harry h Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 smelt like Paraffin -- or Turps to me If it's Paraffin, that means it should be an Esso Blue doo that wins it.
frank-123 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 Feel sorry for the guy who made the mistake but the race should have been cancelled imo.
geordie1234 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 Well George you won't have to look far for the guy that went over set up the basket filled the drinkers and made it all possible and by the way voluntarily just to help us all out the reason you won't find it hard is because when it comes to putting pigeons away every week there are only a few that are dedicated to helping and as far as I know this member is one of them one fn mistake ok a big one this member will be gutted and his birds were in there to if its the man I heard it was.Take it you didny see me on the ringer then for an hour and a half ??? Idiot was harsh and a take it back just pissed off that my doos may be disadvantaged already.
Guest bigda Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 had a look in the baskets involved birds looked OK i don't think that many of the birds got at the water, and if it was diesel oil they drank i would be happy about of the too evils as weed killer would have been a lot worse, there will be a vet having a look at the birds both here and on site the baskets are noted as it involved about 15 baskets if they do find anything wrong i believe the 15 baskets will be returned to there owners, and the race will go ahead as planed. this will be a very sticky situation for the national should any bird die or take a reaction to this, and could cost a few bob with claims against, and who every goes down that road could finish the national off all together, but here is hoping all is well and the winners come from the said baskets the bloke that did do the deed was only trying to help by using a bigger container to see to the birds had plenty of water, if oil was the culprit i have seen birds drink from ponds, which have had a oil skin on them, and doos being OK. hard as things are maybe the national could state the names of the birds involved and ask the fanciers what they would like done IEthere bird taken out the race. just a thought.
HOMER49 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 Well George you won't have to look far for the guy that went over set up the basket filled the drinkers and made it all possible and by the way voluntarily just to help us all out the reason you won't find it hard is because when it comes to putting pigeons away every week there are only a few that are dedicated to helping and as far as I know this member is one of them one fn mistake ok a big one this member will be gutted and his birds were in there to if its the man I heard it was. Hi StevenDont know who it was and dont want to know as you say the guy was only helping outThe SNFC and its officals are to blame marking in a fking greenhouse, dodging flowerpots and compost machinery is this what poeple call the premier club in ScotlandSeems to me its a Loony tunes advert (Thats all folks) :emoticon-0140-rofl: CheersHomer 49
Delboy Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 Feel sorry for the guy who made the mistake but the race should have been cancelled imo. This was my initial thought as well but you cant cancel it, birds are being marked all over Scotland and £1000s have been spent on these birds being prepared for the race. Its a f k up really that will put a wee cloud over the nat again.

Delboy Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 Imagine the thousands it will cost if someone takes legal action. Yip,i don't disagree its a c... of a situation
geordie1234 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 Yes I saw you on the ringer mate and also saw you working away while I stood chatting that also means IMO you know who the member might have been. Hope you got away with your wife and kids ok have a nice time your a wee hard worker you deserve a brek.I honestly don't mate as I was in the que waiting to get my own doos through speaking to a gent A.Cauldwell from Johnstone then I got brought up to help oot. As I said I shouldn't have called this person whomever he is an idiot I put it doon to heat stroke I got from being in a feckin greenhoose
yeboah Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 Having like many others read the posts I feel genuinely sorry for the fancier who has made a mistake whilst trying to do his best for the pigeons if they had been mine I would have asked for them to be withdrawn from the race and taken home to fight another day as long as we have our health all other issues are insignificant if something can be learned from this regarding the provision of drinking utensils time to move on ,good luck to all who entered .
Guest bigda Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 Imagine the thousands it will cost if someone takes legal action. I THINK THE BIRDS GO AT YOUR OWN RISK if you are a member of the national, its the none Nat members that i would be worrying about, but here is hoping all is well and a good race is had by everyone the guy that made no mistakes made nothing, the BOP will take most but who will believe that, if you are in one of the said baskets that drank the paraffin oil or such likely, it is a worry for all concerned, but nothing more can be done, so you come up with the solution or you don't be part of the problem, if you are not in the said baskets, i suppose you cant say much about it at the end of the day. just a word on paraffin oil my wife used to bite the frigging firelighters when expectant and now i have a Son who is a bright spark no harm there

REDROCKET Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 How many baskets were involved?15 to 20 but not all full.
VMS Posted June 20, 2013 Report Posted June 20, 2013 Baskets effected should be withdrawn from the race,otherwise a shadow will be cast
