I feel lucky! I also have bought the Busseart hen of Rasbull to mate with this cock bird. I feel that they will make a nice matched pair. Am surprise at the price as I thought I'd have to go a lot higher for 'Rasbull' birds. So I am more obviously more than happy.

£30

Don't think that is strictly true. Yes most Fed meetings means anyone can go, voice an oppinion etc. but only the Delegates can vote. Then there are 'Meets' called for where everyone present can vote, Ie. our last one was for support in leveling everyone to pay £40 for a new transporter. This got through on a 2 - 1 vote. Then any thing proposed 2 weeks before the A.G.M. is and can be voiced and voted on by any and every Member there. Further it is after everyone has had their say / vote etc. and elected a new comittee or retained theold one etc. etc. These are then of course head votes. I believe I am right, and certainly 95% right.

I'd not say your wrong there Stapper. I use emulsion of course as it doesn't resound. Paint will suffercate any and every / all Viruses, Baterial, fungal etc. Indeed anything that breathes. I - personally - and vowed solemnly that this year I will Blow Torch once or twice every week when I scrape out. I am also getting shot of all my best bowls and going back to house bricks. I find the birds are more settled, youngster better suited to them, and they are easier to cleanse and maintain. So will just blow torch a couple or brick from about 7 day old youngsters. Will clean any excessive droppings each day, and replace with warm bricks (Blow torched). Hopefully the youngster will take and be more friendly and use to me.

Simple, when having an established 'Race Team' certainly not. When getting an established team, then yes for 2 - 3 seasons even. Then you will can off load or get shot of for A. you will know their capabilities, and what they have / will likely produce. B. you will already have their genes flying, so don't need the extra costs and seeing them locked up. C. if not got many left for a race team after 2 seasons, then well past get shot off time eh as they aren't breeding the goods. D. Then if you want 'Stock' as a stand by for any reason, you will have proven racers coming through every season for that. E. Then the beauty is just keeping 12 - 15 pairs even which is ample and ALL will have earnt, or will have to earn a perch, even a VNest box. F. Further you will soon have permant 'Yard Sticks' to govern your loft.

Ah well Owen101, join my club lol. A few of us have offended and been a little over the top I guess. Me more than most, and yet some still acknowledge me lol ;D ;D Especially when I've had a couple of sherberts lol.

Two old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting on their usual park bench one morning. The 87 year old had just finished his morning jog and wasn't even short of breath. The 80 year old was amazed at his friend's stamina and asked him what he did to have so much energy. The 87 year old said, "Well, I eat rye bread every day. It keeps your energy level high and you'll have great stamina with the ladies." So, on the way home, the 80 year old stops at the bakery. As he was looking around, the lady asked if he needed any help. He said "Do you have any rye bread?" She said, "Yes, there's a whole shelf of it. Would you like some?" He said, "I want 5 loaves." She said, "My goodness, 5 loaves...by the time you get to the 3rd loaf, it'll be hard." He replied, "I can't believe it, everybody knows about this s**t but me"

Sleep? ! :-/ :o ;D ;D ;D

This is what Dc. Karl Franks said on the Alberta Classic site............... Quote 'This sounds like one of the various lactobacilli that are present in various probiotic mixtures. The general consensus is to have as large a variety of beneficial micro-organisms in these mixtures as possible. The GIT should resemble the "United Nations General Assembly" and have every possible niche occupied in order to prevent a pathogenic micro-organism from being able to build a "home". ...end of quote

Ther approx 25 kg roly, so no bother for you to sling over your shoulder and run away :-) Not worried about the first 50 yards, it's the next few miles.... need a 'Chain gang' to relay them to lol ;D ;D

Just one for starters Tony since you asked. They extended, the NRCC the radius from Near Sutton Coalville to take in the Whole of Norfolk. Of course this suited many more than those of us which it didn’t, hence it was passed. Thus this meant giving way over 150 miles to the boys of the East Coast.... When 85% left they rescinded. But a mite too late for now there are just 7 left in the Northants Fed that fly with the NRCC, whereas nigh everyone did. Now our Fed, and Amalgamation is planning / debating for the NRCC to transport our birds to the longer races again like they used to will better sections. So some may rejoin, whereas others may just say Bog Off and turn South Rd. This of course would mean both feet being shot into. Though one must remember the NFC tried to do exactly the same with our section, it was strongly opposed THEN. Maybe what happened to the NRCC put a block on that? Who knows?

Well now the ‘Silly Selfish Season’ is here, where many put up stupid, and nigh always selfish things to gain a march! Why don’t we start a thread here? Save them thinking too hard as they obviously do have a job thinking, and that’s for sure. Like ‘Let’s ban any clock that is Not a T3 or Et. Then ALL T3’S to become obsolete within 18 months. If a second one is needed for Nationals etc. whereby one must use a Manual, let’s all Lobby for these to be HIRED by the Concern running the race for, say just £25 a time. This will of course put money into their coffers and make - for some reason whatever – better racing. I.e. So only those able to, who can easily afford will race, those that can’t will still be putting a bit of money in to the ‘Better positioned and more affable’ pockets. We can always conn them into think that A. they don’t try hard enough, and B. then sell our culls as their birds aren’t good enough. Perhaps as a special consensus those that can’t afford £25 are allowed to enter, but only as ‘Trainers’ and some sport to see how they would have fared if only ... Why not cut down the marking stations to save money – I thing that’s a good excuse whether it does or not – and have those able to lay on transport at cost, plus a little drinkie or two! Sections of course are suitably placed for those in the right Location, but lets do away with at least 50% of them and put more money still into the more fortunate coffers. The ‘Masses’ may moan a bit and several pack up of course, then again we are used to them moan in futileness so what the heck. But you know, they would have sooner or later any way, and it won’t affect those in the ‘Positioned’ site at all as the extra money from where the old sections were will bring in more money to their elbow. I also propose that every one has to pay an extra £2 – only- for the winner – in case they haven’t pooled right the way through. So please feel free to add your’ ideas of how to skin the masses in good taste. After all it is nothing new. Especially how to squeeze the Grass roots and bit more and take a little more undeserved cash out of their pockets that they can ill afford. Also lets have a bit more openness here. Make easier for the rank and file to lick the backsides of the More affluent without losing too much face. After all we all know that those not very good have a strange fetish of praising them as if some magic will rub of onto them…. geeeshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. 'In honor of this holy season' Saint Peter said, 'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.' The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. 'It represents a candle', he said. 'You may pass through the pearly gates' Saint Peter said. The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, 'They're bells.' Saint Peter said 'You may pass through the pearly gates'. The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, ' And just what do those symbolize?' The man replied, 'These are Carols.' And So The Christmas Season Begins......

One of the most distructive little critters out. Who ever introduced them here wanted horse whipping the brain dead cretin. Cunning and evil and wanton killers. Mind would soon clear the rats out and that's for sure lol ;D ;D

How heavy are the. Manageble easily, takes two or can a youngster just sling on his back and run with it?

In the early 90's I had a double glazed front door. A proper one for the house, complete with Letter Box .... over which I painted 'Pigeon post' ;D

Yep true gentlemen and sportsmen. No two ways about that.

Still have the pictures Chickadee on my Computer. Yes he did say he hated Flat Backs, but for couriers etc. I just feel it is a alternative and personally when asked, a way to go forward with them.

Cos nobody else will take the job. especially when players are only too apt to under perform so the manager takes the rap for their failings. Gosh many Scottish past players - Just look at the 50's 60's and early 70's - would walk to the game and fight to play. Didn't take a backward step but husslte and fought none stop every minute of the game. If they lost, the winners certainly knew they had been there. No quarter asked or given. Showed tremedous individual skills and fight! Indeed their biggest drawback if one is so bold to say, was their lack of team work. Just so many good individual players that on manyoccasions if they had gelled proper were as good as nigh any, certainly most worldwide. I believe 'Player Power' has a lot to do with their poor performances and cover excuses. JMO P.s in the Home country games one never ruled Scotland out for a second, and KNEW that they were there for the endurance win lose or draw to the end. Now, they pose, pull faces and shirk, make excuses and blame managerment. Don't think even Jose Mourino could get half a decent half out of them. Yes some are good players granted, but as the Boxers state, too many are looking for the floor.... an easy way out. JUST answer me this one question: Hands up those that were proud of their players on Saturday? Or the last few games even ..... :-/ Now hands up those that in the 50's 60's 70's etc. who were proud after EVERY game win lose or draw. who were still sing and shouting 'Bonny Scotland' all night and the next week' NOW Thousand of hands have gone up!

Players ought to be ashamed of them selves. Ok they are even good, but at least they could have tried a bit harder after all they were supposedly playing for their country! :-/ You can't blame the manager for that! Seems to me that they are on a milk train where any manager has to pick up the tabbs. Ok possibly it is because of the poor quality of the players, plus their attitudes, that no one wants to try and assemble a decent side. :P ;D ;D ;D But seriously they could have at least turned up to play. Can't blame any manager for that if they are playing for their' country! That in it's self should be incentive enough to be proud to pull on the shirt. Could still close the opposition down, stand on their feet so to speak and nullify the oppositions qualities, and let's face it Wales aren't exactly Brizil are they. Just look at the English disgrace for 10 years or more under Hoddle, Sven and McClaren. More interested in posing, night clubbing and impressing their mate partners than playing. Under this manager they will at least turn out, if outclassed or not.
