I went racing at the Curragh and was surprised to see it was still being forced on people outside, gamblers don’t like pass up on any additional luck or risk a romany curse so those gypo’s were making an absolute fortune.

Lucky Heather
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -

Don't mess with the travellers....

We used to have a camp of them near us, and the older women would come in to the village during the week, to sell pegs and heather and stuff.
I remember one week, 3 pensioners in their 90's all died, and rumour got round it was because they didn't buy any lucky heather when the traveller ladies knocked on their doors.

.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Round where I live they just try and take over the local pubs. Any resistance usually causes the pub to be trashed.
There was an article on the news last night about Basil Brush and his "racist" quip about the theiving pikeys(My words, not his).
Someone interviewed suggested that we should be celebrating the good things that the travelling community bring to society.
Obviously this resulted in a mouthful of Shepherds Pie all over the TV screen and the shouted comment of "!!!
