Guest JonesyBhoy Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Anybody read the bit in Les.J.Ps article under 'Theories'..??
Guest JonesyBhoy Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Well read it.. its certainly makes you think a little bit
Guest JonesyBhoy Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Never read the sales..!! Chancers trying to off load what they dont have space for.. John Harwood.. Steve Patrick and Bertie Brasspenning are all superb..!! Used to love 'An hour with Bernie' back in the day.. but he dont do much now..
Kyleakin Lofts Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 I read the same way as you tractor boy, so either I'm odd or perhaps, just perhaps, we are not all that odd at all ;D ;D. I know about the chancers, but sometimes genuine opportunities can be had, so it is fun reading the ads. Why would anyone sell their proven producers :-/ :?
Guest JonesyBhoy Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Its about if you put a metal pigeon carte on the ground facing exactly due north, then put the compass down on top of the crate, the compass goes of by a few degrees. Then if you hold a spade up to it (which im assuming is some type of metal) next to the compass it goes off by another few degrees. So imagine all the crates together touching, how far this would knock the compass off. Could this be doing something with the birds brains..?? I know its probably slightly far fetched to think that metal cartes dis - orientates the birds, but you never know..??

Guest JonesyBhoy Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 I dont really mind his wee wanders off topic.. which is strange as i hate fishing..!! He really is a class doo man.. i have all our fed books back to the eraly 80s. And for racing such a small team, hes results are outstanding..!!
Kyleakin Lofts Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 He bangs his own drum, but is in the position so to do. He does get the results and they can not be argued with. His articles are well written and an enjoyable read. Nowadays people in general are too ready to knock others. The good old days were not really that good when we were in them, but on reflection they were not as bad as we thought they were. Let us live and let live. Let those who enjoy John Harwood, I'm one, enjoy John Harwood. We are doing no harm and neither is he.

Kyleakin Lofts Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Slinky, watch out at the next National marking, someone might tell him and he might bring his big stick tae ye

Kyleakin Lofts Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Dinna ken ye wur a wummin, but maybe he'll treat it as chastising a child. Us auld fashioned yins still believe in the birch, ye ken.
micci Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 chancers.. Not all of them, in 1985 i gave away a cock bird that had bred me over 20 individual 1st prize winners in three years with 2 hens, He went on to breed a lot more winners than that; and took the new owners to the position of top prize winners, why did i part with him ? I got divorced.!!!
Guest JonesyBhoy Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Lol.. you were probably the last..!! 1985 i was only 2..!! Im 26 now.. im sure a few chancers have since featured in the back pages of the BHW..!!
