Rooster J. Cogburn Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 I knew there would be some cracking stories once i started this thread. Brilliant Know of a guy local to Larkhall that decided to go to a local show which was around xmas time, he thought he would be proffessional so he came with all the powder and lighter fluid stuff that the show boys have. One pigeon was a bit dirty so he got the lighter fluid and scooshed it on the bird, fancier standing next to him told him that he had done it all wrong and he had put far too much on the doo, new showman told him not too worry as he knew how to dry it off, next thing he leant down towards the calour gas fire and held the doo towards it :o lets just say the doo couldnt go into the show pen. Jesus Christ Heard a story of a good show boy through here.Don't know what show it was exactly but he went outside fer a while when he came back his two doos wernae in the pen-he went mental,turning the hall upside down accusing folk of stealing his doos.It turns out they were up at the top table for best in show in their categories

Delboy Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 I know a member on basics who bought a empty pen at a sale that was donated by a ex club mate of mine. Basics member got a phone call to visit him as it was ready. He got handled one young bird, this was nothing special so no expression was shown by the purchaser of the empty pen. He then had the first young bird took of him and was given the 1st young birds nest mate. This was a cracker and didn't hold back at showing his delight at what a cracker it was, at this pount the breeder then took the cracker of him and gave him the first young bird. Lol Cracker Gareth,

Guest Gareth Rankin Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 A man in thus site went training at 05.00, travelled the forty odd miles to the ski slopes at Edinburgh, single tossed them which took around 45 mins this down too that he had 2 baskets to liberate. Got back to Lanarkshire around 06.30, went to get the baskets out of the back and got a shock when he realised that the baskets were not there. Lol He then took a gamble and drove the 40 mile back and the baskets were still there.

yeboah Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Went down to Lockerbie one very wet morning to help erect a new loft which our clocksetter had bought himself ,he was quite adament that we only take the roof off his old loft as a fellow club member had purchased it from him and was fetching a tractor and trailer with his lads to lift it straight on ,(some one frae hearts of gold would nae have took it as it was f---) We stood in the pissin rain in fits of laughter as six of them carried the loft and got it stuck solid in the walkway between the houses ,they had to take a sledge hammer to it and smash it up as the neighbours could,nae get in with there shopping ,funny as f-- as the club member and his lads drove away in the tractor with a heap of fire wood Whilst standing in a fish bar in Blackpool at 3am ,our club mate was standing outside in the bitter cold with his arms inside these massive pockets on his jeans,as we waited to be served he leaned against a bill board which collapsed and he went with it as he could-nae get his arms out in time we had to go outside and pick him up as he cracked his skull of the pavement
just ask me Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 best thread on basics all year laughed so hard :emoticon-0137-clapping:
Guest Gareth Rankin Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Club mate had a leak in his roof, he is a office worker so DIY is not his strong point. Secretary of the club told him to buy some felt and just use felt nails. He finished the job and was as pleased as punch and wasn't afraid to tell the rest of the men in the club. About a week later it rained and the club secretary received a phone call from him, this was to inform him that his idea of using felt nails was not a good idea as the rain water was still flooding in through the roof. Secretary said ok I will bring my blow torch up and see what I can doo.The secretary arrived climb up on the roof and started roaring with laughter, this because the office worker pigeon fancier had laid the felt in reverse order do much so that the rain ran down the roof it would run underneath the next row of felt.
