Canuck March 17th, 2003, 11:19 PM You mean to tell me that there wasn't a brawl in the Timmies that required assistance of our finest?:out: Pez de Diablo March 17th, 2003, 11:37 PM I love it... Ehh! LOL That's just too much. DivingGal March 18th, 2003, 07:25 AM Too funny. Bubble Boy March 18th, 2003, 07:37 AM Its purely for the contest reasons I am sure. I am certain one of those parking spots is for the disabled. That must be the Sgts spot. ScubaScott March 19th, 2003, 10:53 AM Thats looks about right, doesn't it SS TCDiver1 March 19th, 2003, 11:05 AM I thought Sony, Denon, Pioneer, etc, were sterotypes.:) Seriously though folks, i wonder what the Krispy Kreme people think of this pic? Butch103 March 19th, 2003, 11:11 AM We have only one Krispy Kreme in Ontario and it is in Toronto, and the police control the traffic outside it......They don't have to park inthe parking lot........ LOL.........:D tinman March 19th, 2003, 11:16 AM Much maligned, much misunderstood - they were just there escorting the Brinks man out to his vehicle! Do you have any idea the kind of money a Tim Horton's rakes in a day! (oops, I guess only a Canadian Coffee addict will be able to understand) This is priceless. One of my best friends is a Staff Sergeant with the Ottawa Regional Police - he'll love this. Tx for the pix! P.S. You couldn't pay me enough to do the job they do! P.S.S. You do realize it is only in Britain and Canada that we have real COPs, the USA has POOPs... COP - Constable On Patrol POOP - Police Officer On Patrol TCDiver1 March 19th, 2003, 11:30 AM tinman once bubbled... P.S.S. You do realize it is only in Britain and Canada that we have real COPs, the USA has POOPs... COP - constable on patrol POOP - Police Officer on Patrol I have several police officer friends and they would be the first to admit "doughnuts" are mission essential food. Kinda like air to us. Related to your quote, why does Dudley Doright keep coming to mind?:D weight_for_me March 19th, 2003, 04:17 PM The OPP relocated here locally to a new parcel of land. Guess what's going to be built next to it:confused: Yup...a Tim's. At least you know where to find an officer if you need one. Randy... PS..I'm with Tinman. They do a great job:clap: tinman March 19th, 2003, 04:46 PM "No doughnuts were harmed during this investigation..." I think they have figured out the proper SOP for Coffee shop infiltration: 1) Insure there is sufficient constables to cover all exits including infiltration from bathrooms. 2) Keep vehicles in clear view & block driveby line of sight while imbibing body fuel. 3) Increase intimidation factor via coordinated swat team entry of property - insures quick service and mimimal likilihood of bad guy encounters. I enjoy teasing the ones I admire - just like all you wonderful Men In Black that float below me in those deep dark places... And if any officer or constable is offended by the above, I can be found in the PNW, white male dressed in black with funny looking blue gloves that bears a striking resemblance to a camel, aka UP, Pug, Uncle, Pugster... GTADiver March 19th, 2003, 05:48 PM Thread started by one of the Queens Cowboys picking on the Other People's Police (OPP).....mmmmm Rooster1 March 19th, 2003, 09:45 PM Butch103 once bubbled... We have only one Krispy Kreme in Ontario and it is in Toronto, and the police control the traffic outside it......They don't have to park inthe parking lot........ LOL.........:D a blatant malicious lie:D We have a Krispy Kreme in windsor for a year now. Good donuts and good coffee but Timmies still rules the coffee. Just the picture of the Tim Hortons posted got me going:D Northeastwrecks March 19th, 2003, 09:56 PM Timmies is one of the things I look forward to when I go North. Beats Dunkin' Donuts any day. fish_bowl March 20th, 2003, 08:30 AM Hey Guys, I just got an e-mail with that picture and I thought it was great. I used to work for Tim Hortons for three years in highschool and you know what? The cops would come in everynight. In fact they all knew who I was and were really nice. The catch is that they, well this was when I was there, got free coffee and donuts from Tim Hortons. So if you were a cop, wouldn't you go there for your break. I mean lets not just centre out cops. Ministry of Natural Resource and Department of Fisheries and Oceans workers are also very apt to frequent a Tim Hortons Location. Espeically after a night of drinking. (not that I have held any positions within these organizations) I have talked to the Odd Ambulance driver asking them if this was an emergency stop and they agreed. I think Just about everyone likes Tim Hortons and the cops just tend to have very flashy cars (government employess park far so they don't get noticed). Anyway that is my imput. Fish Groundhog246 March 20th, 2003, 10:04 AM fish_bowl once bubbled... I used to work for Tim Hortons for three years in highschool ....when I was there, got free coffee and donuts from Tim Hortons. So if you were a cop, wouldn't you go there for your break. Almost all coffee shops, restaurants, etc. will give an officer a free coffee, especially those that stay open late. What better preventative to a hold up could you get, than an police car in your parking lot? I know quite few officers and all like their Timmie's. They're entitled to a coffee break at work just like the rest of. Reminds me of a photo in a local paper last year of a group of almost a dozen city workers sitting in a Tim's at 1:30 in the afternoon and the ensuing uproar about lazy municipal employees. A follow up letter to the editor from the head of public works, revealled that this particular crew had just finished repair of a major waterline break. They had been called in at 6:20 am, worked outside in temps hovering around freezing with a light drizzle, NON STOP to repair the break and get the street open to traffic and had finished about 10 minutes before the photo was taken. Yes, I do realize the photo was "humourous", but I think too often we look at these guys (and gals) as having easy jobs. I for one, would not want that job. There are much easier ways to make that kind of money. fish_bowl March 20th, 2003, 10:09 AM I was just saying that yes it is true that they go to Tim Hortons but as you mentioned they are on their break. Its hard when you work for the government federal, provincial or municipal because it does not matter what you do someone will complain. I also understand working hard and such. With the MNR and DFO we would be grabbing our only coffee until we had to enter the bush and not come out until 10 hours later. It was much needed at the time and just easier then making coffee at work. Plus timmies is good. I liked all of the officers that came into my tim hortons and they liked me as well. I agree lets give them a break. they work hard (p.s. I recently applied to the OPP as a female officer so lets see what happens) Fish tinman March 20th, 2003, 10:13 AM gedunk once bubbled... Related to your quote, why does Dudley Doright keep coming to mind?:D ...ahhh Dudley, my kinda guy - I bet he dives with a long hose and routes it around his chin... GTADiver March 20th, 2003, 04:07 PM fish_bowl once bubbled... talked to the Odd Ambulance driver Fish seeing as your applying to join the OPP I thought I would let you know that they really don't like getting called drivers. They like being called medics or paramedics but never drivers. They don't like being called orangeline taxi either in the Ottawa area. I think stretcher fetcher will get you in trouble too. Also dont call the firefighters: fire truck drivers, hose pullers or water ferries. When you need them they will be more responsive if treated with respect. SneakyB'tard March 20th, 2003, 09:42 PM Spoken like a man who has handled hoses before and had a crown on his shoulder at one time or another. earlj March 21st, 2003, 08:51 AM Sounds and writes suspiciously like a guy that used to work around Brian Carter. fish_bowl March 22nd, 2003, 10:45 PM First of all I'm sorry about offending people. Jez. See no one knows me and my silly little ways. I mean no disrespect to anyone by saying ambulance drivers. Its just the way I talk. Sorry. Just like I say "the talky box" for the tim hortons drivethrough or "the thing a majig" for just about everything else. Sorry.. Fish:( scuba-punk March 22nd, 2003, 11:26 PM I wonder what the TH's on the other 3 corners of that intersection looked like........ -Frank Doppler March 28th, 2003, 06:34 PM scubapunk-17055 once bubbled... I wonder what the TH's on the other 3 corners of that intersection looked like........ -Frank You obviously know the lay of the land up here Frank... 'course, now that Wendy's owns Tim's, no intersection in the continental US will be safe! Double, Double Axeman April 5th, 2003, 12:03 AM ha! that is funny stuff. SubMariner April 5th, 2003, 10:49 AM The OPP always get their crueller... film at eleven Love it! I also think that Timmy's ROCKS... beats the H E Double Hockey Sticks out of ANTYHING they have in the States. ~SubMariner~ A Canuck in the Deep South wb416 April 5th, 2003, 11:46 AM tinman once bubbled... P.S.S. You do realize it is only in Britain and Canada that we have real COPs, the USA has POOPs... COP - Constable On Patrol POOP - Police Officer On Patrol I'd heard that "COP" was derived from a large population of Irish Immigrants to the US that comprised a large segment of Law Enforcement and because of their copper badges were referred to as "coppers" and later shortened to "cops" [how's that for a long "run-on" sentence?] Urban legend or fact? SneakyB'tard April 5th, 2003, 01:40 PM Around the year 1700, the slang verb cop entered English usage, meaning "to get ahold of, catch, capture." By 1844, cop showed up in print, and soon thereafter the -er suffix was added, and a policeman became a copper, one who cops or catches and arrests criminals. Copper first appeared in print in 1846, the use of cop as a short form copper occured in 1859. But could be corrected..
