Guest Posted December 10, 2005 Report Posted December 10, 2005 The time for me when I was stood outside the loft on Race day, ringing my bell and shouting "come on lads and lassies" only to be told by Seve I was calling in 2 crows, Monday he took me for a pair of bi-focals
Guest speckled Posted December 10, 2005 Report Posted December 10, 2005 ;D Lol hyacinth,thats happened to me in the stock lost, ;D burt the most embarising,moment for me was, in the summer in shorts & tee shirt, bar be cue glowing, music loud, birds having a bath.

jimmy white Posted December 11, 2005 Report Posted December 11, 2005 ;D ;D ;D great topic , bet we can have a few laughs, ;D ;D ;D i can never forget the embarassment, when i was about 15 years old, first time i entered an open show, carefully basketed the birds, carefully penned them at the show AND CARELESSLY FORGOT TO CLOSE THE SHOW PEN. the bird flew about the hall all night, wrecking the place in the process, the caretaker, had to let it out the window in the morning, it was a very high hall , and impossible to catch it. it settled on the rafters,dropped a" bomb" and missed the judge by about a yard,,,,talk about a red face ;D ;D ;D
westy Posted December 11, 2005 Author Report Posted December 11, 2005 grate stories evreyone. and jimmy that must of been embarising.
Guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Posted December 11, 2005 I am common;y known as a Klutz (a peron who is accident prone and can fall over a fether) We went to the AU National Convention 2001 in Tampa Florida. To cut a long story short, about 30 of us went out for dinner at a Seafood Restaurant. Towards the end of the evening a lady who was sat near us went into labour, her friends and family took her out, presumably to get an ambulance. When we left the restaurant, the lady was led on the footpath giving birth, me being the nosey bugger that I am turned round after we'd passed to get another look and didn't realise theat I was quickly approaching a high kerb, I went flat on my face, made a nasty mess of both knees. Boy was I embarassed , as there was at least 3 Directors of the AU and Jack Barkel and his wife Margaret walking with us. My embarassment quickly vanished when I got to the Hotel, the Reception Staff insisted that they brought the Hotel Paramedic to dress my bleeding knees, he was a bronzed six foot eleventeen hunk!!!!!! I was sent to bed very quickly when I enquired if "The Hunk" was on duty the following evening lol lol lol
westburylofts Posted December 12, 2005 Report Posted December 12, 2005 Mine has to have been basketing two crates of yb's for a club trainer, then when the lads picked them up to go onto the transporter the birds had an early lib as i had forgot to do up the flaps, did i suffer some stick from my club mate's, might of had somthing to do with the fact it was my job to check all the crates before they are loaded. as i am always telling others that they had not done theres lol RAY
Peckedhen Posted December 12, 2005 Report Posted December 12, 2005 I have only just started with pigeons so I haven't had much time to mess up! I got my first decent birds - they lasted me just six days before I left the sputnik open and away they flew! : :B This weekend I registered on the new site www.pigeonauctions.co.uk I was just checking it out and clicked on the bid button to see what happened next, thinking that it would be like eBay and I wouldn't have committed but, I'd placed bid on a very expensive racing pigeon!! Fortunately, the webmaster was very understanding and agreed to retract my bid. Phew!! :B
jimmy white Posted December 12, 2005 Report Posted December 12, 2005 DID THE SAME AS FIFER, YEARS AGO HAD A MOTOR BIKE, DECIDED TO TAKE A BASKET OF BIRDS 30 MILES, SINGLE THEM UP, AND DO A SPOT OF FISHING AT THE SAME TIME, BASKETED THE BIRDS , LAID THEM ON THE DOOR STEP, THEN DUG FOR WORMS, FISHING ROD ROUND MY BACK LIKE A BOW, BAG ROUND ME NECK WITH FISHING GEAR AND FLASK, ALL SET,,,,DROVE 30 MILES ONLY TO FIND ID LEFT THE BASKET ON THE STEP, P.S NEVER CAUGHT ANY FISH EITHER ;D ;D ;D
jimmy white Posted December 14, 2005 Report Posted December 14, 2005 just to keep the topics light, i remember a few years ago, we had two races on the same day, the national, and the fed open, it worked out that the birds could be arriving at the same time, i remember muttering to my mates "this is rediculous, two big races , and their both about due, you watch, some idiot will put the wrong bird in the wrong clock" well some idiot did ,,ME ;D ;D ;D

Then i said watch and pulled the flap down and to my amazement they all came walking out and walked straight into the field like ducks i just didnt know were to put my face ,how imbarresing it was. I never took them there again after that.

Guest Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 Seem to follow me like a dark cloud. Thought I would take the birds a 20 mile spin to Kingsknowe golf course, Edinburgh. Had looked as if I could get through a works access gate off station road. Got there - gate closed and padlocked. Hadn't checked out place properly, so started walking up tree-lined road towards Ayr Road, looking for another entrance to the golf course, or a break in the trees. Spied 'fox' disappear into undergrowth further up road at what looked like an entrance. Wasn't an entrance, but a break in the trees. Set birds down on grass verge for 'settle time'. Hardly down when there's a red movement from the undergrowth ... fox turned out to be a russet-coloured cat. Chased it ... wouldn't go away. So ended up having a good running kick at it and we both ended up in the middle of the road right in front of a bus... swerved & both ok. Saw cat go into a garden directly across the road, so immediately did my invisible man act. After releasing birds took walk down to the canal and bumped into some youngsters who at first seemed interested in the pigeon box, but turned out to be the junior idiot chapter of the village gang. Made my way quickly back to the station and only to be harangued from the other platform by the village idiot pigeon expert, drift of his conversation impossible to follow above the noise of passing trains, yodel alarms and flashing lights from the railway crossing, and the minor distraction of seeing people walking across the line in front of trains doing 80mph. Never went back there. ;D
