No, people of Hibernian descent who have made a positive life choice to reside in (semi-) mobile accomodation and find gainful intermittent employ through a creative and liberated interpretation of the tyrannical imperialist concept of personal property.

Is that PC enough?

Speaking of the Hibees, did anyone see that non-goal at the weekend? Hilarious

Captain Pike might be a descendant.

But I might be putting 2 and 2 together there to make 5.

And if I recall he wasn't bald.

Not bald but he did use wheeled transportation

The wheels on your chair go round & round

And who choose to shun the sort of conventional education with weekly spelling tests in favour of the university of hard knocks.

[darmstadt]

Now just imagine if they were from Romania or Bulgaria

[Doggy Styles]

Sounds good to me.

Are any of them related to Bald Headed War Criminals by any mischance?

I was watching one of those gypo wedding shows and there was some idiot in one scene saying how the police would not give him a break and were always accusing him of stealing stuff. Then in the next breath he was bragging about all the stuff he nicked. I guess when he says wanting a bit of slack etc he actually wants a bigger head start.

It pisses me off that they claim that they have this lifestyle which we don't understand and they are discrimminated against, yet they are happy to pick up the benefits our society offers. That they need to this mobile lifestyle which only seems to be mobile once the courts have finally got their @rse into gear, when they have robbed the locals of everything that's not nailed down and after they have wrecked the place where they had been staying.

A complete bunch of hypocritical There was a few of them at Picadilly yesterday. All the girls looked like really, really cheap slags while the lads looked somebody had shaved an ape and forced it into various bits of sportsware and decorated it with the cheapest gold Argos could supply.

pretty much normal


Sorry to say don't have much time for Pikeys.


And no now you can't call them that anymore its racist

There have been successful prosecutions over the use of that epithet.

[Mich the Tester]

Dunno.

Bald Headed War Criminals I think.

Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Zeity!

Ein Wig, Ein Lizard, Ein polystyrene boulder!

Sorry zeity, that just popped into my head.

What was this thread about again?

[formant]

...and yet he still leaves copper piping lying around outside?

Oh, he anticipates it now. Doesn't leave anything worthwhile for him to sell off. (but yeah, that was my first thought, too...)

[Mich the Tester]

I feel a disturbance in the force.

It's Godwin's Law approaching.

NAZI!

[Mich the Tester]

I do find they seem to feel they're entitled to steal.
Having just had my bathroom and boiler redone, they just drive up and grab any leftover copper piping temporarily stored outside with absolutely no shame. And I work from home, so they can see me in the front room. My builder says it happens to him at every single job.

When we lived in Milton Keynes they broke into our shed and stole a couple of bikes. Luckily they're keener on scrap metal than fancy bikes, so they only took the older, heavier mountain bikes and left the much more pricey road bikes behind. Idiots.

Which demonstrates that policing only works when we consent. A few people refusing to comply and the system fails.
