  1. Great Alan.
  2. Walking it onto the grass and then killing the grass could indicate that there was a high ammonia content in the wood. This would only arise if damp. If it was dry, it would not stick to the shoes as much. Again, just a thought.
  3. Did the "easibed" by any chance draw moisture? Seems to me the wood content can increase the humidity by holding the moisture / dampness. Just a thought.
  4. Could be Newcastle area Andy. Pig of an area if you have a wooden leg. :D
  5. If you are stuck, I'll do it Andy.

  15. Keep up the coaching Stevie. A load of gooduns out there. I see them at the athletics club all the time. I'm sure Geordie sees them at the boxing as well. School has changed!!! They work in teams, they express their opinions, they are encouraged to develop for the modern world, long may it continue. Yes, there are some neds, but on the whole they are a good bunch in this neck of the woods.
  16. I put it on their fish and chips.
  17. Hey whippersnapper, who are you calling an old guy. Don't you know right from wrong? respect your elders. :D
  18. Updated due to mistake in pigeon press advert.
  19. Good morning all.
  20. I also started with the orange boxes. They were great. After I built my huts, the orange boxes became the nest-boxes. I used to keep tumblers, fantails and homers as pets, but touting was the thing in Glasgow and I soon learned it was expensive to get my pigeons back off the men who caught them, so they were swapped at the pet shop because once caught they would be easily caught again. The tumblers were a joy to watch, flying high and tumbling through the sky. The bonus was when flying them as a group and all paired up, the touters didn't catch them. My pal and I were always building huts for the pigeons and the local watchie was a boon when he was onside, especially when he was a pigeon man. Sorted our pigeons when they had cocci using washing soda crystals, etc. I have never had a proper racing loft until the one I am building now, but must have kept pigeons in around 6 or 7 places before moving to Kilwinning and meeting my first racing man. You know you are becoming older when the recollections of your youthful antics fill you with joy.
