i think i might try it again Mick as it cerrtainly does what it says. i'll take your advice though and try it on a thursday this time lol, thanks mick.

i bought Nazaline from e-bay last year and applied some to some hens before i basketed them. I ended up not sending them as i thought i'd wrecked them! Their eyes were streaming and beaks wide open gasping for breath, and they looked like they were gonna do a back flip!! certainly cleared them out though, next day they looked a picture but i thought it was a bit rough and didn't use it again. Is this the way birds are expected to react to this stuff as it shocked me a wee bit? one drop in each nostril was all i gave

Hi all. I've had a yb reported by a non fancier in wesport, co. mayo. he keeps canaries and said he would keep it and feed it for me but i'd like to get it picked up and not trouble him too much. does anyone know of anyone coming north even as far as belfast that comes through or close to westport? Thanks in advance

my god, 7/800 quid for a hamper for the roof of your car! My wife would skin me alive. It is a good job for sure but is there 7/800 quids worth of work in it? Does Geraldy fill it with squeakers when it's delivered?

Sent 25, had 16 on the day and 2 more next day flyin 143+miles.

143miles to me ulsterman, pure crazy! Looking at some of the other first races 50/60/70 miles makes you think. Nothing like dropping them in at the deep end, very deep end. Looks like a 10 - 12mph West wind and about 95% cloud cover the whole way up so tough enough start. At least the wind should keep them on the coast, better for me anyway.Fingers crossed and good luck on saturday

I think there's plenty to be considered in this post. Mayb ask the breeder about the family that your worthy winner comes from. Is there plenty of examples of winners close to him or is he an exceptional sport in a line that hasn't done much to note. If he's from a family of performers then i'd guard him with my life and never sell him. If he was from a family of birds that have not consistantly performed over a number of years then i would sell him without hesitation and use the money to invest in a round of youngsters from a family of tried and tested birds that have consistantly performed at the distance you want to aim at. I would imagine he'd be worth enough to do this for at least 2 seasons whereafter you would have a full loft of quality blood. Speculate to accumulate if it were me but at the end of the day you must make your own mind up. By the way, many congratulations on winning what we're all dreaming about and good luck for the future.

Hi all Was hoping someone on the forum might have a phone number for boxer? I lost it along with all my pm's on the switch over. I bought his two birds on the hero's sale and they need picked up about a fortnight ago. I can get them picked up this evening but have no way of contacting him other than pm which i've already tried but he is probably working and won't get it til evening. Any help much appreciated. Thank you Gerry

He's comin from Doncaster i think but i can't get a hold of him now and his office is closed. I'm just headin out the door for nightshift now but I'll ask him tomorrow if i can't get him on the phone tonight. Thanks for the reply Gerry

Hello all i'm hoping someone can help me get some young birds from near Stirling to Irvine in the next 24hrs. I had plans made with a lorry driver friend to collect in Stirling but the load has been cancelled and he will be off loading in Irvine tomorrow evening instead about 8pm. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know it's a bit short notice but worth a try. Thanks Gerry

Would also be nice if they discussed a website where you could have a look at results etc. As far as i can see it's the only nfc in the british isles that doesn't have a dedicated site which is a bit embarrassing and frustrating. When you do manage to find a result on one of the other sites the information given is basic to say the least i.e. fancier and velocity and to work out who finished where you need to sit down with a tally chart beside you and tick off the velocities as you run your finger back and forward accross the screen. A challenge - look for a detailed full result for 2009 Kings Cup - the country's most prestegious race - if you can find one that gives details of member, i.e. name, birds sent, ring number, distance to loft, aft etc. please put up the link as i can't find it. Thanks and good luck!
