Pykies. Scum of the earth.
True story, when I was about 10 a pykie knocked on our door and tried to sell his baby to my parents.
The more episodes I watch....Insanity
Absolute balderdash
Between these people having 9 kids and Mohammed having 9 kids Louis must've already chewed through is nails
LOL
video is disabled mine explaining?
Picture East Texas
Now picture East Texas with Whabbism
Minus the ban on booze
I do not like the image. It sounds terrible.
but seriously more specifics like what group are you talking about an where, gypsies?
Pykies
Read the thread man
irish travellers?
To explain what is happening. Pykies have an ancient tradition, if a man can kidnap a girl and keep her for two days they are married, (marriage by abduction or marriage by capture). They did that so as to avoid paying the bride price to her family.
Gypsys
Odd for us "Country people", decidely nicer and more civilised than they might appear.
The one Gypsy I know best married a "country man" who worked at her father's carnival - it ended VERY badly.
So, I dunno - they seem happy enough and those girls will end up ruling their husabands in most cases.
Don’t tell me you people are not open to multiculturalism? :laugh4:
We did that as well, we even have a word for it 'schaken'. It is still somewhat customary in eastern europe (even in south-east Germany I've been told)Quote:

Pikie is the english term for an Irish Traveller they are not Gypsys nor are they even relatedd to them, they used to be called Tinkers because they were travelling tinsmith who mended pots and pans etc as they moved around. (Note it's not pc now to use the term Tinker as the term has became derogatory)
They have a migrated the same as other Irish people to the UK but they have continued to marry within there small group and naturally have not integrated into UK society like other Irish people as a result.
They still have a fairly nomadic culture so the children can tend to have little or no education, there tendancy to intermarry has a few health implications to put it delicately.
One darker aspect of the group is the resort to criminality which can be hard to prevent due to the tightknit structure of the community a policeman from the settled community will never infiltrate there gangs as there all based on blood ties.
video below is about Paddy Doherty Irish Traveller and all round hard man.

No that would be Gypsys, it would be considered an insult to the daughter and her family to NOT pay for a lavish and over the top wedding, they take insults very seriously it would lead to very violent and nasty feuding between the families no doubt. A feud in Limerick over a schoolyard fight has involved the four biggest crime gangs in Limerick as a result.Quote:

The woman makes their marital views and practices sound pretty stupid though. A clear case for Dr Darwin, eh?
AII
When you carry your bride over your doorstep you are doing the same thing. The same symbolism, if less obvious, and less forceful. The forceful nature seems to foreshadow a rough marital life of these people. Once married, the man will try to beat the bride into submission, the woman will try to nag hubby into subservience. Which, again, is not so different from mainstream marriages.
Make sure to send your children to Spanish class. They're going to need it to get a job in Texas. Like all small minorities, they shall have to adapt.Quote:

They also go to Knock shrine every year to express there devotion to Mary and also to scout a marraige partner, this has lead to some anti social behaviour plus a lot of extremly revealing clothing on the women even when inside the Basilica which has raised a few eyebrows.
Wait, wait - they bury their bereaved? And then they Knock up Mary? How colourful. :inquisitive:Quote:

Why do you people insult the romantic culture of these people?
As Louis already said, we are no better, men go out to "hunt" women, a term that reduces them to animals, and women expect men to beat others up to get them etc.
We're just as bad, life is a struggle and you have to take what you can get!
Trust me Husar there is nothing romantic about the lifestyle many of them live.Quote:
