Well what was / is the best breeder? I personally think that Stamvater takes all the beating. Especially when one considers the amount of great 'Families' that derived via him. Aptedly named too, Stamvater meaning 'Producer' I believe.

Yep i lost some great birds too from Thurso this year. Only, as of now got 2 back out of 10. One hen won the Scottish averages twice on her own. Was, with her daughters only day birds in club two years back in one club, and 2 of her daughter were with one other only day birds in another club, when only 9 in total in Fed. Was a Delbar. Glad I have a little of her blood still in loft. Yes I too miss her.

remember taking Twilight out of it's pen when I was 12, it fetched the then new world record price of £625 I believe. Was owned by the King Brothers. Vic Ribinson's 'Home Alone' etc. But then one could consider the yearlings that have flown the 000 milers etc. List is endless of course. But Breeder, well I think Stamvater would take all the beating. JMOT

LOL, Whisky makes them agressive, and gin stunts their growth ... But must be careful as can't be reversed. MInd playing games for fun usually suffices. Knew a fellow that had dogs to guaerd etc. This were left outdoors of course. When around 6 months of so, someone, heavily cladded, would climb the fence, or go through the door - sometimes both if felt need be - and give the dog a little smacking.... When any one later in life walked througthe door, or climbed the fence, the dogs hardly murmurred till taking a bite or two. Very effective. But horses for courses and dogs for need as.

Very true Rose. Also getting them drunk as pups does wonders, One spirit drink makes them become there after vicious, and another spirit drink stems their growth. Also encouraging them.

The reason being that they go too quick to stop. When the Cat arc's it back and starts to threathen it is normally too late. Most dogs stop and walk around posteuring to save face. But no dog will beat a cat overhead, and if, as they will, a cats drops on it's back. the dog squeals and runs, often looses it's eye(s). Bad practise to allow, but any dog will go for dogs if encouraged and made as a game when young.

Said he wasn't racing old birds this season for ... anyway was breeding youngsters or next season like.

Jack russel, only take notice of one... and normally don't take to kids. Are a law unto themselves. Labrador has to be best all round I guess. Great gaurd dogs, which strangely enough why more are bitten by Labs than any other dog. People just know of their good disposition and naturally seeeem to put hand over fence, gate to stroke them. Of course they guard their territory. Great outside of teritory, and with kids always. But remember that ANY dog can and will be sorted big time by a cat when it deems a need to. They lituraully hop on a dogs back and claw at it's eyes. Dog can't get it off and just keeps running. Never so much as looks, let alone growls at a cat again. Take it from me, one doesn't want to se it happen to their dog. Besides No dog can climb up where a cat will and can. So they often arc the backs and warn, of just sit out of harms way and take no notice after a time. Now a cat can and will drive another cat away.

Can't get tic beens either. I like- personally a tic one day, a wheat and barley mix next, and groats, with a little rice next. Always a little linseed before each feed. Have to substitute Maples for Tic beans. Yes and one day a week, the fourth day a Canary and small seed mix. Trouble is if not careful they just want the wheat and barley mix. So awkward if Hopper feeding of course.

True Dovescot. Public eh! I was flogging on the doors yonks ago, when all around this cudesac people kept telling me, showing concern that I didn't knock a certain door... Husband was a wife beater with anti social and nasty habits. Yes you guessed it, got there and completely forgot from 30 seconds before etc. Lady came, I was polite, went through a quick rig ma roll and politely left and knocked the next door. Woman concerned if I had knocked her neighbours door… Which opened and man mountain stood there glowering at me. I asked to be excused and went and belligently asked if he had a problem, and did want to speak to me. He squared a little and asked if I'd knocked his door... I stormed him and said yes, He try to make out his wife was upset! I told him I had been very polite, and he was a liar, that it WAS him that was upset, and told him a few home truths, not least that the WHOLE green heard him bullying and beating her regular. Further, I stated he ought to buy from me... and gave him a mouthful. He sort of apologised and shot of in quickly closing the door. Typical bully… Golly wish I was 20 odd again lol. Some folks get a thing about 'Them being right' - as if hidden rights are attached, and automatically overstep the mark! Courtesy and etiquette with a splash of decorum works a lot better I feel. Yes, sure you are paying for a service, but crap happens, yet being civil, listening makes a lot more sense. Have never used any of these 'courier services' as of yet. Don't know which one I will use when I do, but expect a little banter and a cuppa will oil the passing like it did with Amtrack. Golly already seen a post wishing Amtrack back eh! Golly short memories! Yes today’s news is tomorrow’s history. I say let's them get settled and sort out their teething problems first before harpooning gets going. So one get's upset, so what!. Golly the birds suffer more on some hold over’s and in some folks lofts. Fine, if you happen to run a tidy ship, but reality stresses that not all and everything will always be hunky dory in the garden. Patience and understanding is needed here, or we may very well not have a courier at all! Remember just a few short weeks ago when Amtrack went to the wall and the fears relayed then. Might be them fears materializes soon way some are spouting.

You know, when a courier / delivery man makes deliveries, for examples, Wilko's Plumbs, Windows etc. etc. we have a sheet that says (Sometimes) Call when within 30 minutes or so. Not all of course and many Land lines and Mobiles. Times niether are answered is amazing. Amount of times no one is there is unreal! Yet it is always the 'Delivery man's fault. Some, believe it or not have left messages to the suppliers late at night to change the time to suit them. This is for a number of reasons. Had one ignorant git that said after I phoned him - when I was delivering that is of course 'Don't you listen to your answrer machine'! After trying to explain that the times are arranged the day before, and nowt to do with the drivers etc. he says 'Well I'LL BE ABOUT 2 - 3 HOURS now, so you'll wait till I get there'! I replied politely ‘Get expletive removed*** *expletive removed*, you can have it dumped on the road outside or phone for another time for delivery'. I was actually the driver’s mate and I did the phoning mapping etc. the driver was not too pleased lol. The geezer asked who the hell did I think I was talking to'? I said a brain dead moronic cretin that had brown round his mouth for spouting too much crap, and that I was not bothering to deliver any way, so he could get stuffed'! 15 minutes his daughter rang to apologise spouting it was her Dad and he was busy blah blah etc. etc. I said fine if you are there in 20 minutes in the garden when I drive by I'll stop, but keep thunder jaws on a leash. We went and I wasn't allowed out the lorry lol, and the cretin wasn't there. Moral is that too many think we have nothing to do all year, except on one or two occasions, to pamper to their’ wishes. My boss said I was right, but officially he had told Wilkinsons that I had been reprimanded .... they didn't believe that either, nor cared. Now if that geezer had said. 'Sorry mate thought you would be here at, as I had altered it etc.', then listen, I could have arranged possibly to go another way around to accommodate him. Not always possible of course, but would if possible.

How very true.... And I remember a few shooting me down for suggesting such a thing! But that of course meant I can back stronger. Indeed I was side swiped, even had a one or two stating reasons why I was talking rot and held it to ridicule. I email the persons(s) seeking advice directly and voiced my views.

Never be eradicated. Like the articles I posted before... Fanciers will continue to treat for Ecoli, or anything else willy nilly. So that in it's self means that your birds will often be in contact with other birds that are infected. Now, again, a mild infection (Like a Jab) often means that that bird won't show any ill effects, but could well soon be a carrier... Even again.

Ah that's the way to go eh! Now why would anyone want to pair a proven breeder to an unknown racer -Breeding wise. If the racer also was a proven breeder then you would be pairing to proven breeders ;D

;D :B lo the other quote came up only last time....

Still that is what a Socialist goverment would do... They do it to bail out their 'Mates' etc. . Don't get me started lol....... ;D

The least I can do as a true socialist. Makes one laugh thoiugh when the Capitalistic / Conservatist goverments bail out the 'Money' boys. For millioans at that.

This was actually advertised in A High Brow Finacial paper. (N/Y) I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York . My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden ( ? ) $250k annual income is not enough. I'm here humbly to ask a few questions: 1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym) 2) Which age group should I target? 3) Why most wives of the rich are only average-looking? I've met a few girls who do not have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys 4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married) Ms. Pretty Here's a reply from a Wall Street financial guy: Dear Ms. Pretty, I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyze your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believe that I'm not wasting time here. From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of 'beauty' and 'money': Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later. By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a 'trading position'. If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term – same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any asset with great depreciation value will be sold or 'leased'. Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advise that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has a better chance than finding a rich fool. Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in 'leasing' services, do contact me signed, J.P. Morgan

The first immunerisation is all important... why once a month for the first three months is apparently really needed. Know a good flyer that sold a pair of stock birds age 5 and 7 years old that went to Australia. Never raced or what not, just bred for Stock. One jab. Wasn't allowed in Aussie land as the vaccine was still very prevalent. So long story short, I question the jab every year approach... and enhance the 3 times within their first threemonths.

http://www.adnstream.tv/video/nilSqaMboM/HISTORIA-DE-UN-LETRERO-THE-STORY-OF-A-SIGN Is the cannes short film winner, well worth seeing to the end.

Always been the laws of Drunk inPublic place, Disorderly etc. Now it saves going court, just cough up and it's a lot cheaper.

Three women friends, one in a casual relationship, one en-gagged to be married and one a long-time wife, met for drinks after work. The conversation eventually drifted towards how best to spice up their sex lives.. After much discussion, they decided to surprise their men by engaging in some S&M role playing. The following week they met up again to compare notes. Sipping her drink, the single girl leered and said, 'Last Friday at the end of the work day I went to my boyfriend's office wearing a leather coat. When all the other people had left, I slipped out of it and all I had on was a leather bodice, black stockings and stiletto heels. He was so aroused that we made mad passionate love on his desk right then and there!' The engaged woman giggled and said, 'That's pretty much my story! When my fiancé got home last Friday, he found me waiting for him in a black mask, leather bodice, black hose and stiletto pumps. He was so turned on that we not only made love all night, he wants to move up our wedding date! The married woman put her glass down and said, 'I did a lot of planning. I made arrangements for the kids to stay over at Grandma's. I took a long scented-oil bath and then put on my best perfume. I slipped into a tight leather bodice, a black garter belt, black stockings and six-inch stilettos. I finished it off with a black mask. When my husband got home from work, he grabbed a beer and the remote, sat down and yelled, 'Hey, Batman, what's for dinner?''

True... But I personally believe, strongly that too many hang onto the shirt tails of so - called Names, and even defend them through thick and thin. Indeed, see a couple of 'Names' being asked a few reasonable, and relistically sensible questions, and they don't even HAVE to answer, Crap flys out the shoots and hordes surround and hollar most stupid, and atrocious things. And any and every horrid point draged up to conceed that the person asking a legit question is saddomised, called everything from Jealous, yes that silly ole potatoe is out first. Then crap about if you wanted to do the same you could... devoice the wife, kids, sell the home and move to a 'Prime Location, and borrow £200,000 like. I mean how dare that challenge such a great! And if a seller really wants to live on his past Glory(ies) he needs to just sell and not race.

And well done to You, Bewted, Jimmy etc.

Yep ;D
