Well done to all the winners, especially PB members, WHITTY and Pegohttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

Bursaspor v Man Utd Spurs v Inter Milan Valencia v Rangers what are your predictions folks?

anotherhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif When you have an 'I Hate My Job day' [Even if you're retired, you sometimes have those days] Try this out: On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson &Johnson Be very sure you get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed. Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favourite chair. Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken. Now the fun part begins . Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully . You will notice that in small print there is a statement: ' Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson &Johnson is personally tested and then sanitized . ' Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, 'I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson &Johnson .' HAVE A NICE DAY; AND REMEMBER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WITH A JOB THAT IS MORE OF A PAIN IN THE ASS THAN YOURS! .........Remember, if you haven't got a smile on your face and laughter in your heart...Then you are just an old sour fart; Maybe you should go and work for Johnson &Johnson!!!!!

Away back in the early 90,s when I first started, I bought a stock hen from a fancier about 9 miles away from my little loft, he suggested that when I got it home, that I should cut 4 of its primary flights on one wing only, to get it to stay with me (something that I would not do now) this I did, and let the hen out, which seemed to work, as she struggled to even fly upto the landing board. I let her out for a couple of days with no problems, then one day once I had all the birds back in the loft, and noticed the hen was missing, I hunted everywhere for her, but no joy. That night I got a phone call from this fancier to say that this little hen had flown the 9 miles back to his loft, what a brave and determined wee henhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif Hardly 157miles with half a wing, but still amazing IMOhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

There was an interesting thread looking at the age span of pigeon fanciers on Basics. It would be interesting to hear where or what PB members do for a livinghttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif So are you employed, if so, what do you do? Or are you retired, if so, what did you do? People seem to think all pigeon fanciers are old men with cloth caps who work down the pitshttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

Ashamed referee Dougie McDonald insists: I won't quit despite lying to Celtic boss and SFA over penalty row http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/dailyrecord3/nov2010/4/1/dougie-mcdonald-image-1-512551923.jpg Dougie McDonald Image 1 UNDER-FIRE ref Dougie McDonald last night insisted he will NOT resign despite admitting he lied to Neil Lennon and an SFA superior. McDonald broke cover to plead for understanding but denied his integrity as a ref is compromised. The official decided to come to RecordSport to plead his case after Steven Craven, who'd been one of his assistants in the controversial Celtic match at Tannadice two weeks ago, gave his version of events to the Sunday Mail. McDonald, however, stressed he had been trying to support Craven by agreeing to concoct a story explaining why a penalty given to Celtic had been overturned. The whistler, who is adamant he can still officiate Old Firm games and carry on as a top-flight ref, said: "It was of no benefit to me to come up with our stor y and I don't know why I agreed to it. "I was being supportive of Stevie. It was wrong and I knew as I was leaving Tannadice that I shouldn't have done it. "I also realised that I would have to tell the truth about what happened because I would be quizzed by the media. "I had nothing to gain by going with the story but I thought i t might help Stevie." With the game on a knife-edge at Tannadice McDonald had blown for a spot-kick when Gary Hooper went down in the box as United's keeper Dusan Pernis made contact but straight away the whistler knew he had got it wrong. The ref, who spoke out last night after a shift as fourth official at Kilmarnock's 3-0 win at Tynecastle, said: "The keeper's legs made contact but then I saw the ball move in a direction which made it clear he had also got a touch on the ball first. "It was a split-second decision and I put my hand up as the United players came rushing in as though to say, 'hold the bus, I know this is wrong'. "I went over to Stevie and he said the keeper had touched the ball first. So I changed the decision and that was the right thing to do. "After the match we were in our dressing-room and Stevie pulled out the wire on his communicat ion device before removing my earpiece. "Then he asked 'what are we going to say to the supervisor?' "I just said 'I don't f****** care what we say to him. Just say that you called out Dougie! Dougie! and that I came over to you. "The super visor (Jim McBurnie) came in, sat on the edge of the bath and asked what had happened. "We told him and later when Neil Lennon came in we told him the same thing. "It was wrong and I texted referees' chief Hugh Dallas as I left Tannadice asking him to call me. "He had been at a meeting that day but he did call and I told him what we had said at the game. Hugh wasn't happy and he encouraged me to tell the truth." McDonald then told Craven about his chat with their boss and added: "I don't think Stevie was too happy. He felt a dressingroom agreement had been breached. "I got the impression he felt I was trying to claim the credit for rectifying my initial error. But I had nothing to gain from doing this. I just wanted to do the right thing." McDonald knew he'd be given a 7.9 mark - the score given to a ref who makes a major error - by McBurnie because of his mistake. But Craven was given 8.3 presumably because it was thought, wrongly of course, that he'd been responsible for making the correct call on the penalty incident. Craven later resigned but McDonald refuses to follow him or accept any responsibility for hi s colleague's decision to quit. And he also insists there is no reason why he can't take charge of Celtic matches or Old Firm games in the future. He said: "Stevie was going to resign anyway. "He'd already made that clear to some colleagues and maybe he saw this as a high-profile way out and a chance to make hay at the same time as well as have a go at Hugh. "Stevie had never seen eye to eye with Hugh and the SFA. But I've always had a good relationship with Steve and I don't believe he was trying to harm me when he had his say. "But he seems happy to take me down with him. "However, I haven't even considered resigning. "I have a 29-year record that was unblemished and although it was wrong to come up with a story and lie the key thing in all of this is that an error was rectified. "The right thing was done on the pitch. That's why I've no doubts I can continue. I am one of the country's top referees and I am a strong character. "I will apologise to Neil, tell him I'm sorry about the lie and I look forward to my next match at Celtic Park. "I have always enjoyed work ing ther e and I wouldn't really understand if Celtic said they didn't want me to take charge of any more of their matches. "This has to be kept in context. The correct decision was made and I couldn't live with myself if I didn't always try to get things right."
