The Limey look?

(Overgear) #121

When do we get the hat from the Cat in the Hat?

(zenstar) #122

SD just need to copy TF2’s database of hats.

(sparky) #123

I’m sure there might be transexuals in the future. How about adding boobies?

(dazman76) #124

Maybe one of those hats with boobies on them? Two birds with one stone.

(its al bout security) #125

oh i get it… did u know that brink has boobies in it already
?

you can hear them but you cant see them.

:smiley: riddle that only few will understand

Al,

Put the bong down and take your meds, son - the doctors want to help you…

I hope SD don’t go too far with the Limey thing, as a Bobby in a funny hat, who’s legally empowered only to shout at you will be little deterrent to a scampering light with a Carb-9!

(its al bout security) #127

does using the limey suit instantly unarm you??

But when there’s a team of 8 of them for every single resistance they’ll drag them off to the station, give them a cuppa and then put them in the drunk tank to sleep it off before giving them an £80 ‘Disturbing the peace’ ticket and sending them on their way.

tell that the the police who killed a few people recently. you seem to think that the UK police are wussies. just because they arent lard arses with guns like in the USA. in the USA they need guns to stop people as they cant run due to the donuts :wink:

i have to say a nipple hat (initially used so they could be seen in crowded streets) would look stupid. maybe a peaked cap like most of them wear would look ok. i wuold personally prefer a cooler archetype than this though.

you forgot to add ‘give them a good kicking first’.

Depends on which cops. Mostly the UK cops work by having overwhelming numbers (this is dealing with mostly drunks here… not talking about hardcore crimes). In that situation you don’t need a firearm since you can spray the sucker(s) and have fellow officers jump 'em from behind. 5 seconds later you’re face down on the ground with 5 cops sitting on your back telling you to calm down.

In the States they don’t have overwhelming numbers. Often cops have to sort things out with just their partner. In that situation you need something more than pepper spray just in case. Also remember that the States has about 5 million different policing agencies.
Local authorities & sheriffs, Interstate Troopers, FBI, and all the guys inbetween. It’s pretty complicated to police a country that large.

Different policing styles work differently. I doubt the UK police style would be effective everywhere in the USA. Likewise I don’t think the USA style would work well in the UK.

And don’t be dissing doughnuts. I could go for a good doughnut around about now but there’s nothing around here that sells them except tesco and if it comes from tesco it needs inverted commas around the name to show that it’s an approximation of the real product :frowning:

(wolfnemesis75) #135

Just goes to show that there are a lot of possibilities here. I do like the Eye Patch idea a guy came up with last week. I’d have at least one Limey or Cop with the Patch.

ahh, the illiterate yank.

anyone can find a pic and say ‘this is our cop’ see:

btw - that pic makes it look like the cops are all part of some homoerotic night

I wouldn’t go ripping off American English. I’ve heard the alleged “English” that people speak in this country. 33% Yoof speak, 33% regional accent that you might mistake for English but that’s because you can’t actually understand what they’re saying and 33% 2nd Language English. The percentages may be a little skewed since I live in London.

BTW: The english pronounce “yogurt” wrong and have a horrible way of saying “haitch” when they try to say the 8th leter of the alphabet. Yet when sayinh hospital they drop the h and say “an ospital”.

shakes head English is no longer a unified language.

EDIT: You get bonus points for the Dredd pic though :slight_smile:

(dazman76) #140

Yoghurt - debatable really, I think “wrong” is a bit harsh :slight_smile: Seems the origin is Turkish - I haven’t heard it pronounced by a Turk though, so you may be right I guess :slight_smile:

Also, the “haitch” thing - I actually defend this one. Yes, I totally agree with most people dropping the sound from words like Hospital, but were you honestly taught at school that the sound of the letter itself lacked the “huh”? Because I certainly wasn’t - my English teacher pronounced it “haitch”, in fact everyone I’ve ever heard say the letter sound, pronounced it “haitch”. The first time I heard different was on QI :slight_smile: lol, same goes for a lot of things - gotta love QI.

So yeah, it might be wrong - but it’s one the biggest Chinese whispers around!

Joe Dredd IS THE LAW. But please - no pictures of the Sly Stallone version, because that will make me openly cry. Damn they ruined the character, although they got the setting down quite nicely. Joe Dredd would not fire rockets, knowing that if he missed, they would hit innocent bystanders. Unless of course they weren’t innocent, and maybe had a bag or two of sugar stashed away. Then they’d be fair game, the meat-heads.

EDIT: Also, I can’t comment on a unified language, but English has never been sensible. Case in question:

I’m going to READ a book.
I have READ a book.

Identical spelling, different pronunciation. Nasty :slight_smile:
