| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 11:03 am » You're welcome Falkor!!!!!!!!!! |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 11:02 am » Yep, I've got a google analytics account for my website |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 11:02 am » okay Bob it has been a pleasure! thanks for coming - great chat indeed |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 11:02 am » meta data? is that still relevant to google? does google actually prioritise for metadata now? |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 11:02 am » Right time for me to get ready for work on this beautiful day! |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 11:00 am » It's well establised and what you need to do is consider the meta data on the front page for specialspro to draw google traffic mate |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:58 am » basically if you go to Google and put in "specials forums" what do you get back? you get PoliceSpecials.com which is a perfectly good site! it's been going for 10 years probably I don't know, a flippin long time I do know that much and how many competitors? a big fat ZERO - is that right? is that healthy? |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:58 am » You don't want the site to become overly commercial |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:57 am » Seems sensible to me |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:55 am » anyway back to the site - let's talk about ....so the SITE GUARANTEE, what are your thoughts on that Bob? |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:55 am » Yep good enough for a SC but not PC lol |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:54 am » Erm I had to complete an application form do an assessment centre a medical physical and interview with the chief inspector |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:54 am » oooops! oh dear, you're kidding, you were rejected on that? |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:54 am » But I was short sighted and failed the eyesight test |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:53 am » was it pretty easy to join the Specials then? any problems? |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:53 am » I was always interested in the Police and was considering a career |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:52 am » so what made you go for the Specials in the first place Bob? |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:52 am » I got a Chief Constables commendation |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:52 am » We went after the suspect and I got him, he even admitted it under caution to me he went guilty and got 17 years |
falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:51 am » what did your supervisor have to say about this? 
|
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:51 am » Just the right place at the right time, following a pub fight two brothers had been stabbed outside the pub, one died instantly the other was taken in ambulance. I had local knowledge and knew of the feud between the parties |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:50 am » amazing |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:49 am » I saw the suspect running away and ID'd him |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:49 am » how come so soon? |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:49 am » It's a life altering experience I can remember it as if it was yesterday we got to scene within one minute of the 999 coming in |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:48 am » yeah you do tend to carry that with you for a few years, I charged a few with murder in my time |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:48 am » Best day I'd say When I locked a guy up for Murder had him bang to rights |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:48 am » jesus - wow - nothing back stream then Bob |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:47 am » In as much as incidents the Warrington Bombing will stay with me for life and locking a guy up who'd just murdered someone |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:47 am » best day? |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:46 am » The camaraderie was fantastic |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:46 am » what are your major memories from your Specials days? |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:46 am » I was mate |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:46 am » Bob I understand that you were a Special? |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:45 am » Yep crashed so had to restart the paltop and the wi fi |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:45 am » no!! sheeesh |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:44 am » Woo back bloody wi fo crashed |

falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:32 am » ok cheers Arthur, smashing having you on, have a good day pally 
|
| Arthur ASCII « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:32 am » Cheerio!! |
| Arthur ASCII « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:32 am » Good to chat with you guys, but I've got to "gird up my loins" for an evening on the streets. I hope it's quieter tonight than it was yesterdy. |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:31 am » I always thought it Specials originated in WW1 so that Police called up to the Army could be replaced during the war but on watching one of the videos in our TOP TEN I heard that Specials came in way before that! |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:30 am » those monkeys - yikes I forgot about them HAHA |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:30 am » Ha ha ha Brilliant, we've got Knowsley Safari Park not far from here. I was lucky enough a couple of years ago to go to Kenya and did a Safari on Tsavo East which was wicked!!! |
| Arthur ASCII « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:29 am » I did manage to smuggle out a monkey poo on the roof of my car once |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:29 am » yeah I remember that Arthur - ummmm how did the specials originate anyway? |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:28 am » the animals the dolphins the killer whale the parrot show and my kids were aged 3 and 5 they loved it and I loved them loving it if you know whaht I mean |
Arthur ASCII « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:28 am » The last time I went there they confiscated my elephant gun! I only wanted to bag a trophy for the wall of mt study 
|
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:27 am » What was so magic about it? |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:26 am » Yeah when I was in my 20s Windsor Safari Park was like a magic land for my young kids, when I saw the inernet come along some while later I was convinced that somebody would kick off a Windsor Safari Park site but it never happened so in the end I did it |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:25 am » falkor I seem to remember you starting up a website called "Windsor Safari Park" is that right? |
falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:25 am » haha that is funny, nice one
|
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:25 am » I think the weight the fed offer is valuable |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:24 am » it is the case now but the Fed took a long time to come to that decision, was it the best decision for the Specials though? |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:23 am » I think the spongebob one is a good topic and the sick pay too |
| Arthur ASCII « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:23 am » I always understood that Fed membership was extended to Specials. If that's not the case, I'll have a word with Unison and se if WE can help them (imagine the stink!!!). |
|
falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:21 am » I meant the threads on this site do any of them particularly strike you as good for discussion? well you replied to a couple, the last one you mentioned the Federation but the Specials have not always been in the Federation have they? do they get a good deal from the Fed?
|
| Arthur ASCII « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:21 am » That's the trouble - it's down to belief. I'm afraid that I require substantiated proof (doubting Thomas that I am). |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:21 am » Did anyone see teh item on the news recently of what was thought to be a ufo? |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:20 am » ok but there are a handful of sensational videos of UFO. I believe them to be genuine |
| Arthur ASCII « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:19 am » Yup. I've seen the threads. Have either of you ever read Fortean Times magazine? I've been a subscriber since the first issue, and there aren't many debates on strange phenomena that I haven't partaken in. In all my years of study, I've NEVER seen ANY conclusive evidence of an alien encounter. |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:18 am » what the logo? yes yes |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:18 am » Yes Falkor, I'm working slowly |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:18 am » Is it saved as a png file? |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:16 am » quite right Arthur!! here have you seen the threads that have been put on the site so far Bob/ Arthur? |
| Arthur ASCII « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:15 am » Hold on though - thinking about it, I may have made contact with an alien life form last night. I gave it a non-endorseable for cycling on the pavement! |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:15 am » indeed - I was talking to mj12cz about his encounter ( http://ufoforums.co.uk/about6.html ) |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:15 am » So Aliens just just be a cloud of vapour as what is what they require to survive their atmospheres |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:14 am » I believe in it, however it;s what actual form they take. We as humans have evolved and adapted to survive our planet. If we for example were to visit the moon it would require a space suit with it;s own air supply, radiation shielding etc |
| Arthur ASCII « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:14 am » Alien life.... I'm certain it exists in some form, but I don't believe there is any evidence of attempted contact. |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:13 am » what is your take on alien life? |
| Arthur ASCII « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:13 am » I'm not really a graphics man (more of a hobby), but it was great fun. If there's anything I can do to help I'm always glad to have a go. |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:11 am » Nice to see you Arthur |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:11 am » hi Arthur THANK YOU for sorting out our logo in Supernova I know it took a lot of work |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:11 am » Really? I have a bit of a take on alien life |
| Arthur ASCII « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:11 am » Hello there. I'm just getting ready to go on shift, so I can't stay long. Glad to meet you Bob! |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:11 am » mj12cz had a close encounter with a UFO 20 years ago, I have talked to him about it and it is tremendously impacting even emotional to hear him speak, he did not tell anyone else about it for 10 years |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:11 am » never contemplated it Falkor |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:10 am » Oh yes, was very nice though!!!! |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:10 am » here Bob do you believe in UFOs? |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:10 am » oooooooo that is indigestion |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:10 am » Been the doctors and scoffed my brekkie down! |
| falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:09 am » haha good brekkers? |
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:09 am » Morning dude |
|
falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:09 am » hey Bob
|
| Bob Parr « Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:08 am » Morning |
|
falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 8:43 am » well I can't get it to show over the graduated background, I'm graphically inept
|
| Arthur ASCII « Wed Mar 23, 2011 8:42 am » The word was supposed to be cannibalise! I really ought to wake up properly before I start posting (blush) |
|
falkor « Wed Mar 23, 2011 8:32 am » hi Arthur, cannilisaie it? Arthur this is why I asked you to do it, photoshop is beyond me
|
| Arthur ASCII « Wed Mar 23, 2011 8:19 am » Hi thee. I've just sent you a logo with a transparent background. You may be able to cannilalise it to show over the graduated background on the banner (I'll probably look better). |
| Bob Parr « Sun Mar 20, 2011 8:40 pm » Although I am watching top gear! |
| Bob Parr « Sun Mar 20, 2011 8:40 pm » hello |
| falkor « Sun Mar 20, 2011 7:53 pm » cor what a shock |
| Bob Parr « Sun Mar 20, 2011 6:32 pm » Boo! |
|
falkor « Sun Mar 20, 2011 4:46 pm » good day to all
