Copied from a msn convo with J cos im wayyy to lazy to type it again.

Ok so im spinning fire on my college yard, in the middle, nothing around me, did some fire breathing and then sat down with my mates at the side and chilled. Next minute I have two cops walking up to us.

One said that someone had complained that someone was flinging offensive fire weapins around and he asked who was doing the spinning.
So I said me
And he asked he what they were

Well you can image *UP STANDS ajclarke poipoi moderator giving it the whole presentation about poi Smile

He was like well your obviously sensible, (he obviously didnt see me fire breathe :P) and said im not gonna go harsh on you, can you just go do it on the field or something where your away from houses
im like Sure Officer! *Good boy impression*

Woot

Aj 1 - 0 complainy boring people

I felt kinda sorry for him, cos he was like, probably wanting a go (who wouldnt)

He even said to me summat like " some peeping toms watching over there so we have to follow these things up" can you pack away and move somewhere quieter :D

HAHA. SCORE for AJ

hehe

Some people eh, aint got the balls to come out themselves and call the popo.

And to think these people could have just come over and asked and their fears might have been lifted. Wasting police time is the charge for them my friend.

Your the victim in all this though, being treated like a chav. Well god damnit were better than that.
Were you wearing a hoodie?
Were you drinking cider for a 3 ltr bottle?
I think not!

I hate the popo.
Anyone want a bacon sandwich?

That was a sweet vid J.

Back on topic though, I was wearing a hoodie, because the hood protects my hair and it wont burn and melt to my skin etc.

But yeah, so much time could have been saved if they had the balls to talk to me themselves

You should invent some fire retardant hat or something. Like a fishing hat with scotchgaurd or scorchgaurd as needed.

Hmm, I try and put myself in the spectators shoes in situations like this.

If I had no understanding of what fire spinning was, and saw some youths outside my window playing with, what is to the best of my knowledge, firey weapons - I wouldn't go outside and confront them personally Wink

Well done AJ for handling the situation calmly and explaining to them what its all about Very Happy

I've heard plently of stories were spinners have flown off the handle, in incidences were onlookers were a little worried and just wanted things to be checked out.

Now hopefully, for one slight inconvinience caused for you, this'll prevent future misunderstandings in your area Smile
