Mr Scrooge !!!.

One is not required to talk about the kindness & generosity of certain members here on this forum, in helping out other members with birds at times etc. Most know who they are  but just let me tell you, not all fit in their basket as such I'm sadly . Now !!!.  My old club when I first started here to my present address is going through a rough time unfortunately "100 members, now down to 20 odd" & they decided to have an auction to raise funds to help cover expenses which are running at around 4/5 thousand dollars a year & they did a ring around of the top flyers here to see if they could help out, which most have done out of their kindness as they know in the present situation in our sport, we all need to help each other to survive in this day & age etc. But, sadly one man ??? & one man alone stood out from the crowd, by his lack of pertisapaition sadly on the day & here was years ago a club member also there, which made his grand effort from my point of view rather pathetic unfortunately. Now some here would by now be beginning to think what's this bloke on about      I suspect but the man under discussion here by his own words "Not mine" is a guru of our sport  he believes & many may have read his books or bought his goodies which are on offer etc & I will leave this subject at that & say Well done Dr Spock etc, you are a real credit to our sport, not .

shame you are so far away knackered, if you wernt im sure some of our gang here would have been happy to donate a yb or two.......

Come on now with a tail wind etc it's only spitting distance David     I believe, so your excuse is just not acceptable I'm      . Now with my little rant above     I  forgot to mention the man in question only has 100 pr of stock birds, plus spares & 700 odd in his race team. So one can fully understand where he would have trouble finding one for an auction etc that was for a good cause .

you must be referring to the vet ...holding onto every penny like its his last ,he needs to wake up as pigeons and their owners have made him a pretty packet and really should be putting something back into the sport

Steady on O/S would I dare suggest anything that would harm some ones reputation etc in our sport. All I would say thou is I know of a hippy type flyer, that now's flys like a dog in his old age sadly & another one, that was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, who also now flys like a dog also.  But he his spending an absolute fortune to achieve that rating with his birds .
