YO Yuk, Is that the same as Yukpalt

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University . On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the ground, killing him instantly. Probably wasn't the same elephant. This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming bullshit stories.

My ring number is roland gb08c28351 I believe ;D

Our Fed struggles to stop the vote for 195 being the the longest. 250 it is now, and many want an extra 100 or so miler. Gordon Bennett thay have 9 out of the 10 they want now! Selfish, senile and unbelievablely stupid ones. So now on the longest races we have another same day rave being yet another short one! Then they moan that they can't win the combine aveages... BECAUSE they don't send above 350 miles. Yet they - which is naturally right, buy in the distance birds.

An - no - key rules now, give the Raving monster and looney party their time deserved chance

Ah Bewted, ... Now thaere is a thing... Indeed must be a lot of scope for hope there lol ;D

Gosh look at what the yearling have done distance wise in the past ... Indeed just look at what the Aussies expect from their youngsters and yearlings... Most don't race anything older than 2 year olds I believe, but Le mut Tenner WILL no doubt correct and put that statement right I've no doubt.

Yes the Young birds I was referring to doing over 400 miles, most did it two weeks on the trot

In Canada, when I was over there, they did over 400 miles two or even three weeks on the trot... now folks are scared of 1 - 200 milers, and then 3oo as yearlingsm telling all and sundry that their birds would never get the 500 miles let a lone a distance race.... Yes they are right, because they will never be tried.

Yeah. I think the hat fits a treat... Mind have he down as a Hooray Henry Toty really, so .... ;D ;D

Ronaldo was so hot against Essieson.. granted he was first half till told to meet the ball with him... never got a look in from then on. Think he will struggle now and his feet over etc. are old hat. And certainly not a Big game player, like Rooney Still a great player mind. Besides Fergies shrewed, he knows what's what. There was some not on the bench even.. and that is like Hargreaves, Fergie don't want them playing for their ENGLISH side. Only thing I liked Ronaldo for... Told Fergie to get stuffed and went and played for his country. Mind be a great thing for England if Rooney wasn't there, especially buggering up our defence, getting sent of, and generally a big headed pain in the *expletive removed*... Like a few more. They don't give a monkey's because like they say 'We have our Farriers.

For next March... two rounds and a y/b season easy. Best to buy are 'Late Breds' and one can get some real bargains... Many of the ole timers when they want new blood do exactly that. Buy in late breds.

Remember once in the pub, and a mate said 'One Day a pint of beer would cost two pounds ... I was earning £3. 12/6 that's£3 65p. We laughed him out the pub...

In case some missed it ... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7435487.stm

The width is to stop Two on a perch...

Yep, me too, all the breast.

Miss ole Screaming Lord Sutch.

Simple mucker, just pointing out that it isn't three... but one, if two of your birds were back first one week after the other, but different ones, then if Jimmy's birds is back first for the next two weeks, then he would have beaten you, simpl ;De really shadow, even for you I thought

Salmonellosis is difficult to diagnose, even with the help of a good laboratory. Since salmonella are excreted only occasionally, one would need to send in dropping samples collected at various times. I realize that this is time and effort consuming but it's well worth it. Droppings Analysis: If you would like to know if your birds are well? Send in samples of your bird’s droppings and them analyze. On the day you plan on mailing the droppings to us, this is the best day to collect them. The freshest droppings is what we want. Go from perch to perch, collect some off the floor or in the nest box. Put these fresh droppings in 2 ziplock bags. We want a heaping tablespoon in each bag. Put these 2 ziplock bags in a padded envelope, available at the Post Office or office supply store. Do not mail the droppings in a regular envelope. We will have these droppings tested and in 3 or 4 days after we get the samples, we’ll call you with the results. It would be helpful if you could describe your pigeon’s health problems. If only 1 bird is sick, you can bet the others are also sick but not showing symptoms yet. An over abundance of Klebsiella pneumoniae are very often associated with Circovirus. Most avian Vets familiar with pigeon disease automatically look for this in young pigeons these days. If your Vet did not check the Bursa of Fabricius, you might suggest that he do so with one of your non-thrifty youngsters asap. I would be very surprised if this is not at the root of your problem. normally this is done post-mortem. If you have a youngster that seems weak, not thriving or obviously ill, I would take it to him. Ask him to specifically check for Circovirus. You may want to ask him if the last tests checked for Paratyphoid (Salmonella), Adenovirus, Herpes Virus, Paramyxovirus, Streptococcus, Coccidiosis, elevated levels of E-Coli, parasites or Orthinosis (Chlamydia). If not, have him do so with the new sample. Given your description above, I would strongly suspect Circovirus is the primary foundational culprit that is destroying the immune system of the birds and opening them up to secondary illnesses. Humans infected with this bug often have a compromised immune system due to other reasons. The only problem with a possible circo-virus infection is that there is no real treatment for it except supportive care like keeping stress levels as low as possible.

Are different altogether ... Mind niether is likely to show up in any droppings... Samonella has a slight chance when the moon is blue... is between the linings of the bird.

Not really Jimmy, Shaddow has three birds, not neccesarily the same one each time eh!

Kathy Evans, the single dumbest contestant to ever get on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' NEW YORK - Idaho resident Kathy Evans brought humiliation to her friends and family Tuesday when she set a new standard for stupidity with her appearance on the popular TV show, 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.' It seems that Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, got stuck on the first question, and proceeded to make what fans of the show are dubbing 'the absolute worst use of lifelines ever.' After being introduced to the show's host Meredith Vieira, Evans assured her that she was ready to play, whereupon she was posed with an extremely easy $100 question. The question was: 'Which of the following is the largest?' A) A Peanut An Elephant C) The Moon D) Hey, who you calling large? Immediately Mrs. Evans was struck with an all consuming panic as she realized that this was a question to which she did not readily know the answer. 'Hmm, oh boy, that's a toughie,' said Evans, as Vieira did her level best to hide her disbelief and disgust. 'I mean, I'm sure I've heard of some of these things before, but I have no idea how large they would be.' Evans made the decision to use the first of her three lifelines, the 50/50. Answers A and D were removed, leaving her to decide which was bigger, an elephant or the moon. However, faced with an incredibly easy question, Evans still remained unsure. 'Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!' exclaimed Evans. 'Darn. I think I better phone a friend.' Using the second of her two lifelines on the first question, Mrs. Evans asked to be connected with her friend Betsy, who is an office assistant. 'Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!' said Evans, wasting the first seven seconds of her call. 'Ok, I got an important question. Which of the following is the largest? B, an elephant, or C, the moon. 15 seconds hun.' Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon. Evans proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten seconds. 'Come on Betsy, are you sure?' said Evans. 'How sure are you? Puh, that can't be it.' To everyone's astonishment, the moronic Evans declined to take her friend's advice and pick 'The Moon.' 'I just don't know if I can trust Betsy. She's not all that bright. So I think I'd like to ask the audience,' said Evans. Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98% in favor of answer C, 'The Moon.' Having used up all her lifelines, Evans then made the dumbest choice of her life. 'Wow, seems like everybody is against what I'm thinking,' said the too-stupid-to-live Evans. 'But you know, sometimes you just got to go with your gut. So, let's see. For which is larger, an elephant or the moon, I'm going to have to go with B, an elephant. Final answer.' Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one waiting with bated breath, and was told that she was wrong, and that the answer was in fact, C, 'The Moon.' The other one was actaully asked what is GEARGE Bush's first name. Final answer after doing as above Edmund.

Didn't birds clash 40 - 50, 30, 20 years even 10 years ago! Feel it is another lame clutch here. Was 127,000 fanciers in the 50's, if the average of 10 was sent via each that's 1,270,000 birds zig zagging all over the pale, and very few losses. Was norm that old birds had to make may for y/b's each each... if to keep a perch, let alone breed. Most not back on the Night worked back over the next day or two... mostly were on loft top early morning. Yes we send nigh a million for starters I suppose with all this big time crap, breeding to compensate losses... or hoping one will be on song and score... rest can be fobbed off.

There ... Dovescot that picture that you put up is not Para... If it was, must lofts would have been emptied by now.

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600 employees and has the following statistics ? 29 have been accused of spouse abuse 7 have been arrested for fraud 19 have been accused of writing bad cheques 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses 3 have done time for assault 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit 4 have been arrested on drug-related charges 8 have been arrested for shoplifting 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits 84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year Which organization is this ? . . . . . . It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.
