Poor pick then .... but I guess to get one back from all them sent this year, if even this late in a season, must have made your day eh! :'( :-/ :-/ : : ;D

Seems a regular occurrance now... and the in between years the letter in the rag etc. tellinhg us of the price rises comng.

That is not what I stated ... the point was as you can well see that the Europeans are clambouring to get here, and not just the eastern europeans.... But we need another 3 million to put right the damage the last tory goverment did apparently... besides giving the jewelry away, they tried to force 'Private everything from Medicene to insurance... and STOPPED training Nurses / doctors / Dentist etc. etc. to important so called trained overseas 'Workers' for cheap labour... Have tried to get a dentist when in dire pain with a tooth ache!!!

No, remember well just a few short years ago when sky needed the birds up from France, and everyone groaned... was a terrible smash and Sky losted interest immediately/.... what did we gain! Nothing if only a lesson, and that was truely impressed upon one ... or was it! Can't believe how short memories are when convienient ...

HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them.' 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. 3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's. 4. Enjoy the simple things. 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. 6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive. 7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge. 8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help. 9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is. 10.Tell the people you love that you love them , at every opportunity. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. And if you don't send this to at least 8 people - who cares? But do share this with someone. We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!

LOL

Paulo stop whinging, When you spout things like ... You pay a hell of a lot of money out to the gov get nothing back and watch as special interest groups and minorties get money thrown at them like its going out of fashion...' . you sound like a 'Wannabe free - loader! Pay your dues, which are a lot less than many, the USA included, where 2/3rds actually suffer malnitrition and the others are obes robbing the poor, where you daren't have a tooth ache, let alone need a hospital, for that is a hell of a insurance premium ... This world owes you nowt, you came in with nothing and it's upto you, HERE at least ( Now the tories are out!) you have the chance, but trhis world doesn't owe you or anyone else a living. Get out and work and save and be sensible, EVERY where has to pay their dues, so stop bleeting!

That true of course .... thats why the europeans are knocking our doors down clambering to get in!!! Like heckers thay are better off, love to know what sings and round abouts you are referring too¬ Germany Skint. France gone bust, the rest here sending money home!

Yes Fantail look great and will rear y/b's etc. but they are a very hardy bird and are often full of stuff that will and does knock racers side ways. Even treated the same. Make sure they have a GOOD and Acruact bill of healthy from a responcible and respectable sauce before you even let them near your birds....

Never hear much now onhere ... what's the latest? Is it still a go go?

No, better the Devil you know. And in reply to Blackjack about goverment intrusion, yes LIKE all goverments. Many ole timers, and my missis etc. say silly things like 'They want to know the ins and outs of a Donkeys' behind.... But I'm not telling them... etc'. Yes true possibly, but they ALREADY know and you are merely confirming! 1972 my brother applied for a visa to visit america, within 3 days got a reply 'Sorry denied, too political! No this country takes all the beating, a great Martial law we live in and most never realise.

Yep ... and just remember how bad it was under thatcher, and the rest of the Tories.... Certainly apt when it was stated 'Never have so many given so much to so few'! Then after closing Mines etc. Steel works for her Matey Benefactors' with their over seas investment, and given all the wealth away they sold all the family jewalry - which belonged to the 'People' and I'm still waiting for my share of the dosh ' to pay herslf out of trouble! By heckers like it makes one wonder about all the dispicable, under handed and oft probable untruthfullness of this goverment, just how bad it was before that these are still a clas above that shower, for in honesty nowhere near as bad as them charlentans!

No.... because we can't afford the risk that means birds will be liberated to accomondate their TV spaces etc. when they should never be released. Has happen too often that! and realistically ONCE is too much!

It's a Beer mucker, Bear come by the LB lol. ... and Skin of course lol. 8) : ;D

Well Rocking good luck and may you find a decent replacement .... say Morris Dancing or something to occupy your lonely days. Serioiusly all the best and keep looking, something is sure to turn up!

They do a good and thakless job. Personally I am glad I'll never be asked!

Sorry to say I never knew... and more importantly couldn't have gone anyway due to work committment. But I rate him personally as a honest seller.

Never mind the rest.... the UK is the best for true sport ... Ireland on parr with the Sea as well. Yes Belgium may have heaps swamping the same plot with birds about 12 feet high .... but to test the metal, Ireland or the UK are as good as any in the whole wide world. Makes one laugh when pne sees a fancer that has moved and BOUGHT his position / location say 'Well to Belguim to compete with the best ... when really if they bought a plot in the WEST side and THEN won regularly out of turn, YES He would have achieved something, something special, for very few have, and a lot more daren't even try,

Tammy I have birds that I couldn't give away, let alone sell ... it would break me heart lol.

First off I feel that when one doesn't get the results, or feels that the birds aren't upto the job, then they cover their disapointment via putting the Seller at the top of the list as to why. This tends to enlarge and covers their own inadequatcies that they feel with the 'Should have known better' syndrome. But personally I have a little time to none for more sellers than not!

If I'd own 'Shegar' I'd probably have hire him out at the seaside for 20p a ride... One has to face up to the fact that 'WE/They are not the best of managers, and that it is only waver thin sometime the line of sucess and failure... Had a good mate that said once. 'Roly have these birds of mine, then you will be sure that if they don't do the goods ... then it's you and not the bird'! Yes like many I was / am often worried that I haven't / didn't give the birds a fair shot at the task' Now I know it is .... sometime a bit of both. At at the back of my mind I always remember though the adage ' Where there is money there is crooks' Couple with the common sence that when a person buys in and tries new stock... if it is his old stock, or a different stock that is doing he honours, he may well be off loading the crap to get his money back .... So I am more happy in buying the 'Blood' and then know it is down to me!

About £3 50 here abouts, likewise wheat, -barley.

Squirrels are RODENTS and classed as Vermin, which of course they are. They adapt to eat anything, and are great little scappers. My mates terrier - who's a game keeper - has more scars and hard fights with them than anything. Scarred to bits.

I have mine about 6 - 8 inches apart all round.... If I don't want hens pairing I'd box them. Or better stilll I'd make the top of the Perch smaller and leave a guinea pig in the apartment with them! Easist ana more effective.

RSPB have public support ... but does the public know of the damaging effect they have raptures have deverstating the garden birds etc. Need the PR firm...
