b40rt Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/art...ain-platform.do Will the mother sue the train company because the platform wasn't flat and there were no warning signs ? Or the pram manufacturers because the wheels were round, and again no warning about gravity ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're assuming Copey is "fun" & a "lively conversationalist". I mean no offense TooFastTim, but I think we may have a different opinion of what is fun and lively conversation. Mine tends to go in the direction of (Drink Beer, Act goofy, drink Beer, Be stupid, Fall off things, laugh a** off about it) Edited October 18, 2009 by ZIPPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 You're assuming Copey is "fun" & a "lively conversationalist". I am not! I have a dry sense of humour and am a total unsocial introverted mechotechno geek! Too the extent that I absorb soo much digital data on a daily basis that I could puke! I think Zippy has a better idea of quality time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercoman2k8 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) One of my youtube subscribers posted a video about this the other day, but he's American... same difference, it focused on the fear driven into children these days, but also covered this topic.. Sums it all up pretty well I reckon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dE4UgY7lgI Okay, maybe not... but still worth a watch!

shercoman2k8 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Good stuff! Thankfully, I was born in a time that required skill sets! Indeed, I was born to farming parents, in Wales before we moved up here. I was shooting 12bore shotguns when I was no older than 7 or 8, an driving farm vehicles at the same age, because it was needed... I was taught how to do it safely, and was told about the consiquences if I misused it. Yes, I was a bit weary for the first couple of times, but it became habit, and it was done safely. I know kids, and even adults who are scared to even go in a car, driving or not driving... Im guessing it was because they were brought up being told that vehicles were dangerous things... Theres no point in teaching these so called "skill sets" if the person is already scared ****less of the thing. Its like me with the trials bikes... I've been riding trials since I was five, and I was taught how to ride in a straight line, taught how to go round in circles, then told to go off, and practice what I like.. But I was told, if im stupid, or come off, its gonna hurt. So I did, I went off and practiced, and practiced how to ride over small areas of rocky terrain, with the rocks getting bigger as I progressed. Theres kids round here who are scared to even ride a pushbike, because they weren't taught the basics, and therefore never rode, and therefore never came off, so that fear of falling off is still with them... As soon as you fall off once or twice, you'd be fine, and would endeavour not to do it, but these kids... they wont even get on a bicycle to try. Anybody see a connection between Nanny States and Obesity? I would go on about this, as I had to do a study for school, but I fear I may bore you.

zippy Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 HAM2 Posted Today, 10:35 AMI'm all ears. Would it be Politically Incorrect of my to refer to you as Dumbo? (The loveable Disney elephant with large ears that could fly) Or should I say that you are auditorially gifted? Took my boys to an indoor Mountain Bike park in the winter time and they LOVED it. Crashed a couple times, got that out of the way, and back up to go again. I was so proud when they crashed, said OW! and got right back up and hopped on the bike and tried it again.

I wish I could still bounce back, but it seems to take much longer to heal now! Not that it all still works that well to begin with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hey Cope or anyone else if you're interested in Mountain bikes or park style BMX and happen to be in Ohio check this place out. It is AWESOME!!! Ray's MTB Cope I understand the taking longer to heal, I now wear a knee brace when I ride, Damn Osteoarthritis. The brace helps hold the joint apart a little bit so the 2 ends of the bones don't slam into each other as hard. Actually works pretty good.
