b.massey Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Yeah Gary I think they had problems with it starting last week... Am not certain but sure I heard they were late to Rosewell due to a slight problem... So am not certain if they did but surely a mechanic should have looked on it during the week?? The people in committee will know if it was looked at during the week... Very disappointed in it all never the less. Am sure answers will come

Am sure answers will come that makes it worse if it was mucking up last week .then their should have been mechanics looking at it through the week.no on a Friday at 4 o'clock. that way we would have know early enough to ask the pentland fed if we could have gone with them. (which to me would have been a bit of a brass neck when given the chance to liberate birds together with them the week before we or should i say someone refused.that said i would have been 1st to ask them .i would also put midlothian and pentland fed up together given the chance at any race point.ONLY MY OPINION
b.massey Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Well as I say I aint certain on the matter as I has left the clubhouse. But overheard club secretary saying to an RPRA member when he was asked if he found the transporter as he had went looking for it for being late... He replied yeah I got it... It had problems starting?? As said I aint sure and I respect its out of anyones control if it did just break down at 4pm on a friday. Leaves no time to try come up with a b plan

Leaves no time to try come up with a b plan mechanics at 4 to try and fix it by 5.30 not fixed .plan B would be left to our fed secretary Rhona who does a brilliant sometimes thank less job. she would have got the midlothian birds on the pentland feds reliabil transporter.
b.massey Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Yeah certainly not Rhona's fault.. Just hope its not too major and we will be back flying for next fed race in a couple weeks.
bibendium Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 Guys there are some scottish Feds not basketing until today, Might be a tall order at this late stage but maybe your fed Secy could arrange transport with them,might have to change your racepoint but at least you would get a race, As most transporters at this stage of the season will be half empty room shouldnt be a problem.

cheq pied Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 thanks for the support guys , but a few mistruths going around. 1. the driver told me last week that the transporter wouldnt start BUT when it did it ran fine.Remember we stop & start at every club and there was no more problems,i offerd to have it looked at but with it having started 1st time every time it was told it was okay.Now remembering the vehicle was only looked at a few weeks ago where the tank/fuel line have been stripped & cleaned, it was given a clean bill of health then. 2.the vehicle was started on monday & moved because of the high winds to a more sheltered spot,then moved back again.No indication then of a problem. 3.the 1st the problem came to light was approx 5.30 when the driver arrived. 4.the mechanics/ boys at the transporter we confident that they would get the transporter to start,i can only go with the advice i am given , by the time it was apparent that it wasnt happening we had missed out on a lift from neighbouring feds.yes they were asked, yes they would have taken us,but being into longer races they had already gone/ were passed us. 5.it is not possible to go with other feds now ,i know of at least one club which has taken their pigeon for a training flight. i am as disapointed as every one else at leicester being cancelled, i am personally not looking forward to jumping my own pigeons next week.but and i stress i did everything i could to get a race for us this weekend. rhona
clockman Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 Its just one of they things Rhona could happen to any fed,good luck,
blaz Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Posted May 28, 2011 TWO OLD MEN DECIDE THEY ARE CLOSE TO THEIR LAST DAYS AND DECIDE TO HAVE A LAST NIGHT ON THE TOWN. AFTER A FEW DRINKS, THEY END UP AT THE LOCAL BROTHEL THE MADAM TAKES ONE LOOK AT THE TWO OLD GEEZERS AND WHISPERS TO HER MANAGER, 'GO UP TO THE FIRST TWO BEDROOMS AND PUT AN INFLATED DOLL IN EACH BED. THESE TWO ARE SO OLD AND DRUNK, I'M NOT WASTING TWO OF MY GIRLS ON THEM. THEY WON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.' THE MANAGER DOES AS HE IS TOLD AND THE TWO OLD MEN GO UPSTAIRS AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR BUSINESS. AS THEY ARE WALKING HOME THE FIRST MAN SAYS, 'YOU KNOW, I THINK MY GIRL WAS DEAD!' 'DEAD?' SAYS HIS FRIEND, 'WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?' 'WELL, SHE NEVER MOVED OR MADE A SOUND ALL THE TIME I WAS LOVING HER.' HIS FRIEND SAYS, 'COULD BE WORSE I THINK MINE WAS A WITCH.' 'A WITCH ??. . WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU SAY THAT?' 'WELL, I WAS MAKING LOVE TO HER, KISSING HER ON THE NECK, AND I GAVE HER A LITTLE BITE, THEN SHE FARTED AND FLEW OUT THE WINDOW..... TOOK MY TEETH WITH HER!'
b.massey Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Thanks for the info Rhona... One of those things
