  1. There we go, the bigot crap about the stupid trying to convert the converted needlessly.... about things not said, thought about let alone said. Yes Bigda you do have a problems... understanding seems one of them! LIKE the post is about eerr umm er 'Why do we climb out the woodworm and spout , try to defend with irrelevant crap whenever the ET is mention, whether good bad, indifferent or becuase the the topic actually states the post is about ''Why do we climb out the woodworm and spout , try to defend with irrelevant crap whenever the ET is mention, whether good bad, indifferent or becuase the the topic actually states when the post is about :-/ 'Why do we climb out the woodworm and spout , try to defend with irrelevant crap whenever the ET is mention, whether good bad, indifferent or becuase the the topic actually states when the post is about :-/ 'Why do we climb out the woodworm and spout , try to defend with irrelevant crap whenever the ET is mention, whether good bad, indifferent or becuase the the topic actually states such :-/ ... golly called inferior worried complex. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
  2. Again hold overs, and 'Time away' from loft does seem to, and is widely believed I believe that any incentive, motivation, is lost quicker by the widower birds.
  3. Well Albear, one part id proveable, Hens excell, and Natural because it is there in black and white. However, yes one can't look at the results and see what % are actual regards Sexes always. Yes often can too on some result pages.... But again only sexes shown means that what % widower and natural's are is hardly, if ever shown. So if the later one may well be right in thinking that 'Natural' out wiegh the widower's. Writes are imied also in that aspects, but often do state sex and / or system.
  4. Well Just Ask Me, that is a very fair and honest contribution. Gives the slant too, which most of us knew, that the better fancier through patience often gain a few very much appreciated seconds. Never heard of course the novice, lesser fancier complain nowtt though. Too many, unfortunately, have ruin protentially good birds at the traps through impatience myself included.
  5. Lets hope Sophia inherits the mothers looks though And her dad's wealth.
  6. E.T’s One gets peeved with the same ole repetitious out cry and the needless defence of the ET.s clocking and it benefits. We hear them regardless, whether relevant to the topic or not! Gosh just watch them come out the woodwork! Think about it! :-/ :-/ It make’s it easier, birds still have to home, never know how they use to cope with out one. Etc. etc. :o Yes please feel free to fill this page, and the next one up with the great benefits .... May be someone still in the 'Dark ages' that runs down the 2 mile lane to clock in their' mates!! Pss! Pss! Dumbo and friends hark here. THAT has never been in doubt, nor contention, Now THAT is a fact. And likewise 90% or more of the constant needless drivel that comes down the shoot with it! :B :B :B Some one says ‘A few have packed up, -Like Mike Lycett say – and states why ‘I don’t agree with the way it has been illegally forced through… Further I always said I WOULD PACK up if it came in’! Simple that eh! No, I remember like most honest posters here the crap scenarios they came up with that ‘WERE the real reason’! 'They were/ would have packed up any way'! :-/ :-/ May be they used the same crystal ball and saw their phlight and unfair advantage it would give the Et OVER those that could, can't have one! :( Or. They when thay say 'I can’t afford it…'. Codswallop abounds ‘You could if you wanted to… bet you still have a couple of pints, or more when at the club – Well I’ll bet he still has to pay his mortgage and clothe and feed the kids etc. WHILST trying to keep her in doors happy with out spending another £600 (with rings) to compete. then, it’s crap like ‘Well have less birds, get a partner etc. etc. Get a cheaper house eh! Stop the kids having football games, and designer wear!!! Etc. etc. eh!! Too many stupid crap scenarios abound with out even bothering to write 40 or more here. But the ‘Pro Mob still offer stupid sayings like how to clock faster and better to be as quick time 6/ - 10 – 20 birds that land and go in as one! Now a good fancier asked this season regards a real close finish… a fraction of a yard! ‘If I had a ET would I have won’? Well for anyone interested the answer was ‘Nigh certainly. AND he goy his’ bird home. Never mind silly excuses and reasons, if two / three lofts are nigh a side of each other, and they all trap at same time, time they reach up to the stall trap, they next lofts have 6 or 10 a piece! WHICH happens week in and week out especially in fast time, A birds doing 1760ypm will travel a quarter of a mile in 17 seconds, and regardless of silly crap, a manual clock takes that. Plus the very real fact that every week a bird gets handle, the chances increase that they get trap shy. Fact! Otherwise everyone would be able to rightly say ‘Never heard of, let alone a pigeon becoming trap shy’ just an over eager split second can even cause it! Fact. So you say ‘Try harder and do more to better the competition! Pss! Pss! Dick head the opposition don’t, nor haven’t let up because they have a ET timer! Nor have they taken the foot of the pedal to let the manual clock a bit of leeway. FAR from it, if anything they are even more keen, and far more keener quickly that the Manual clock that should get a few cards, but is getting none. 6 birds each adjacent lofts 12 all land together and shoot through the traps. Whereas once the first 5 places could be fairly divided up, now the Et timer has the first 6 and the once card haver has none. So please no more stupid remarks about Getting birds home and the ET won’t help, that is a down right lie! No more silly spats about ‘Do as I do and buy one’ Many – especially those with Mortgages, kids CAN’T. But then you all know that! Just some don’t want to have it acceptable because it doesn’t SUIT their’ purposes. Finally Neve bother to tell the manual clocker the benefits of the ET! They know them only too well. :-/ :'( :'( Yes, regardless of it's undeniable benefits, it is unfair till everyone has it, and it will- has already- having a great price laid upon it with so many packing up. Yeah some may well have... and the ET just swung the balance to pack up. Now that is sad in this sport when, like many other, it needs every member, help it can get, and many other sports / past times are 'Home, Less chores, caring and time consuming at a LOWER cost to the pocket, and dare I say it to the family.
  7. Yep, Canary is more easy to get price wise, and quantity here. Never used Trill, would think because it is ready boxed be a lot dearer...?!

    Actually it Politicians are only partly to blame. Britain is for example still 3rd in overseas investments. Tony Benn - for instance - made a law that any money ploughed back into the company for better working condition, expansion, etc. etc would be 'Tax Free' but had to be in this country and benefit OUR workers... Of course the Tory goverment re worded it and Over seas was also counted. Hence cheaper for wheat from Kenya, etc. etc. Why we had to to close mines and steel works etc. so the Rich oversea's invest from HERE made vastly more profis... Mind untill the 60's- 70's we were the world's largest overseas investers. Why we fought Argintina, not for so called soveriegnity, but so we could put up strategic Forts to stop any one tapping up our minerals, gold etc. ... Yes the only way to take quanties is via ships... So it is really down to greed I uppose. Like the Polish that are going back in droves are now complainng that 'Their' jobs are being taken by the chinese imagrants.... lol

    Service

    Innocence is priceless, One sunday morning the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer of the church, staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names and small British flags mounted on either side of it. The six-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up and stood beside the little boy, and said quietly,'Good morning Alex'. 'Good morning Pastor' he replied, still focused on the plaque.'Pastor, what is this? The pastor said,'well son, its a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service'. Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque. Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear asked, 'Which service, the 8:30 or the 10:45?'

    UK If the British Government sent each and every one of us a £600 Rebate - as was done in the U.S of A. once via Reagan, and (incidentally worked very well and got the money moving around). If we spend it at Tesco’s and Co., the money will benefit China. If we spend it on Petrol, the money will benefit Arabs. If we purchase a computer it will benefit India If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will benefit Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala If we purchase a car, it will benefit Japan or Mexico, or Germany. If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the British economy. The only way to keep the money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes, weed, beer, rye whisky and tattoos since these are the only products still produced in Britain. Lol Just Joshing as this is definitely not the case.
  12. That's why I like mine flying out well, 10 day to 2 weeks before, clears any INNER fat. That is most important. Mell well leave them split why they do the first part, and then mix them 10 days after they have been flying out. Never use to split the sexes, and they flew out everyday, and mated up naturally end of March / April. Two rounds were ample. First year restricted their flying out. have to see what is what like, and still haven't planned when I'll mate them up! Will mate the stockbirds up after Blackpool week I think.
  13. true... P.s casbri me ole mucker, on chit chat they are posting about alsorts... and vastly unrelated to pigeons! Just thought I'd let you know lol ;D ;D ;D
  14. If one looks at the National, and Fed results of distance and hard races, one quickly realises, or should, that Natural win by far the most ... and hens far moreso than cock birds. So in reality it has to be late mated Natural. Cocks will win the easier ones, and hens the worthwhile ones- the ones remembered and really matter as against just 'Matter'.
  15. Well done mucker... now you have a reason to get up earlier... feed the pigeons first, let them out etc. and then feen the baby! Often, on a serious note, the reseaon the pigeons improve, because of a enfored change of system etc. Good luck.

    An old Scot

    An 80-year-old Scotsman went to the doctor for a check-up. The doctor was amazed at what good shape the old fellow was in and asked: 'How do you stay in such great physical condition?' 'I am Scottish and I am a golfer,' said the old fellow: 'and that is why I I'm in such good shape. I am up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways. I have a wee glass of whisky, and that's it.' 'Well,' said the doctor, 'I am sure that helps, but there has to be more to it. How old was your Dad when he died?' 'Who said my Da's deid?' The doctor was amazed. 'You mean you are 80 years old and your Dad is still alive. How old is he?' He is 100 years old,' said the old Scottish golfer. 'In fact he golfed wi' me this mornin', and then we went to the topless beach for a walk and had anither wee dram and that is why he is still alive. He is a Scot and he is a golfer, too.' 'Well,' the doctor said, 'that is great, but I am sure there is more to it than that. How about your Dad's Dad? How old was he when he died?' 'Who said my grandad is deid?' Stunned, the doctor asked, 'You mean you are 80 years old and your grandfather is still living! Incredible, how old is he?' 'He is 118 years old,' said the old Scottish golfer. The doctor was getting frustrated at this point: 'So, I guess he went golfing with you this morning too?' 'No. Grandad couldnae go this mornin' because he is getting married today.' At this point the doctor was close to losing it. 'Getting married!! Why would a 118 year- old bloke want to get married?' 'Who said he wanted to?'
  19. Have we agreed a closing date / time eh! ?
  20. Without a shaddow of doubt. Top flyer in our fed has them. Won the big ones more than once or twice last 4 years! 3 times Almg Lerwicke.
  21. Bred a winner first year! £35
  22. As you know Jason, Franks has as good as anyone Cessearts... indeed argueable some of the best birds within this continent of many strains. Further of course he won the King's Cup with a Cesseart and just after 2nd National from Thurso. I have bought quite a few from Frank these last two seasons, and am as of now morethan happy, so I know that cock bird is well worth more than £30.
  23. Golly can't believe some of these posts. Was feeding Barly / wheat, a kittle maize. Linseed tib bits a little sometimes. Most droppings in the afternoon Nut brown etc. some green. Added Tic beans... same. Now fully tic beans and mostly green, which will be till system settles again. (will be for around 3 weeks unless gets cold, then will add Carbs to give them inner heat). Two tone geen slime even with mixed in white. No worries, as this may be one of umpteen reasons. Definately no probles, and certainly no call fo, for a vet. Check the tempretures for starers etc. etc.
  24. Start you off at £20 leave open till say Wednesday Night 9 00 O'Clock eh?
  25. I think one is also missing a couple or more of other things that affect the colour, condition - for want of a better word - . I.e Like TIME dropped. Weather. change of diet etc. etc. Droppings at say 4 in the morning will be totally differnt than 4 in afternoon etc.
