house, Sandra stops him and says, "I have to tell you something about my family before we go in." "When we eat dinner, we don't talk. In fact, the first person who says anything during dinner has to do the dishes." "No problem," he says. And in they go. Joe is shocked. Right smack in the middle of the living room is a Huge stack of dirty dishes. In the kitchen is another huge stack of dishes. Piled up on the stairs, in the corridor, everywhere he looks, dirty dishes. They sit down to dinner and, sure enough, no one says a word. As dinner progresses, Joe decides to take advantage of the situation. So he leans over and kisses Sandra. No one says a word. So he reaches over and fondles her breasts. Still, nobody says a word. So he stands up, grabs her, rips her clothes off, throws her on the table, and screws her right there, in front of her parents. His girlfriend is a little flustered, her dad is obviously livid, And her mom horrified when he sits back down, but no one says a word. He looks at her mom. "She's got a great body," he thinks. So he grabs the mom, bends her over the dinner table, and has her every which way right there on the dinner table. Now his girlfriend is furious and her dad is boiling, but still, total silence. All of a sudden there is a loud clap of thunder, and it starts to rain. Joe remembers his bike, so he pulls the jar of KY Jelly from his pocket. Suddenly the father backs away from the table and shouts, "All right, that's enough, I'll do the f**king dishes!"

Down to fight them many times for the mega bucks ... never turned up to put it bluntly. Any way good luck to him and his new ventures, great manager, made a lot of money and a great name, what more could he ask for. Now going into TV presenter, and a Boxing promoter. I wish him again as much success as he had as a fighter.

Then he woke up and retired lol

Weer, might send over from the USA freebies ... still going strong there. lol ;D ;D

have others gone the same? Seems not, so as Asha would probably advise... don't mate her up, and give her plenty of air.... Between the neck and shoulders. Sure you may bolster her up. What for? to breed inferior races / stock. First loss is best loss I say.

Have to admit that I like and rate David Moyes. there have been quite a few great Scotish manager... like many other Nationalities.

i am only going by race results that i have done over recent years and roundabout hens have betten natural most times, Sorry was going via the bigger Picture. Seem more Natural winning in my three clubs too now. Some fly half season W/H then swith. Oldyellow was going on National results -especially the mid - distance, and see that Natural are dominate. Futher, the hen's achieving about twice as much again the sucess.

Ask Mark Gilbert, Louella foundation that won his Internation dax. Never mind what any / or other studs say or WRITER that spouts Espack etc. Double grandchildren and a sound foundation was / is formed.

ASsha, shut up for once. The fellow has answered, and put forward a vey fair reason etc. Including spouting his lack of knowlegde in this regards, and states further that he is quoting .... etc. So no problem there. Even I was rumoured once to make a mistake ... though that of course was a mistake o their behalf. But the fellow here has, and is being a clear as possible... Personally never knew ale flew Thurso or Lerwicke lol. Thought the Scots would have banned them... Though of course Lerwick is actually a part of England. So give the bloke a rest with your repeating the same blog. And as for insulting, well sure none evn thought that for a moment, but wouldn't even care, they, you and thoses that are interested know, and that is all that counts. Recall Bob Cooper winning the Gold Cup, and the cup came back with someone else's name engraved. Told they'd take it off and replace with his name the answer was 'Nah, no need to bother with that! I know, and any one who care to know knows. Think that is apt here, don't you.

Also, if ever you see a bird pecking and missing the pea or whatever it is aiming at. Don't uderstand why, but will quickly pick up the charcoal bits and very soon inded has no more problems.

Personally I perfer the hen...

And charcoal. You see for instance a Ad saying about Black Minerals, then stating mostly Charcoal and it's properties. Likewise many more.
