Lads and lasses how about sharing what you consider the best post/tread/topic/s of 2008. It could be one that you learnt from, one that made you laugh or perhaps even made you cry. For me personally there’s two that stand out, the Paratyphoid thread for all trying to help each other through a minefield and the Phoebe auction/appeal, I don’t need to say no more on this one. Please no using this thread to take digs at peeps or scoring brownie points. By all means light hearted comments and banter are most welcome. p.s. There will be no voucher for the winner

Congratulations vallace. Another loft manager on the firm

I must admit the resemblance is striking ;D ;D ;D

Any chance of you letting the star ship Enterprise know how you do that, I'm fed up with them Klingons sneaking up on them cloaked.

I believe in trust and routine more.

The fat content in pine nuts exceed that of peanuts and sunflower seeds, I believe acorns has the highest fat content of them all.

These are slightly larger than sunflower hearts and more plump. You'll find them on the shelf in Tesco's.

Anybody ever tried feeding their pigeons raw shelled pine nuts?

I think this thread contains a virus.

HALF!!! do you mean to say there's more

This perhaps is old news, a survey carried out in Scotland 2002 http://www.ingentaconnect.com/search/article?title=pigeons&title_type=tka&year_from=1998&year_to=2009&database=1&pageSize=20&index=25 The paper was published by the British Trust for Ornithology ( Volume 55, Number 1, 1 March 2008 )

My wife would like to nominate me

'I'm afraid that I was very, very drunk'. Actually this statement couldn’t be further from the truth. Christmas 1987 whilst bouncing my 3 year old daughter on my knee it suddenly hit me how much she’d grown. I being young, working and spending most evenings out was missing out on my kids growing up. I decided there and then no more nights out, no more drinking (still on the wagon 20 years on), no more darts and no more snooker or dogs. I was going to watch my kids grow up, be responsible for the first time in my life. I kept to my word but boy I needed a hobby that I could pursue, something to stop me going mad and something that didn’t take me away from the home. Enter pigeon racing. The last couple of years before I left home my father took an interest in racing pigeons, he caught the bug and I thought he mad. I didn’t take a blind bit of notice of em. Further forward 5 years, I became inquisitive, what did he see in this pigeon racing game! I started going round home to watch them race days, went up the club with him to see how he’d done and met a whole bunch of crazy pigeon folk. Here was my answer, I’d get a few pigeons perhaps even try racing a few if I got on with them. That was 20 years ago sheesh! Doesn’t time fly when your having fun.
