Naive people sometimes (03-10-23)
Sometimes the alarming thought occurs to me that the naivety of many sportsmen has no lower limit.
Each a touch of sadism (23-09-23)
Yes, sorry. Again, I'm stuck with something from earlier years in my head
My 10 commandments (22-09-23)
I saw a cool video on tv about the novice fancier Jense Brosens.
Absurdism (17-09-23)
Absurdism? No, I don't belong to that movement, although I sometimes have the tendency. Especially last July 16th
Fanatic and lazy (30-08-23)
I have been able to visit many 'pigeon champions' over the years, mainly because of the writing
Fairer (28-08-23)
'Pigeon sport is the most unfair sport that exists', you sometimes hear. I had to think about that after reading the email below after the National race from Issoudun in the Netherlands
Again errors and mistakes (25-08-23)
You wouldn't say it, but quite a few fanciers still start with pigeons. Especially in Belgium and in the north of the Netherlands, it seems.

There is work t be done (05-07-23)
“Visit for you,” said my wife. The 'visit' was already sitting in the gazebo in the garden with his bicycle next to him, another one from the time of Napoleon, it seemed.
That one column
Why do you think some people play with 75, 100 or even 200 pigeons or more?
Interesting again (13-06-23)
Some won't care, but I think it's worth it: The behavior of our pigeons on their way home.
Another sound 1 (25-05-23)
The still free young successful and above all ambitious fellow sportsman had an appointment with a vet in Belgium
The road not taken (24-05-23)
Every year in May, the thought of another birthday horrifies me. Because of another year.
