reading what other people have been banned for I realised that I might just be able to top the lot :Ctwitcy:
so I humbly ask to join the banned bockers after being banned from
wait for it
...
bocking!
yep thats right my parents have banned me from buying some bocks of my own and becoming a bocker
their reason... its to dangerous as there is no one to teach me or a club close enough for me to join :Cfrown:
so does this class as a suitable ban to allow me to join? its looking like the only club I can lol :Ctwitcy:
-
Bocking safe(ish) :Crealmad:
I think Jason would have to bend the rules a long away as it's a band BOCKER group but I think Jason lets anyone in :Ctwitcy:
There must be someone near Preston ?
-
wolf if u can get to my meet then i wont tell ur mum and dad that u went on mine ;)

-
That has got to be the best reason for joining Wolf I will put you on the list
Hope your parents see the light and let you bock one day if not your'll have to wait till your old enough :Claugh: don't worry 17 comes round all to soon :Cbiggrin:

I was being rhetorical :Ctwitcy:

Nope got it right b4...
If it was your way then no one would be getting their parcels from us :P
-
well naz you know what i think about DHL
it is a very big surprise you get them at all
unlike my mac(ask :spudT:, as she has it now) in one piece
-
I too think DHL suck. But its not that bad, irritating but i had never ordered stuff online before and actually if you can speak to a human Dhl are good. If they actually delivered when they said i wouldnt of had the problem but are such things really worth stressing about? Now i know what to do i am not worried. But still, snail mail is better for me.
I have your mac. It isnt whole but itunes 3 lol.
I really think naz and the pj guys work hard. I doubt they are all bouncin around the warehouse. I think if i worked for pj i would be sick of bocks and bocking. But maybe if the guy i spoke wasnt on them at the time he might havd gotten mu name right :Ctongue:

Just checked their stats on deliveries made for us over the last few months for a 24hr service within the UK mainland, and they have consistently managed to get 95.55% or above, out of the minus 5% that didnt get delivered on the next day about 40% were customers being out and the rest were
DHL delays, in my book that makes them a pretty good courier and over the last year DHL have given us a better performance than parcel force ever achieved.
You are never going to get a courier that is perfect.
-
well naz i got to say royal mail is even better they normally pride them selfs on 99.5%
and normally even less
and as for dhl i have had soooooo many problems with them it is not worth me even bothering, broken parcles and even lousing them or even lieing saying they have came out when i have been in waiting for them.
but then that is me, and i have never had a problem with royal mail or parcle force, but then it is depends on if you know how to bend the rules in your favor
and this will be the larst from me and back on topic
-
First 95.5% is less than 95.55% !
Your OWNED
Royal mail alright if you get a good postman !?
I waited for a BIG parcle one day and watch a note being pushed in my letter box I walked to the door and it said
" Parcle was not delivered has not no was home "
I rushed out side to see the van shooting down the road ! I dived throught my house and ran onto the main road and flagged it down. Where a ##### drive told my sorry but it's not even in the van !
Royal mail at less DHL know to the letter who's delivering it, or my case NOT !

Then again I think Naz's got a sticky finger and press 5 twice :Ctwitcy:
-
but dk if that was royal mail you sould have complained and then he would have been bo**oxed and could even been sacked for such things
as i said it is good to know how to bend the rules and having a post master who made alot of them(used to work in very high places in RM, but due to illness he cant any more) as he know what you can and cant do, and like wishe i have lernt alot as well
-
....and relax :)
Personal accounts always win over stats. And that doesn't always leave you with the clearest picture. I have got stuff from Projump 3 times I think. 2 times were with DHL.
My first order (new bocks) took 3 days. Think they came on day 4. they got held up a day or 2 somewhere, and then they didnt have room the next. Then I got them.
Got calf cuffs via royal mail. Took 2 days.I was ho,e but had I not been the place is only up the road a few miles to collect.
third order was for my new springs. They got stuck somewhere and were delivered day 2, well, i got carded. Unfortunately my train got cancelled, had I got the train I wanted I would have had them lol, I spoke to a few robots, tried, and it wasnt easy but spoke to a human that gave me the number for norwich humans. And they were great, sorted in 5 mins. Just had to leave a signed note outside saying where they could leave the springs.
Thats my personal account, makes DHL seem kinda crap, especially after toddy's post. But I dont think its true. It makes me and toddy unlucky. Getting things on time is not very dramatic, but I am pretty sure most people get things when they should. It just doesnt make a very interesting story :D or annoy us and make us rant :D
Thats a bit of an essay but what I am trying to say is yeah, things go wrong, but mostly things go right, you just dont hear about it so dont just read this and think boo DHL unless you have personal experience. Like if you are there then the chances of it being fine are like 98% or something. If you are unlucky then the tracking is pretty good, if you can navigate through there phone system and get to a human they are pretty good too and getting stuff redelivered is easy.
Just dont stress :) Its not worth it and doesnt make it get there faster :D

There's something called tracking, if they lose them and if you paid for insurance you'll be covered. Like I said I’m not saying they are perfect but it really does depend on where you live to and the performance of the local delivery offices, there are some areas we consistently have problems with, usually it is because DHL don’t have a local office & they are routed elsewhere. Unless you are willing to pay for special delivery, no other royal mail service will guarantee next day delivery with adequate insurance!
First 95.5% is less than 95.55% ! Your OWNED
I’m not 'owned', I was taking the figure from the live stats for our company from DHL, If I wanted to round it up I would have said 95.6% not 95.55%
-
Ladies & gents
Have had a balanced response from both
DHL next day no probs and also the dreaded card telling me things are 25 miles away on the other side of a large city. Had the same thing with royal mail when no one around. Only good thing is thier office is only 6 miles away.
Also had local posties leave stuff with other people who are in as have dhl (my bocks!!!)

I was talking to toddy !?
I believe he was saying 99.5 was more than 99.55 :Ctwitcy:
-
Naz said 95.55, Toddy said 99.5, has nobody noticed that?
-
Naz said 95.55, Toddy said 99.5, has nobody noticed that?
Yes, me 3 hours ago :Mlaugh:
-
as naz was doing dhl figures and i was doing RM's figures
-
yeah, but everyone keeps comparing 95.55 to 95.5 and i dont see why O.o only naz said 95.55.... 95.5 was never mentioned... O.o
-
No, I think its only DK who was...
But anyhoos..Think this thread has been hijacked enough now. Everybody has said what needs to be said I think :Cmask:
So back to being banned from bocking, man that sucks. Hopefully you will be bocking soon wolf. Just dont show them any youtube vids :Cwink: or "cool pics" that make it look dangerous. My mum was a nightmare about bocking to begin with. But its not impossible. I have wanted chickens for 5 years, I asked at least every month, loads around brithdays and xmas and one day she just said yes to me having one chicken woohooo! Now I have 4 :D
:spudT:

well how can they ban you?
what is next they ban you from driving? :Cnah:
by simply not enabling me to buy them, I don't have a card of any kind to use myself so I need one of theirs
ha! the funny thing is they said they would rather I learnt to drive than got some bocks as bocking would not benefit me!
-
:banghead: Ok....
Naz about DHL
Just checked their stats on deliveries made for us over the last few months for a 24hr service within the UK mainland, and they have consistently managed to get 95.55% or above
Toddy about Royal Mail
well naz i got to say royal mail is even better they normally pride them selfs on 99.5%
You about I don't know what
First 95.5% is less than 95.55% !
Your OWNED
Made no sense, nobody had talked about 95.5%. What would it matter if 95.5% is less, so is 93% and 90%. It has no real relevance as far as I can see.
I was talking to toddy !?
I believe he was saying 99.5 was more than 99.55 :Ctwitcy:
You got in a bit of a muddle here
yeah, but everyone keeps comparing 95.55 to 95.5 and i dont see why O.o only naz said 95.55.... 95.5 was never mentioned... O.o
And Kaz did too I think. It was 99.5 and 99.55 that were being compared.
The correct figures are as stated in this thread are
DHL:99.55
Royal Mail: 99.5
Those are the only figures given, the rest are people getting confused.
Back on topic...Wolf, bocking is such a benefit. Its like confidence and fitness, shame you cant buy any :( Keep begging :Cwink:
:spudT:
-
Here's an argument for you Wolf
Lots of people have accidents in cars (expensive painfull possibly fatal)
Driving meanes you walk less (less exercise bad for your health
alone in a car you don't meet people (unless they are punching you for cutting them up)
Bocking good cardiovascular exercise
Yes you fall over but so far not many serious injurys (touch wood fingers crossed )
Go out bocking you can make lots of new healthy friends
Net result
Cars = bad for your health (end up as couch potato)
Bocking = healthy fit confident young man with lots of nice friends
Sounds like a case of teenager abuse to me :Claugh:
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
Ps you do need a car to get to bocking meets so they arn't all bad :Claugh:
-
Wolf has you can tell we are a friendly bunch :)
And what Jason said LOL
-
Plus, on another note, bocks are far cooler than cars.
How many cars can jump 6-9 feet in the air?
Case Closed. *stamps hoof* :Hoofies2: */stamp*
-
With a car can you run at 20mph? Yes, if you're hanging onto the door whilst someone else drives it, but you may die.
Otherwise, no, you have to sit and be boring and let the wheels push you. Boring.

Transformers??? :Cwink: :Ctongue:
-
transformers dont count ¬.¬
-

Why not !
That's a great answer LOL
-
lol I tried but they just are not impressed :( far to old fasioned and set in their ways by far :CSLEEP:
I tried telling them I have accidents riding my bike and that my friends mum fell off her bike and broke both her forearms and wrists + a thumb and so bocking was just as risky but they would not believe me :Cno:
and as for the keeping fit they say karate does that for me, I meet new people there and it is better as I am being taught etc
ugh its like running against a brick wall but I can see where they are coming from about needing a car and I admit I will need one to get to meets :Cwink: but currently I just don't feel ready to learn to drive they let my sister wait till she was 20 but just because what I want to do as a job will mean moving away and probably driving they are pushing me to learn :Cfrown:

Rally cars. Especially in the X games. You should have seen Travis Pastrana and the late great Collin Mcrae. He did a jump, rolled the car completely over back on to it's wheels and carried on driving. He missed 1st place by less than a second I think! ^_^ Ken Block has jumped a car well over 100ft. And a few people have made them do barrel rolls in the air. And they go a lot faster than bocks... I have to disagree that bocks are cooler than cars! ...But they're definitely cheaper!!! ^_^ (unless you buy second hand).
Wolf I think you're a little old to let your parents tell you what you can and cannot buy with your money. I think everyone assumed you were 13 or something when you said your parents banned you from buying them. Just go to the bank, get a card, and buy the bocks! Or get a friend to buy to them. You must have friends with cards. And respectfully explain to your parents that you're old enough to make such decisions for yourself.
...Unless they threaten to disown you or something. Bocks are Uberly cool, but they're not worth falling out with your family... unless... no it's not worth it. But it's close! LOL.

cars doing flips eh.....?
:CGEEK:
just my 2c
-
You love that video don't you Carl?
-
i do
and i love u! :Cwink:
-
okay, so you've all proven me wrong. But still..... none of the cars you're talking about LANDED the flips very well :D
-
NeoNinja I agree completly with you and I would if I could in a heartbeat but you also correctly identified the reason why I won't, they will kick me out the house if I do :(
so considering they are currently offering to pay $1000 of the £3000 I need to somehow raise to get to africa I think I had better try to stay in their good books :Crolleyes:
-
Yeah. Fair enough dude. Shame though. =(
okay, so you've all proven me wrong. But still..... none of the cars you're talking about LANDED the flips very well :D
How about this one? ^_^
Yes. It's from an old Bond movie.
And this is the big jump I was talking about.
