<p>Wow interesting insight thanks for that. I think you are probably right about its never good to just associate with the people you work with but I can totally see why it happens in the police. It must be hard. We had a detective play with us in Scotland for a few years was a cracking winger and great fun on the bus trips. But would never go out in town. Probably for similar reasons as you have stated. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Funniest story is when he first came down he was being introduced to everyone. When he met one of the wingers for the 2nds he went yeah we already know each other but in a more professional capacity. They both had a good laugh about it though.</p>

<p>Don't get me wrong, my wife is a cop (we never really talked shop at home though, nor did we ever work together), and some of my closest mates are guys I met in the Police. Friendships forged through talking shit while sitting in the car on night shifts, after work beers and having each others backs in some pretty stressful situations are often pretty strong, but I my circle of friends in general is a mix of people from all walks of life. I know cops who only hang out with cops and it generally gives them a really one dimensional view on people and society. A really good movie that shows how cops interact with other cops is End of Watch. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got into playing American football because I was talking to a guy who had robbed a liquor store and he told me all about the league in Auckland. It piqued my interest enough to look into playing. Thankfully he went away to prison for a few years so I never had to square off against him. </p> -
<p>There was a strong tradition in the UK of police rugby teams, with South Wales Police basically being a firs class team back in the day, Devon & Cornwall not far behind. This went down to a much more local level as well with the police teams fielding sides every week against local opposition and that comment of "Yeah we know each other professionally" came up a couple of times. The police teams always seemed to be the hardest bastards around and on reflection I really think it was the "we know they hate us, let's get the biff in first and show we take no prisoners" sort of thing and judging by attitudes in the opposing teams, no bloody wonder. Good boys in the bar afterwards to a man. Some memorable early evenings in D&C HQ after games v Exeter Police.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy days. Once the game was over.</p> -

<p>I worked in Police Comms as some of you know and came extremely close to becoming sworn ( ie a cop ) and whilst my experience of the frontline is basically fuck all ( a few SCOPES ) I hear what AW is saying re some of the cops only hanging with "their own kind". Can't add a hell of a lot to what he has already said but some just COULD NOT switch off in social circles. It got pretty tiresome going to a Barbie, getting caught up in a conversation with two of them arguing if an incident should be P1 or P2 ( shop talk there ) and after fucking off to get another beer, go for a piss, chat with someone else or whatever come back and hear the same shit being argued !</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've worked in Radio advertising and in terms of overall bitchiness and backstabbing they don't have a patch on police in my experience. I can honestly say some of my very worst, but also very best, workmates ever have been in the police. I suppose that's true of any workplace but the extremes got me, quite often the difference between a good and bad shift was down to who were the commanding officers and supervisors. I personally couldn't stand that salute rank shit if I didn't like the individual much but conversely had no problem if they'd earnt the respect to go with the rank.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't know how some frontliners keep their cool with some of the shit they deal with, of course human nature dictates it doesn't matter the thousands of good jobs they do it's that one shit one they get hauled over the coals for ( and AW will confirm police can pretty ruthlessly throw their own to the dogs if they're in the wrong ). </p> -
AWL you can start on strippers and strip clubs if you want, they seem like the dodgiest places on earth

Hush your tongue heretic! -
Haha I'm going to get burned at the stake for that one

<p>wife looking over your shoulder huh! </p>

<p>Heaps of the clubs themselves have some quite overt links to organised crime, and the punishment for stepping out of line at them is normally one hell of a beating from the bouncers, followed by the CCTV going missing and none of the bar staff or patrons seeing anything. A fair amount of money would be laundered through some of them as well, I'd imagine. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The girls themselves generally aren't paying their way through uni like they'd want you to believe, more like paying for huge meth addictions. And, having dealt with a number of them on jobs etc, they don't look the same without a tonne of make-up and without 16 beers in your system. Plus the guys who they keep as boyfriends would make you never want to even get close to touching one of them, let alone paying them to take their clothes off. </p> -
I reckon I've been once in 10 years. I find them sad and crusty. <br><br>
Last time was after the world cup final on K Road. It was full of serious looking dodgy guys, and i was terrified the whole time. -

<p>The last time was back in 2005 at my mates stag party. Mermaids in Wellington, not long after we were there just like AW said one of the bouncers beat someone so badly they suffered permanent brain damage.</p>

<p>Someone called Vicki Lee from a reality show was the headline act , 11 years later shes on the cover of South African playboy <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.nzherald.co.nz/spy/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503840&objectid=11476033'>http://www.nzherald.co.nz/spy/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503840&objectid=11476033</a></p> -
<p>Bouncers don't throw you out of places like that, they throw you in.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They're more funny than sexy, last time I went ( from memory in 2011 for a stag do ) a mate of mine and I ignored one chick but gave her hotter mate a couple of mermaids $$ down the G banger. The original one came over and gave us all sorts of arseholes and didn't seem to like the fact we though her mate was better looking.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone who goes regularly is a fucken sadass, no two ways about it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>jegga, I remember that slapper being on a "Celebrity" treasure island type show, she was repulsive enough but her boyfriend was something else. Keith Richards changing his surname to 'Rocker" would be sad enough. Some kiwi nobody doing it is beyond pathetic.</p> -

<p>Hows the yeast infection? Also when you say all sorts of arseholes.......</p> -
<p>I didn't actually touched any skin, money ( I was generous, about 2 dollars ) on said G banger was the only contact we had. Mates of mates of the bloke who's stag do it was got far more excited about things than we did and threw loads of money their way and got nothing in return except for the sad delusion the ho's on the stage were keen on them.</p>

<p>One of the guys I was with fell in love with some russian skank who had the glazed over eyes you'd expect of a junkie. She gave him her "number" while she was walking around trolling for lapdances , I'm not sure if he was ever dumb enough to call it to see who answered.</p>

<p>She was on another show before that too, she's had interesting life since then <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/522621/Its-not-tricky-to-find-Vicky'>http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/522621/Its-not-tricky-to-find-Vicky</a></p>
<p>I'm pretty sure she's got a couple of kids to that rocker twat , hopefully they are living with her parents looking at her lifestyle in that herald article.</p> -
<p>TBH I have never been to a strip club, they simply don't appeal to me, yes I like naked women, but prefer them to be naked just for me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was in a stand many years ago at Big Boys Toy and Vicki Lee was doing a promo for a mens mag in the stand next door, plenty of practically naked girls were wandering around that day, was very distracting as I was supposed to be working, but at least most of the people who came to talk to me were only doing so to stand and stare....</p> -

<p>We wandered into one a few years ago. There was basically no one there (might have been 10pm on a Saturday night) so the strippers/waitresses wandered over and talked to us. I got stuck talking to the ugly short stumpy one (which I can only assume was a waitress, rather than a stripper - God, I hope so). Anyway, she was making comments about how small her hands were - I looked at him, matched them up against mine and uttered something along the lines of: "yes, they are rather small - they're not unlike that of a carnie's".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This did not go down well, and she then spent the next 5-10 minutes moaning about how I had called her a carnie, when clearly I hadn't - I had simply and innocently made a comparison of hand sizes between hers and someone who happens to work for a travelling carnival.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was clearly a ruse to get me to buy her a drink, which I eventually did just to shut her up. So I guess you can say she won. But she still has small hands. And may have smelt of cabbage. </p> -
