What are you watching tonight?

[thebish]

what about those living in houses? Sponging thieving skanky bastards

you live in a house....

[CrazyHorse]

hmmm... because getting pissed and trashing pubs is uniquely gypsy behaviour?

No idea.
But trashing the Three Crowns, Little Lever every other Saturday night certainly is.

pikeys, round em up...

You should know better - you can't say that. It's a "p" word.

pikeys, round em up...

all very amusing..

I believe that was done once before - that fellah with the moustache - rounded them up and killed them - half a million of them - almost the entire Eastern European Gypsy population, in fact...

[General Mannerheim]

when is Big Fat of Pakistani origin Wedding on?

Ah Godwin's Law, nice to see you invoked again.

[thebish]

Ah Godwin's Law, nice to see you invoked again.

as good as invoked by the phrase "round them up" in relation to gypsies...

genocide - not (in my book) funny - though, I understand others may think it is.

Eeh bah gum

Been a day for it, eh bishop

Indeed.

Either way, can we all just draw a line under all of today's palaver? There's a game on tonight.

but this IS the "what are you watching" thread - for discussing stuff what we are watching, surely?

[Harry Genshaw]

A gypsy said to me the other day that the people in that program weren't gypsies. They were travellers (think we used to call them Tinkers in the olden days). He was upset when I told him the ethnicity monitoring forms we use at work dont differentiate and they are all labelled as gypsy/traveller

Fcuk 'em

And we all know the bloke in a frock wouldn't defend a gathering of BNP members who behaved like the males on the show

[Lord Kangana]

Godwin's law doesn't apply to the discussion of genocide. Which "round 'em up" falls into. I'd like to be happy to help, but frankly its just tiresome to have to think on behalf of others.

[Bruce Rioja]

What Caps says... and as for Jeremy Kyle, I don't watch it and when I have I don't particularly approve of the public way people on there wash their emotional linen.

indeed - and several gypsies I have spoken to don't approve of the behaviour shown in "Gypsy Wedding" - it is no more representative of your average gypsy family than Jerly Kyle's fodder-families are representative of yours...

I heard on the wireless this morning that over the counter paternity kits are now available; so that's the end of the Jeremy Kyle show then!

I think the discussion is perhaps a little bit beyond you, CAPS - but - keep trying... you never know, one day you might stumble across summat that actually makes sense...

[CAPSLOCK]

Well I'm sure it won't be anything you've said
