SAeems to me this thread is crap, and going nowere, for Pete's sake end it!

No plonker lol

See Kettering had a draw, may yet continue the great runs of the F.A. They incidently have the record for the most goals score in the F.A.

Yes I remember your last post as such. I also do this when I get a round TUIT.

F.A! It proves every season it's wieght in gold and what a great institution it has become. Still the very essence of English football I believe. Nothing is ever quite like it. every fan has an interest nigh till the very later stages as older, or new favourites are made... but still loyal to their' CLUB until and after they are knocked out. Yes they straight away PERFER'another team as opposed to ... Great!

Agreed, and even progess. They are on fire at the moment, no doubt about that. Topping till yesterday the Blue Square league - Burton albion took over as Histon didn't play, but are still 2nd. I believe young Cloughie is still at Burtain ... A most ender estimated player with great awareness and and touch. Indeed feel - like many no doubt - that he would have played for England a few more times if not an anti 'Ole Bighead' brigade... certainly deserved to.

Don't need much explaining really... has to be contained within the actual Loft / or a flight.

Well in reality I suppose that Thistles is good. Every single part of the thistle is edible, and contains great benefits. Only hear tale of a two fancier that ever used it.

241. The antennae of the ETS must be fitted within the confines of the loft or trapping systems, not underneath external landing boards. Club officials may make random checks at any time. Contravention of this rule will result in disciplinary action under rule 70A. Now that is how I thought it was yonks ago. The word 'Confines' as to 'Confined' has a different meaing of course. Now the second part makes no bones of exactly how they should be... or more importantly SHOULDN'T be. I.e. not underneath external landing boards. Was the arguement , and rightly so in my oppinion, that with the Pad under an external Landing board a bird could land, and te fly upto the roof for 10 minutes or whatever, but still be timed in. Whereas of course 99% of manual clockers have to catch their birds to take of the rubber, and that means handling. Never mind the rot that 'I can catch them in the garden... thaey could land on me etc. etc. we ned to be talking realism here.

Get a bottle of tonic from Tescos / a pick me up and add to the drinkers. A mite dear at £2 odd, but well worth it. Feed Tic beans or at least maples only with 3 peanuts a day .... definately no more. If not vastly improved... then often your first lose is your best lose. JMO

Yeah ... and to think how I had to fight, with help from Albear to let him stay when many, indeed very many wanted him banned for his views and rants - so called lol ;D - about another site and a couple of other posters there, before he had hardly got on. Yes he did give them some wellie lol, and yes was a mite blunt shall we say.. Yes I think he has been a good poster here, and further am glad that he is enjoying sharing and learning like most of us . P.s pesonallt can't stand the sight of him lol :P ;D ;D Good to have you here Vic. Just goes to show, so lets hope that we have the same regards for all new members, and some old ones too eh!

Well idiot or not, he does have a lot of basic sense there. Mind everyone to their own.

Besides Louella there are a few I know of that sell abroad, including Belguim. Indeed Louella are worldwide. Remember the late great Frankie George was exporting and importing from China and Japan in the mid 50's. and you are talking crate loads at a time.

...as long as no one in my Fed etc. buys them. Isn't that a sad fact Mark... hence why hoping :-/ ;D ;D Any way I off to Dereham to do a Fund - raiser and feel that I personally - yet again have exhausted my views, thoughts and fears. So hopefully, to amke a change, I will be able to read and not bother to post on this subject any more.

For starters, once the birds constition is damaged, so is the birds in my belief full stop. Simple as that. Just like a cup that is brimfull you can't add anything to. Likewise, regardless if symtoms don't show any damage, it is because what is left is arguably not full or shows no signs, and appears cured. Yes may well do that. However Samonella and Herpes Virus Paratyphus, ETC. need extra tests that are very rarelt done, or many can't. YET this are often the ones that are carried undected. I, like you, have no idea whether ant autopsies, or certain other tests needed were carried out. Hence that is no more that 'Blind Faith' and at best conjecture on behalf of those 'Wishing and Hoping'. Yes that is their choice... as long as no one in my Fed etc. buys them.

Fine, both Fair Play and Pigeon Dave, and a few others of course I respect your views, and your entitlement to view and hold them. However I must ask that you please remember these posts of yours, because sadly - I have no doubt - you will be asked to recall them to mind. Indeed, I daresay, quite a few times when similar threads and views are posted, especialy when lesser mortals and non names are calledto account via such as your selves.

Apparently only because they are free to send lol ;D ;D

No problem with the post ... but hought there was an 'Unwritten' agreement' that these were to go under the headings of ' Good stories' and 'Bad Stories'... nicer to read through and compare that wat. JMO

I wasn't talking of ybs... indeed never even seen that mentioned!! and well you know, more like the Quote from a Dutch fancier ' i asked about this illness his replie was Ecoli-Bacteria,Adeno Herpes Virus Paratyphus ' etc. end of quote. If a decent flyer had that in your club you'd be moaning about them sending their birds to tha races, let alone in the same basket. And I've never, like a lot more in two of the clubs I am in, had YBS. and these birds have flown right through programs ...

oh yes, that is my sense of humour...

Change the feed mate ... I reckon they prefer Dog or rabbits ;D lol

I wonder why :-/ ... at this rate it will hit epicdemic proportions. Most well known regarded fanciers wouldn't entertain their own if this even if it was in their lofts. They'd say, never be no more good as a racer. Definately no good to breed from, and realistically they'd give you a wry look as if your bonkers and spread empty hands being polite and say 'Why risk it'! Why indeed. Further, please, please no more clap trap about 'Names' and their' honesty etc., that went out in the year of dot. It happens every week, greed, off shooting.. Time some woke up and smelt the coffee. I know for example two fanciers often spoke of in the highest estemm on here - No they aren't posters on here. Both sell 'Old stock' that they haven't raced for years... One made a great name for a certain 'Strain / family' and THAT was way before they were ready. Yes another family did the honours, but later the second family did do well etc. He will tell you so him self if asked. Another fell out with a certain fellow because he refused to seell him any more birds. Why, the answer was 'Never given credit. The fancier replied. 'Well I can't, I have to sell my birds ... '- which incidently hadn't raced for years, ut were still taking the credit.

Golly, how old is Bob then :-/

Budgie and Sue enjoy the site, you are both welcome and that's for sure. P.s. Save me creeping to much... let me know when the culls are ready to be sorted lol ;D ;D Love the mealy, besides a few others.

Often used Nobivac, but mostly colombovac. Times seems that I have had what a club uses at the time as they inject mine - not a member of their club though - as they get a better price the more they buy. Must say that it is nice to see the 'Sites' put up too as they may well be more than useful... never used them two of course.
