When are OGA gonna realise that their stupid flyer girls just piss people off
[quote]
You have to admit though, that it gets the Event publicly known and "out there", rather than being 'underground'.

e.z.

Hey, don't call anyone a 'tart' unless they earn it bro. Especially not on Biggie! The girls are (as a whole) lovely people!

As for their flyers, it's easy to just say 'no thanks', I've been doing it for years and it doesn't bother me much. If noone tries to bridge the gap to the 'newer' people on K Rd.. What would happen then? A lot of people don't pick up flyers from clothing stores etc, they need it handed to them (lazyasses Wink

So take it easy on them - They're not exactly all gung ho about approaching strangers a thousand times an hour eh.

They need to get new skirts Razz

I saw a couple of the girls outside Big Boys Toys today, the skirts made them look like Irish Dancers.

The pants with the stripe down the side looked much nicer Smile
[quote]
i think they should have pom poms and do cheers... girls i saw on Krd on Friday nite were mean looking :S
[quote]
i dont mind them Smile

But the litter left behind Sad
[quote]
Be careful who you go randomly calling tarts. That is a VERY unfair comment. Although I only know one of the girls (who is lovely and most definitely NOT a tart) the others all seem lovely too.

Like Dr.J said - if you don't want a flyer then just say no.

They aren't harming anyone - keep it up girls!

Smile
[quote]
I happen to know one of the 'flyer tarts' and she's actually really nice.
[quote]
Yeah they all seem like pretty nice chicks.... just tell them no dude.... they don't care if you don't take their flyer... they still get paid. Keep up the good work girls. Smile
[quote]
I had one of them go to hand me a flyer outside DHnF, then she realised and said "sorry, I gave you one last night didn't I?". Is it that hard to decline the flyer and say no thanks?
[quote]
I do object however to having people slap a Gatecrasher sticker onto my shirt without even asking if I want it.
[quote]
haha, whats wrong with that?
[quote]
yeah i think new outfits are in order for the girls. wen i was at ministry of sound i saw 3 blonde girls standing behind the bar. all with exactly the same tone of blonde. i was very critcal at first, but i shouldnt have been. those girls were so lovely i couldnt get over it. =) i just think they're not really making themselves look that great by all looking the same. but they were lovely and i felt really terrible for thinking negatively initially =(
[quote]
the girls are nice enough but the OGA uniforms
are REALLY wack ... is it a forerunner for us
buying OGA 'merchandise' ? fat chance ...
[quote]
Sure your worried, they seem nice enough, look good plus its always nice to be notified of an upcoming dance party Smile
[quote]
The rubbish in the morning i agree Jass is disguisting - 3/4 of the Flyers are discarded to the ground and when I walk out at 7am I dont see no OGA girls nor
[quote]
I used to also go out with one of those 0GA girls,
she was in no way a tart and is actually a really nice person.

theres a thread in the lounge about judging people by the way they look.

Fuck it's a job, they get paid to wear the uniforms
[quote]
Yeah, I think they could do much better with the uniforms, bring back the lime green. I was a OGA girl myself for a while and admit that I didn't think I'd come accross so many rude people on KRoad. It's not hard to say "no thanks" instead of grabbing the flyer and throwing it obviously on the ground 2 seconds later. However there are also many friendly and happy people on KRoad that make the night seem worthwhile. So if you do see a OGA girl out in the cold, working hard while others are partying, give them a smile and say "good job". That would have made my night.
[quote]
no offense, but do you really expect people to stop and pat the OGA girls on the backs because they are standing on the street handing out fliers?

I'm sure they are nice people but it's not exactly like they are using their intelligence or saving the world...

I think expecting people (who are having a good night out after working hard all week to earn their money) to stand in awe of some flier girls is a bit rich.

Do you guys defend absolutely EVERYBODY? I think sometimes people on here take things all a bit too seriously........and maybe (just maybe) they can be a little annoying sometimes when they are handing out fliers, fair enough point I thought.
[quote]
no I'm just saying it's a job...
they get paid okay money to do it.. so why not
if you don't like it, say no thanks.
and yes I will defend people that I generally know are nice people.
[quote]
I understand you defending their character, but surely there is nothing wrong with someone finding a flier person a little irritating. Yes it's a job, but the nature of the job is to try and get people who are otherwise occupied to take a flier

Hell, I sure as hell find the influx of flier people on K-Rd annoying, there is such a thing as overkill...
[quote]
hehe yeah fair enough...
I just disagree with people abusing the worker, calling them tarts etc when the people they should be aiming their comments too is the employer.

It's just like bitching at the gas station attendant over the price of petrol
There's fuck all he can do about it..
[quote]
fair enough....

so Mr Davis should be called the tart?

teehee Wink
[quote]
no comment...

hehe.

Sport! Get over yourself? Are you male or female?

If you are male my theory is that you got the knock back from one of the girls, if you are female - perhaps you have a couple of self esteem issues?

I know at least three of the OGA girls, in fact the one I know best had her birthday yesterday and she is one of the most down to earth people I know which is refreshing in this sometimes 'superficial' clubbing scene.

Act like a TURTLE and pull your head in.

Smile
[quote]
Oh - and once you have finished doing the turtle thing for me. Pick up a Marketing text book and you will see that there is some pretty sound reasoning behind the flyers.

[quote]
man, some people on this board have a real serious anger management problem....

personally who cares who knows who personally - it's about the job they do right?...and anybody that waves fliers in my face annoys the hell out of me too so I say good for sport. Flier people CAN BE VERY ANNOYING.

If YOU pick up your marketing text book CeeJ you'll see that it's people like sport that facilitate change and improve the effectiveness of marketing stratagies by pointing out what they do and don't like. Hence people do market research - to find out how much people really like their products, services, marketing, etc, etc

And just because it's a job CeeJ doesn't make them any less annoying, no matter what they are like in person Smile
[quote]
Exposure is more important than pissing off the odd person. And even if they do annoy person A, person A is still likely to go to the event that they have been made aware of.
Oh yeah, they may have been aware of the event before, but repeated exposure is far more effective. That is why Coca-Cola (to pick just one company) advertises repeatedly every hour every day. If if didnt work, they wouldnt do it. : )
[quote]
And it works so well. Otherwise you might be able to move and dance with a bit of space at OGA eh
[quote]
to be honest I don't really find coca-colas advertising campaign very annoying. I'd say they have some very smart people in charge Smile

molatov - I think that's more to do with overselling an event that a few girls handing out fliers, but I agree with the lack of space to move
[quote]
OK next time i'll put a little * at the end when i am using irony
[quote]
snazzy - what evidence does 'sport' have that the OGA girls are tarts? I understand completely the annoyance at having flyers handed out, but theres no need to refer to the people that do it as tarts. Those girls probably have more clothes on that half of the people that go to OGA events anyway. Its part of the scene. Resorting to personal attacks about someone because you dont like what they do is immature.
[quote]
Sport - WTF? Do you actually know any of the One Green Apple girls?
One of them happens to be one of my best friends and i take GREAT offence to her being called a tart, as she is one of the coolest chick i know.
So, before making calls like that, please have an idea of what you are talking about
Thanks

Most of the OGA girls are damned sexy, I am just glad they talk to me.
