good result

I don't blow my own trumpet but its always good news when you can help another fancier to win, I had a text from a chap I know, think he lives close to Warwick as that's where I met up with him once when we first met.

He texted me yesterday telling me a bird I bred him last year has just won 2nd club 2nd fed 3rd Combine from Fougeres in France 270 miles. Always very nice to hear your birds are doing well for others especially this season when I haven't raced old birds my self and have had no racing results.

He wanted to know If he could push the pigeon further on as hes obviously keen to get more results, but as my birds are mostly sprint I advised him not to.

I agree up to this year many ybs I give away went into stock lofts this year I was more careful who I give them to also was in a test loft with a top fancier at end of the yb racing he ask if he could keep the bird and race it as a yearling and in his words he really like the bird or he not ask I said yes never to hear from him again and if he reads this I don't now want to

Good stuff Rudd it's A-OK if you blow your own trumpet here etc. We are a very understanding lot ??? . Now in relation to pushing your pigeon further, I would suspect if it's one of many why not, but if one of a few caution may tend to be the best bet for him. Especially if he is looking for a good performance cross to go into his pigeons there.

Not a problem Rudd I hear on the grape vine there is a hammock spare in Bristol Bay "Free" on a certain ship etc. Food is crap but I could put up with all that  just to see your birds & have an extended holiday of sorts.

i thought they were clamping down on illegal immigrants rudd

Maybe Mark "Illegal imigrants" But what is one more etc especially if he is a special type of of sorts & when you see those in France now, jumping aboard the lorries there "Big time" for a free trip to paradise ??? . Also I amagine the Bean counters     I would suspect, wouldn't worry too much about one sleeping in a hammock in Bristol Bay     on a   ship etc.
