East Anglian Group name

[chocl8]

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 ) 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

[chocl8]

talking of immature, bockers of the bulge could be taken in a whole different way.....!

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

[chocl8]

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.

[hybrid_hex]

how about Bog Trotters? thats what they always call me at work, or swamp diver.

[English-tailor]

I think you should be the East Anglian Bockers.... end of chat

[Locky]

me too

[Kiola]

our name was basically inspired to us by someone saying me looked like dinosours ..

[chocl8]

I got called an idiot, but thats not very inspiring....

[adzi]

[chocl8]

It does have a certain ring to it.....but i dont think it sends out the right image

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)

3 Choose decriptive word carefully 

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

I think the same should be applied to Adzi...

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

[Hilly-of-the-Marshes]

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

[chocl8]

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?!?!?!?!

[chocl8]

and also to reply to the "free label" comment, i didn't mean anything harmful by my comments, i just didn't know! However......

[sprog]

On the "other forum" this is now a long running joke, hence it being on the page.
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

[Jason]

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

[chocl8]

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!
