jonah. 775 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 just an observation,but how many defending them would actually welcome them if they came walking up your drive. from what i gather after a visit from them,your f*****g locking your sheds and moving your dogs.lol no i dont trust them personally the bad rap they get is warranted imo unanounced and not known to me in any way shape or form?, they'd get told to do one, and that applies to any other f****r, suit, uniform, non white, god botheres etc etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 46,702 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 How many times do you ever hear of this type of hassle with Romany gypsy people?.......it's always the Irish i couldn't tell the difference between the two, both inbred with a love of mullets and a fear or washing are they not? Well, in truth you aint that far off with your inbred comment as they are marrying from within a fairly small pool of people to start with, but probably no more inbred than any remote rural village where the same old families have lived there for generations...........as for the mullet, well I agree that they do look a f***ing state cutting about with those silly haircuts but from what I have seen, again its mainly the Irish tinkers and yes some of those are dirty b*****ds. But as a rule, I would say that you dont get hassle with Roma or Show people and there are a fair few good Irish lads that have strong Roma connections........its just most of the aggro is from these Irish tinkers who call themselves gypsys but they are not ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

baw 4,360 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Ah ken Baw Ah did jump in there and ah feel I`m 95% correct, but surely they can`t ALL be cnuts can they ?? With lurchers you tend to rub shoulders with them mate. To be honest, I like them. Not the extreme pish you hear about but the way they try make ends meet etc. been out with some right nutters and they've been fine. Same with the young uns. One thing I don't like, they go through some amount of f***ing dogs where you get that dog, ohhh he's a cracker, got 7 hares on the lamp 3 nights ago and 4 in daylight yesterday, all groaners, he's the best dog I've ever seen...... Want to buy him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jessdale 416 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Right After recieving PM`s I have decided to retract part of what I said earlier It cannot be that every Gypsy is that bad, and in fact I`ve been chatting to someone who ,it would appear. is the exact opposite. It also appears that I have insulted a bloke who didn`t deserve it so I`ve said sorry for it. It has to be murder for any travellers that genuinly try and get on with their life, when ther reputation is constantly blighted by the majority who seem to be constantly on the rob. If you are a Gypsy , on here, the ffs post, let us know just how many are decent grafters that don`t rob the rest of us. As I have said, I have only seen the bad side of the community, having been followed about the place to have my dogs nicked and even having to track stolen dogs to go and take them back. So how many are decent workers, and honest sportsmen that you would happy to have a run with. Photocopies of P60`s are acceptable ! Edited to add,,, can the usual "" you Gorgers fekin pay for me rangerover you muppets etc etc etc blah blah blah wer`e proud to steal from you" brigade please start there own thread, about Salukis or somit. WOW those reverse lights are blinding Now that IS funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 There are good ones among them,but in this country these days minorities get away with murder when they're settled,travelling they'll get away with 10 times more. When you give that amount of leniency and lack of responsibility to young lads when growing up a lot will be shit heads as adults. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I must agree on the comment above.... some country folk, country men, horse men etc call themselves gypsys when they are not. I no off a few fellas round this way who live in a house pay tax has a proper job etc etc, but when it comes to Appleby time off year, they get there wagons out and join the proper travellers and calm to be travellers themselves.
