With lights and dimmers you could open the loft up at noon and close it down 10pm.

Ringer & 10,000 rubbers for sale ;D

Ok I'll take that back..................... any Mosaics then ;D

Any Slatey's ;D

Think they are the ones for £26

;D ;D

Negative tests on fanciers have been published in the fancy press but have never seen a detailed report. I think Sth Africa was the cheapest. This may have changed now.

Apparently they no longer do them. If your in there for any reason could you please find out for sure. Thanks

As far as I'm aware the RPRA have testing kits. These tests should be funded by the main unions. I think the tests were in the region of £200 per sample and had to be sent to Sth Africa. They could publish a positive if a crate was tested without fear of litigation.................. but would they?

lol 95% of the stuff we give pigeons makes us feel better but does sod all for them ;D

Once upon a time............. ;D ;D

Some would be 100% glucose so cant see that happening ;D

Cheapest we've been quoted is £26 per 1000 anyone know of any cheaper.

I would like to see a random crate/s selected after a liberation and the droppings sent away to be tested for banned substances, lets see if we have a problem first.

If we had a list we would be none the wiser, take a look at this http://www.canoeicf.com/site/canoeint/if/downloads/antidoping/WADA%20Documents/2008_List_En.pdf

I would go for Virkon-S simply because I can see the lofts drying out quicker using this.

Bring out a DVD with a pigeon on the front that claims it will show you how to do this and it'll sell ;D

Somehow theres more satisfaction doing it that way ah

Am I the only one that tries to construct something without looking at the instructions ;D

Guidence, I listen and take in what I think will help but to sit and try copy someones methods or do as they says nope.

Motivation for me comes from within, the desire to do better, to become better. I think depending on how much the fire rages within determines how far you go in the sport. No one person inspires me nor influences, I've pretty much always done my own thing. I've learnt the hard way and yes am still learning and dont suppose I'm even half way there yet. I know one thing for sure and that is every year is getting harder instead of getting easier.

Useful for when your having a bar-b-q

I think winter form is a myth. The cocks and hens are in most cases split and exercised seperate so the eagerness to hang around the loft lessons, they exercise freely but I wouldn't confuse this with form.

You just wouldn't believe how many times I should have won that :'( :'( ;D lol no I dont suppose you would ;D ;D
