Right. I've got a badger. Does anyone know where I can find a cabinet (preferably without a badger glued to it)?

Do you still have the badger? I only ask because I'm sitting in the bushes outside your house and I just saw this

I think what you said there says more about you than it does about me - but I guess it's an individuals choice not use non-racist people

Yes, you are of course correct, I still use the term Gypsy when I see a Gypsy, and am therefor a racist.

ETA: And it was a funny thread, until Alf Garnett jumped in

Squiggs said:

Aren't Gypsies now recognised as an ethnic minority .... and isn't making an ethnic minority the butt of a joke now considered somewhat racist?

[Squiggs]
Actually it's discrimination based on ethnicity that is "racist", being a minority doesn't have anything to do with it.
[/Squiggs]

Weirdly picking on a hereditary genetic marker that affects appearance somehow isn't racist, which is why ginger bashing is still OK.

Calling whities "honky" is racist, but no one seems to mind, or at least no one who won't get told to grow up.

I don't think anyone actually saw a Gypsy.

They remained hiding in the bush after being foiled by the OP.

Ermm... OP, these two dogs... Were they tied up back to back?

I'm surprised they didn't throw a flightless bird at him as he ran away! Or are we still allowed to say 'Chicken'?

Are you trying to corner the Gypsy market in Smart repairs here or what?

The were both facing the same way and one was behind and slightly above the other.

They must have been tied up, there is no other explaination.

Great thread.... I have been chuckling about this all day. OP - you appear to be nuts. Can you post a few photos of the field... perhaps with you and your dog in it so we can get a better picture of the incident.

Textbook.

You see it every day.

If I was a gypsy, and I'm not admitting that I am, I would probably disguise myself as a dog.

Not like this tt though. Way overcooked it there.

Having discovered that the two dogs tied together trick has been rumbled our Gypsy friends have came up with a cunning new angle to the rouse, they have also improved on hedge camouflage


Meet two tied up dogs and a sheep.....stick on to work

[Pixel Pusher]

Ooooh, they're fiendishly clever those traveling folk.

What will they think of next?

[Silent1]

This is fking surreal, i'm actually crying with laughter.

[HOGEPH]

I saw 2 dogs tied together searching for fungus, but they belonged to trufflers.

My first thought was that it could be some kind of trick to get me to stop and help the dogs whilst a gypsy jumps out the bush.

The only logical explanation.
What would the gypsy do after he/she jumped out the bush?

Throw an amulet your armbelt at him and curse him and his family for 7 generations.

I don't recall the renowned gypsy expert Thelma Madine mentioning any of this on 'Gypsy Weddings'!

You haven't see next weeks episode then "my big fat gypsy bum sex"?
It is a late substitution to the planned "my big fat gypsy christening" now that the OP has revealed the community secret.

I think that might be fake, the badger can't even reach the pedals.
