I'm watching it now... and its just making me smile.. in a good way.
(not the eviction bit obviously)
Watched this on catchup. It may be mildly entertaining, but there is no getting away from the fact that this lot are nothing but a bunch of arrogant pikey chavs. Their behaviour is appalling, they're loud and obnoxious, and they think they can live outside the law. They got thrown out of paintball for refusing to stick to the rules (which are there for peoples' safety,) and they under-take whilst driving, and ride over the pavements to take shortcuts. They leave shit everywhere, they're loud and obnoxious, and they don't appear to have normal jobs (and you can bet they don't pay taxes!) The men are masoginists, and the women are kept down, and aren't even allowed to work, yet they're gobby and mouthy. Living in that world would be a fate worse than death IMO.
Where I live, these kind of people beg steal and borrow. I used to work in a restaurant, with a fast turnover of customers, and they would come to the counter and say that they had had a meal, and the waitress had taken it away before they could finish it, and they wanted a replacement or their money back. And when my friend worked in Boots, a few years ago, they used to come in and steal the nappies and baby wipes out of the mother and baby room. My uncle is a manager at a big foodstore, and says that they often come in to the store and deliberately trip over, and try to claim damages. Some shops and stores in my town won't even allow them in now, and with good reason. I could spend all night on here telling you similar tales of 'travellers...' and their escapades and their cons and scams.
These people think they can do what they want, and live outside the law; and they don't even send their kids to school, when the rest of us would get fined or even imprisoned if we kept ours away from school. And yet they expect 'respect' and to be treated fairly and to be allowed to stay where they want whilst living with their own laws and rules. I bet they don't even pay council tax!
I think every one of them should be shipped off across the atlantic to live their lives on an island at least 1000 miles away from the mainland. They want everything their own way, and to be allowed to live completely outside the law, so they can make their home away from the rest of us; they can do what they want then!
If this makes me a nasty, heartless, racist, bigoted oaf blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, then so be it. But I would bet that I'm not the only one with this opinion!

I agree something needs to be done about the Royal Family.
They have another big fat Royal wedding coming soon

VERY funny Erin LOL!
(Blizz and Velvet certainly think so anyway, as they keep posting laughing smileys to let us all know that!)
OMG did you hear them just say that over HALF of the travellers don't live to see the age of 50?

Oops, never seen this thread... watched it for the first time.
A piss up in a cemetery? Seriously?

I only watched half an episode a few weeks ago.
It made me too cross so I turned it off and have not watched it since.

Classy bunch aren't they Mr Mincepie. 
One thing I wonder .. most of them seem to be Irish... why is that? (I arent attacking the Irish.... just wonder why they are largely Irish......)
OMG time to switch channels. Shameless is on, what a load of shit! Another bunch of pikey chavs!

I know. Disrespectful to other people who might be visiting the graves of their loved ones.
I think you will find that the British Royal Family decendants were forgeiners,in fact they changed their name,why that?
Irish Travellers (Irish: an lucht siúil, Shelta: Pavee) are traditionally nomadic people of Irish origin with their own language and traditions, living predominantly in Ireland but also in Great Britain and the United States of America.[1][2] Travellers refer to themselves as Minceir or Pavees in their own language or in Irish as an Lucht Siúil, meaning literally "the walking people". The European Parliament Committee of Enquiry on Racism and Xenophobia found them to be among the most discriminated-against ethnic groups in Ireland[3] and yet their status remains insecure in the absence of widespread legal endorsement.[4]

You must be a newbie, if you haven't experienced the multiple quoting problems around here!

WTF has the royal family got to do with the gypsy wedding programme? Your hate for the royals knows no bounds. You're posting in any thread just randomly for no reason now just to attack them. You sound a little obsessed.
Its about a group of people wasting tax payers money ,you call them Gypsies .
I am only pointing out another group of people who waste the tax payers money.

Most of the younger ones on the show have never been to Ireland, but their grandparents probably came over from Ireland, and as they only seem to mix with family they keep the accent. It is sort of similar to Newfoundland in Canada.
I suppose the difference between the Royal family and the travellers is that the Royal family do generate an income for the country in the form of tourism etc, They also do an awful lot of work for charity and are ambassadors overseas for us.
We may not appear to have a lot of time for them but other countries sure do.
I am not quite sure what income travellers generate or what charitable works they do but I am sure they do something.

Of course they should keep the grave tidy. I`m sure they don`t only do that on the anniversary of their son`s death. Their disrespect was drinking beer while sitting beside the graves of other people`s loved ones.
I would be horrified, as most people would, to find that scene beside my loved one`s grave.
They gave no consideration to other grieving people who might be visiting that day.

I wonder what their reaction would be if they had found a gang of people drinking beer at their son`s graveside?
I don`t image it would be very pleasant.

it wasn't a "gang" it was a family (albeit an extended one) and they weren't only drinking - i don't think it can be likened to a group of lads drinking in a park and causing trouble - i would hope as they are very religious that they would say a prayer for my loved one too, as for their reaction to my drinking near their son's grave i don't know them and so can only put forward my ignorant opinion but it might be that i was celebrating a loved one buried nearby and with limited space i was close to their grave as well
I didn`t liken it to a gang of young ones drinking in a park and causing trouble. There was a gang of them, group of people - an assemblage.
I`m referring to their drinking and nothing else they did that day.
Limited space? They could have stood at the side of their son`s grave doing the same but they chose not to. They chose to sit drinking beer beside other graves giving no respect or consideration to anyone.
They`re grieving but they`re not the only ones.

Scotty, my parents' grave is about 10 foot, if that, from the start of all of the gypsy graves in the 'Catholic' bit of the cemetery. They are all v v well kept, not to my taste admittedly and definitely not within the 'council rules' : bazillions of plastic flower arrangements, wooden benches, hanging bumble bees, hanging baskets, eiffel tower statue, (or maybe it's Blackpool LOL) garden ornaments/statues/cherubs, bottle of perfume, bottle of Baileys etc. etc. etc. the list is endless, and that's just the one nearest to my mum and dad, the others continue in much the same manner.
Anyway I'm not sure how I'd feel if when I visited the grave the Gypsy community were having a party, I think I'd initially do a
but then, thinking about it, and knowing my mum and dad they'd probably then be at me and say 'bloody hell girl, they're doing no harm' and I'd probably end up thinking, yeah ma and pa, you're right and asking if they have a beer going spare lager and raising a glass tinny to my parents

Mine would be the same.
I think most Cafflicks grow up seeing a bit of the Irish Traveller culture, so should be able to cope with their different ways.
You get the prudes tutting their way through Mass, at the scandalous outfits, usually while ignoring the priest, who is doing a sermon about how Christians should follow Jebus' teachings on not judging others, preferring to mix with prostitutes and sinners, and interpreting parables about hypocrisy and throwing the first stones etc.

I`m glad you can look at it that way Supes & Cags.
I don`t. We`re all different.

Just to make it clear, my objection has nothing to do with them being gypsies.
Any group of people behaving in that way in a cemetery, would be offensive to me.

I want to know where they get all their money from ??? That wedding last night with the owl and the doves etc etc must have cost a small fortune.
Here are pictures of 2 rival traveller families grave plots in Sligo, they nearly always end up fighting and one mourner was shot dead at one of these funerals....
