[Fife_pigeon_wife]

A fancier in oor club had an excuse almost everyweek a few years back. The wifey next door to him  ... one week she cut he grass and the lawnmower frightenedthem, the following week was she was cutting hernheadge and the trimmer frightened them, she was using the strimmer the following week, then her family played tennis , and it went on and on and on .... it was a laugh trying to guess basketing night what excuse was going to get used.

Years ago, when money and clocks were much scarcer as in these days, it was the usual pattern for members to share a  "club" clock between them on a weekly basis. The member who didn,t have the clock was allowed "running time". 15 seconds  per 100 yds. Some used split tennis balls to save seconds, by throwing them over a garden or two into the garden where the clock was. One week however, things misfired and the airborne tennis ball got caught up by a rather large ladies pair of knickers in no mans land, hanging on her washing line.   Trying to retrieve the rubber and ball, the fancier was chased by the fat ladies irate husband who thought he was stealing his missusses knickers. Needless to say he didn,t get a sniff that day. Vic. ;D

[Guest Vic]

..... or a time! one big bloomer indeed. Would you have believed him? ;D ;D ;D

[Guest Vic]

"Caught with his trousers down"  sez Jim. "Caught with her knickers up" sez Vic. ;D ;D ;D

[Guest Vic]

Oh! by the way! I forgot to mention that the tennis ball was attached to a long length of string, in case of indirect  propulsion. But in this case, it was the cause of

the "etanglement". Vic. ;D ;D

Thought I was going to have a classic excuse today: light aircraft pulling a banner advert behind it, zig-zagging across my birds' line-of-flight.  

[GREENGRASS]

this actually happened to "me" bird came back just about landed on the roof batch went over and it went with them and was reported the next night in a loft approximately 100miles south east. The fancier who reported the bird son was a driver and he was coming up country a bit the following day so single tossed it from about 60 miles away and it bolted up the road no problems that bird taught me an awful lot , an awful lot!!
