i was out on my pj's today and i walking through a park and i got soo many questions OMG most of the people were looking at me and asking lodes of questions
Are you disabled?
have you got legs?(noo what are these)
how long did it take to get used to?
how much?
can i have ago?
its really annoying i dnt mind the odd few questions but to many is boring =]
some of the questions were really stupid (have you got legs? wtf lol)
let me no what problems you have
luke :Cwink: :Becky:
-
If you've got bocks on... expect to be asked lots of questions, or go bock in a quiet area.
-
get used to it, if we all had 50p for each time we'd heard
"OI! m8 do a backflip yeah innit"
we'd all be going round on skips XD
-
id have more than one pair of skips, Warrignton is chav infested, i had about 20 ppl say do a backflip in the time space of an hour, it was insane!!

round london (especially staines XD) we get oi! do a backflip, before we've even put the bocks on
oh and the other favourite is
"wow, they're them fings innit"
-
lmfao
ive had "are you disabled" i usually say yes i am, i cant walk, and then run off just to confuse them :P
or the classic "are they real" :Claugh: (looking down at the stilts attached to my leg) nope there imagenary :P
you just have a very weird mind, ppl on spring loaded stilts? Are you sniffing somthing :P
-
LOL LOL
" oh i thought you had no legs " .... yeh so the docs put me on sprint loaded stilts and a 15 inches taller... rather than prosthetic legs!
then there is the other classic.. are those the same things that that paraolyimpic winner wears?
-
me and confusedmind13 both get the same question everywhere we go........."ARE YOU GUYS IN THE CIRCUS?!" maybe i will start painting my face like a clown just for s & g.
-
haha...yeah I'm definitely planning on putting a costume on, and going around through the downtown area where I live!! btw, I'm right in Detroit, MI too! ... you must be Derek's friend, I already said hey to him.
-
Well I haven't even got mine yet (tomorrow hopefully), wore a friends for about 40 minutes tops in 3 different areas and just got constantly told it would hurt when I fell over, I really can't wait for the 'have you got legs line'
-
You will laugh at your post in a week or so. First time you hear something like that its funny...2nd, its still a giggle...after that it just gets annoying :D
The one that annoys me the most is about the guy with no legs and the Olympics. If you don't know what I am on about...don't bother reading about it, you will be told many times :D then there is do a flip...grrrr
btw, falling isn't that bad, if you are padded up good then it should be ok. I have fallen quite a bit now and I usually just end up sliding. As long as you dont lock up its ok. I can't promise it wont hurt because it depends how you land but stuff like pads and not locking up will minimize chances of injury/pain. Don't worry about it..if you don't fall you are not trying hard enough so don't let the idea of falling hold you back.

hey yea the other day on my way back from stains, I suited up when i got to the station where i live (so i can bock home) and there were about 10 families of orthodox jewish people at the station .....
At first i got one little girl just stood there, staring at me .... I looked up after about 5 mins of staring and i said 'Hi' and she was like: "WHAT IZ THEIS"?? (lol no 'hi' or small talk, strait to the questions)
I explained what the stilts were ... and in a matter of like 2 mins there was (no jk) 30 kids stood around me ranging from 2-10 with all their little jewish curls and what not - with mouths agape !
It was as if i was an alien that just landed :Claugh:
the looks on their faces were just priceless ...
-
Nah, if you were an alien you'd be surrounded by scientologists
The best way to deal with questions is ridiculous replies, eg.
"Where do you get them?" - POUNDLAND!! (best part was they actually ran off towards poundland!)
"What are they?" - Bedtime "couples aids" (I didn't say it quite like that, but I think you understand)
PS. dont try these at home kids, especially not with chavs

I have to say, it's somewhat distasteful to say you are a disabled athlete when you are not.

like he's all that disabled, he can run better than most of us.
And anyway, if the person asking hasn't realised that his are instead of his legs, and ours are strapped on, they deserve a distasteful comeback in my opinion :P

If you find this distateful I am sorry. But as Kaz says its the sarcasem of someone thinking that that guy has powerisers for legs.
