cypher000 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Looking at my post from my now helpless perspective. I wonder why I bother. But I am and always have been, a scrapper. So....The thing is I have been trying to get hold a a couple of decent Wood Pigeons to pop in my freezer, with the intent of eating them. Six weeks ago I was told that I have a mere three months to live. Not something I can argue with when I look back at my rather ragged medical history. But what raised my hackles up most, was the fact that I have been trying to get a couple of decent stoggies to make myself a lovely meal with and just haven't been able to locate one, never mind two. Does any of our illustrious members live in or near to my home town. HULL? If so, is there any possibility of one of them getting me a brace of these naughty, but so tasty birds, so that I can indulge my dream meal whilst I still have time to do so. I am not looking for the proverbial free meal, but will pay the going rate as expected. Love to hear from someone out there.

Like many members on this forum I would gladly had helped this gentleman out with a regular supply of fresh pigeons , but sadly due to the distance this wouldn't had been possible . Good of you aga man to offer this member a few fresh pigeons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cypher000 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Yikes! What a lovely response to my post. This is something that I cannot get over and to say that I am overwhelmed would be the understatement of the year. I shall sleep tonight, knowing that soon, courtessy of Aga Man, I shall be getting a brace of Wood Pigeons. The sheer pleasure that these will bring me, will far outreach the effectiveness of Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy, wonderful though these treatments are. Thank you, you lovely people and forgive me as I drool at the thoughts of my, soon coming, gastronomic miracle. Again, thanks and special regards to you all.

motty Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Nice one, Aga. Make sure you take him some good eaters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Well, just returned from taking the pigeons across town to this chap and I am so pleased I did. A lovely fella in his mid eighties greeted me at the door and invited me into his home. As we chatted it became clear the man has been through an awful lot lately, but still takes whatever life can throw at him. Salt of the earth we would say round these parts. Hope you enjoy the stoggies Walt, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
