Title: East Anglian Group name
Post by: chocl8 on August 02, 2007, 08:49:56 PM
Me and Trixter (formerly Lil DJ Norb) think that the east anglian bockers should have a name, any ideas? Theres a few we thought of but any suggestions welcome, cheers.....

P.s. You don't even have to be from the east, any help is appreciated!

there s already a 'jumping jack'  so things could get confusing.  Fenland  or even flatland fens look good. Joeys  are young imature ( oo see ya point ;D) beginners  so maybe not them.

Ohhh btw choc  have you hold ET u R doing london?

seeing us your bit of england juts into the north sea  what about  bulge bockers   bockers of /from the bulge

Other than the riser raptors, group names have relevance to there locality. Pick a name that mentions where your from or symbolizes it.

The only place that has more ditches is holland, hence the ditch jumpers. (well around the wash anyway), and this isn't a final thing its just ideas.

Just a couple of survival tips

I suggest you

1 Say lots of nice things about ET in your next few posts  ;)

2 Give definition of "Gay" as good, nice, kind, salt of the earth (are you getting the idea) ;D

3 Choose decriptive word carefully  ;D

If none of this has the desired calming effect on ET I'll send roses to your funeral  ;) ;D

1.I like ET, he has nice eyes...that look slightly murderous in his profile pic......and could look quite scary when wielding a chainsaw or rusty spike.....or looking down a gun barrel.....or....well......erm......oh i give up.

2.ditto

3.I'm going to fail my English GCSE

p.s. isn't it supposed to be lily's at a funeral? - wait, that woudl be my funeral...o dear.

choc like jason im old enuff to have lived thru an ear of TV when jokes about r***e and the stupidity of ethnic minority was considered mainstearm entertainment. I do not wish to see it return on the web

'Gay' is a value u free lable. As in 'he is gay'. 'she is left handed' . 'they dont know where they are going'. Now at times 1 admits 'gayness' as with gender and ethnicity can have cultural 9 even political --ut ill put that 2 1 side) significance. There are wimmin only anti cancer fun runs gay prides nottinghill carnival etc etc

i just get told 2 get a hair cut wen im bockin :( or i get 2 tell people you can buy bocks at poundland - rose fair rocked, rite choc?!!

(the above is replying to earlier posts, i think a new stream should be added for these types of argumentative posts, lol)

and may i just say iv known choc for like 5 years and i dont think he's tryin 2 be against the homosexual community, and never would be, and that this must all just be a big misunderstanding
Title: Re: East Anglian Group name
Post by: chocl8 on August 05, 2007, 09:43:28 PM
cheers hilly, i think this has all been a misunderstanding, i have a weird sense of humour, and my last post was an attempt at an apology, and to try and lighten the mood, so sorry if i caused any offense.

And on the subject of being anti people, im half chinese, a quarter irish, and a quarter welsh, so the amount of racist crap i take is ridiculous, i know what its lyk, why wud i inflict it on anyone else?!?!?!?!

Title: Re: East Anglian Group name
Post by: chocl8 on August 05, 2007, 09:54:11 PM
and also to reply to the "free label" comment, i didn't mean anything harmful by my comments, i just didn't know! However......
Title: Re: East Anglian Group name
Post by: sprog on August 05, 2007, 09:58:10 PM
On the "other forum" this is now a long running joke, hence it being on the page. :D
Much like there are also hints about Locky and Bobman, overuse of the word "s***" and similar silly things that are all meant in good fun :)
Title: Re: East Anglian Group name
Post by: Jason on August 05, 2007, 10:01:15 PM
Well said on both post chocl8 I knew you meant no harm hence the joky advice and I'm sure ET and Q will both be happy with your reply  :)

Sadly at my age as Q points out I can remember a time when to be different could at the best be uncomfortable and at the worst a death sentence

Some people who also remember these times are quick to stamp out anything that could bring it about again

I can remember when groups of lads from school used to think "Gay Bashing " was a hobby you did on a weekend

I hope that you youngsters being the youth of today and our future leaders will never have to put up with that sort of attitude or live in fear of expressing any feelings or opinions you have

In the mean time cut us oldies a bit of slack when we jump on you for saying something that to you is just a figure of speach but to us is a serious worry
Title: Re: East Anglian Group name
Post by: chocl8 on August 05, 2007, 10:10:57 PM
My problem isn't the feelings or the opinions, its the colour of my skin, which makes a bigger target, and it gets fecking annoying, so being accused of being anti someone, is ridiculous to me! I get what you're talking about, but don't always assume its the worst case scenario, as not all youngsters are as bad as that!
Title: Re: East Anglian Group name
Post by: Hilly-of-the-Marshes on August 05, 2007, 10:20:57 PM
yet i no ppl who use particular racial slurs, specifically ones beginning with "N" and "C", the latter being perhaps less obvious, but just as insensitive and irritating, as if such words are meaningless, and im quite astonished to know that people still use such despicable language, and thats from a 16 year old's perspective!
Title: Re: East Anglian Group name
Post by: Jason on August 05, 2007, 10:27:20 PM
I sure understand being a bigger target my problem at school was being the tallest h*ll I was taller than all the teachers by the time I was 12 so I sort of stuck out from the crowd

And I was first stop for every bully or idiot out to prove he was tough

We all have problems with one thing or another just some are more vocal about it

But on here it don't matter what colour, creed, sexual orientation, our even height we are were all Bockers and should stick together

And I think youngsters of today are generaly a good bunch (couldn't eat a whole one though  ;D )

And if either of those words were posted here Hilly ET and Q would be the first baying for blood

Post by: chocl8 on August 05, 2007, 10:34:48 PM
good, i love being a bocker, and im glad its all sorted out. Also i now have a sudden vision of all teenagers clustered together like a bunch of gr***es.... ???
Title: Re: East Anglian Group name
Post by: Jason on August 05, 2007, 10:48:12 PM
Nar gr***es are soft and have pips and teenagers are chewier and have those chunchy bits (Bones I think they call em) they get stuck in your teeth (fe fi fo fum as a giant once said I did say I was tall )  ;D

hey folks  get pix/vid of yourselves starting out and then meeting others. It all makes part of the day  and if u post it all it could be used in a bigger vid / photomontage  of the day ;D

Even use camera phone to take pix of alarm clock, sign at railway station, if on train lean out un take pix of bockers on station platform you are pulling into. You get the pix ( pun kinda intended :D)
