I'm pretty sure they said that both Gypsy and Irish travellers were very religious. so was this just a bit that they got wrong (or did I mishear)?

No. They did say that, but they (The programme makers) didn't seem to be aware of the distinction. (Most people aren't)

Mrs Red took me out last night as a Valentines day treat.
She wined me and dined me, (Mixed grill - pint of larger shandy - bag of sweets) and then took me to the pictures.
We had a great time, I was well and truly seduced. In fact, if she had tried a bit harder, she could have got to third base.

I'm also a regular on the AVForums forum (it's all about how big your telly is, basically), and they have a "lounge" forum post discussing the program:
http://www.avforums.com/forums/general-chat/1200397-gypsy-weddings.html
Really made me think - before I joined blonde and read this thread your other posts, Tom, I'd have probably been joining in with that steaming pile of prejudiced crap. Makes me sad

Makes me sad too. Not so much for us, (The Gypsies) we've lived through hundreds of years of persecution and prejudice, we're used to it. I feel sad for a society that allows this kind of thing to poison the minds of each each new generation.

It's a stunningly beautiful day here. The snow is still on the ground, but as yet, it's unspoiled and pristine. The sun is shining from an almost cloudless blue sky. There is not a breath of wind, and no sound other than birdsong and the gentle drip and trickle of the thaw.
Why, at my age, do things like these still thrill me so?

I watched last night (though with no sound on - don't ask!) and some of the girls were absolutely stunning. They all dress very provocatively though which is interesting.
I wish there were more documentaries on Gypsies - so interested in the subject but admittedly know so little. I've been guilty of being one of the 'judge a book by it's cover' types.
Anyway, I'm off to smash some plates....

My big fat Gypsy wedding.
When Joan danced with her father at her wedding, this was the song they were playing.
If any of you dads out there have have ever given away a daughter, you'll understand why it makes me cry.
I loved her first.
Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way
But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first
How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first

How will the moles survive !!
Better get tikay round with some heaters and food parcels for the little darlings.
The moles are thriving
, they're pushing hills up through the snow as we speak.
Delighted to hear it, I've been very worried about them, with all this cold weather.

Good luck with your day Kev.
I've done it twice so far, (Over 10 years ago now) two of my girls got married within a month of each other.
Both weddings were emotional affairs for me, but they were well attended and went off without a hitch (Which is a big plus for any dad)
The girls looked stunning, I was bursting with pride. 11 years down the line, I'm even more proud to see that their marrages are happy, and that they are good wives and excellent mothers.
I have two girls still at home. I'm proud of them too. They're good girls. They have good morals and values, they work hard, and they respect their parents.
I'm a lucky man.
PS- Before anyone else says it.
