last time me and k-rock were out we were asked if bocks "were even legal, like are you allowed to be on them"
i think that qualifys as a stupid question, i know they arent meant to exist and all that but come on.
anyone been asked anything as stupid?
-
' are they real?'
Oh and to the question 'are they easy?' I now reply
'About as easy as your sister'
-
Are those really real must be the most pathetic ones I've had . She then go on to say she thought compture graphic on the Ad
And I know you mean about Bocking !?
A Copper once asked me how fast could my motor bike go !?
"60 on the the main road 70 on a motorway" what could I have said !?
"I've been paced at about 135mph on a A road and I only noticed how fast I was going when we shot pass a van and it looked like it was doing 60 in reverse" :o
He smiled even he known that was the only answer I could give !

"Don't you fall over" or "Dosen't it hurt when you fall down"
Have got to be the daftest and the silliest is "Why" must be really dumb not to realise how much fun they are

I was once asked "What would happen if I pushed you over?" I replied " I would fall over, then get back up and kick you in the head with one of my hooves. Trust me that's gonna hurt!". They moved on quickly.... ;D
-
lol ET well said i think the most stupid questtion i have been asked has to be "Excuse why are you so tall"
After hearing this i had to sit down on a wall till i stoped laughing..... at this point i looked up and the little chav had gone...........
-
'Is it dangerous?' I know that's not really a silly question. However I was sitting on my arse after a nasty fall holding my hand with my little finger bent over at an impossible angle with out it being dislocated or broken.
-
how long does it take to learn and if i push you over can i have them witch i answerd firmly with a ill give you them for £135

1. To the first question did you answer "In my experience...about 2 years but im not there yet still" !!!
2. That is the worst come back you could have ever used!!
-

GUTTED!!!!!!

Certianly he wasnt gutted par say he was more on the floor crying

-
I know its not bocking related, but was watching the Superbowl (american football) when my sister came in, It was the 3rd quarter, near the end of it, and 2nd and 10 (if you know what that means, if not I will explain) and she said the magic words . . .. 'how many quarters are there??'
-

your such a bulls**tter.....PLUS i was saying gutted to you!

Had lots of really positive comments from people in the Village when we go out.
Worst comment was probably the saddest " Whats the point" To which i replied , look at my face I`m smiling, whats yours doing?
-
to 'what is the point' the answer must be 'none whats so ever' ;D whats the point of watching a football match on telly, earning a hangover sk8 boarding train spotting a round of golf. No point whatoever but fun
Oh except golf which is the 'game of the devil' and football which is 'the team game of the devil'
-
there at least 30 annoying phrases or questions people ask while out and about. By the end of a day when people ask what they are or if they are them bouncy things I am like...yup I just get so fed up..each person wants the tour of the bock. Like no I cant be bothered...Now I have leaflets :biggrin: :biggrin: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
thanks naz yay

^^^that isht is like the golden budda bocking knowledge right there, although train spotting cant be "fun" can it?
but today i had three people ask me "are they real", at which point i took a firm grasp of their hand or arm and said "yep, look and me, in fact none of us hear are c.g.i."
we also had the very lowest I.Q'ed of all birminghams pcso's say "you know we are not sure yet if you are allowed to use them things as we have not worked out if they are a danger to public property yet or not"(we gathered she was talking about the police in genaral with that one) GOOD ONE, you wonder why real police dont like you cso's, but if thats the isht your spouting to the public its pretty clear why.
-
CSO's just want to abuse their power, and use it on you for no reason
-
yup, they the plastic police, hmmmm i wonder how they would get on with your fire :biggrin:
-
"you cannot do this here" - CSO
"I have permission from the police and council" - me
"you still can't do this here"
(pack up, walk 30 secs up the park path till cso's have gone, then return back to fire), lol
They hate me
-
i think there was people doing "poi" in birmingham at the start of the sport mile, im not up on poi but i know they were using them diablo things on the string (excuse my ignorance here) and they were spinning what looked to be small bean bags attached to long bits of material, no fire though
-
that was poi you saw, i tend to do it more with fire, as it is fun
-
i thought it was, bless em they didnt ask stupid questions
-

Have you met all the CSO's - quite a quick judgement really. Also what power do they really have to abuse?

On the subject of PCSOs, what I would say is that while they have very limited powers themselves, they are part of the new touchy-feely neighbourhood policing initiative, and they can make your life difficult on the larger scale. They attend Neighbourhood Action Group meetings and put in intelligence about what they see. Think about the sort of person that likes to go to NAG meetings and you can be sure that they are the sort of people who are worried by a sneaking suspicion that someone somewhere is enjoying themselves. Every bocker is an ambassador for the sport so I would say that your best bet is to be reasonable and polite when talking to PCSOs or other members of the plod and avoid getting all Kevin and Perry with them, otherwise you'll quickly find bocking added to the lists of things that you can't do - play ballgames, skateboard, rollerskate, smile, laugh, look happy, you know the score.
I'm in Milton Keynes a lot and I would say that it's a near perfect place for bocking - especially areas around the station and near the Theatre District - and has the world's supply of redways, but there are people out there just itching to stop us doing fun things.
-
Lol we got PCSO's taking pictures of us in Norwich. they were more than happy to help :)
I did a whole load of research on PCSO's and came to some interesting conclusions. I later put the research to a SGT of suffolk police. Alot of my findings were backed up by him or more research given. It would have been stupid for anything to be denied, I knew my stuff
-
I must admit that bocking in central london every day of the week I meet a lot of Police in all shapes and sizes from PCSO's to the heavilly armed bunch that come into the cafe I use every morning (and yes I go there on the PJ's but get off at the door it's bl**dy uncomfortable trying to sit in them :biggrin:)
I have never been asked to leave anywhere or told not to bock simply besause I make sure that I don't do stupid things
Like
Running along very crowded pavements
Bouncing too near the public (just give them a bit of space most are to stupid to realise it will hurt if I land on them :biggrin:)
Bouncing in the rush hour traffic (I did get asked to keep it to the pavement but that was in Hanworth and I was bouncing on a road junction infront of a police car :banghead: don't ask why :biggrin:)
A couple of traffic cops tried to clock me on the radar gun last week and we had a good laugh and one of them wants a set
And two weeks ago I sat and chatted to a PCSO for 20 mins (he was ex army and we talked about our broken bones :biggrin:) and he was a really nice guy and between me bouncing for the tourists and him giving them directions we had a right laugh
So my experience is if you have a laugh and chat with them the Cops are OK if you have that " What do you want Copper " attitude your bound to run into trouble
I'm sure there are some Little Hitlers out there but I haven't met any yet or maybe London Coppers are just nicer :biggrin:

i agree with ya Jason. And well they must be nice in norfolk too :biggrin: :biggrin:

All those with a problem with the police...plastic or otherwise.... it all comes down to your approach. I never have problems with cops and I have been cheeky to a fair few. I know when a joke will be taken and keep my mouth shut when it wont. If I am asked not to do something I may ask why not but in a way that questions their authority. If your asked not to bock then get off your bocks, there is always another place, another time. Dont give the sport a bad rep....END OF CHAT
-
Tho I seem to remember being told by a coupleof the welshes that they were told to stop bouncingin front of the welsh assembly building,whenthey asked why they were told 'itsa security risk'. They went away,got off bocks wnt backand jumpedupanddown in frontof him :o)
actually it is not unreasonablet o question authority. I was asked to curtail my activities because ' I think itmigght be dangerous'. I stopped, but got on to my councillor pointing out Human rights and that it was council owned areaand they had a duty of access unlessthere was a clearH&S issue, that Id stoponce but wanted a full chek made.
Security guard got his legs slapped and I bounce around Bournemouth. I dont say go out of your way to confront or confront every request. But some are plain notreasonable or really enforceable.
-
That definitely sounds the best way to deal with the issue. There's no problem questioning authority - that's part of what democracy etc. is all about, but there's a way to do it. I would alway say that if you get told to stop and go away by a figure of authority, do what they ask and then write, email, or phone their bosses, and complain/ask advice on the situation. Police in particular are always very aware of public perception, and depending on the circumstances, if they see someone doing something potentially dangerous, the instinct is to play it safe and tell that person to stop - it's largely because, if they're seen walking by and not doing anything and then the person has an accident or injures someone else, there's Hell to pay in the papers. Most coppers need cast-iron underpants to keep their backside properly covered, because right or wrong that's what a lot of it's about. If they are given guidance from above that bocking within this and that situation is allowed, then if everything goes to pot they can shift the blame upwards.
-
The police car wasn't there when I started the bounce and was when I stopped :biggrin:
Guess I'm just unlucky sometimes :haha:

Listen to the wise words in this thread, direct confrontation will not get you anywhere. I guess from your responses Capt tangerine you have experience in the area.
Most policemen will be considerate unless challenged inappropriately. As always the less experienced a person is the more they will stick to a line given by superiors or will respond to questioning that exposes thier lack of knowledge with bluster or agrression. You may win the argument but you will lose the war for us all. Better to do what it seems most do, beat a tactical retreat.

Its easiest to admit you are wrong and just give a happy appologise and do as they say. That was no reputation is being damaged and although you are a bit in the wrong you are building up a good relationship too which is good :)

Yes, Charlie B, I have a little experience in this field, although, I have to say that the only time I've fallen foul of the law was when they found me asleep in a bush in Leicester after a bit of a bender, and gave me a lift home. I thought they were very understanding :)

From time to time we have all made errors in either grammer or typing. We should attempt to write in clear plain English and check for mistakes in our typing.
By the way ET it is "That's" not "Theres" .
When you say or write "that's," remember that "'s" is a contracted form of the verb "is," and whether you use "that's" or "that is," the verb must agree with the subject of the clause.
