Er, excuse me, but where did I mention "Roman Gypsies", or more commonly, Roma?


I didn't. I briefly mentioned/commented on Irish Travellers, who aren't descended from any drifting Indo-European diaspora. They're ancestors of the landowning clans left homeless by Cromwell's campaigns in Ireland and the Potato famine. They're white, so I don't see how it's racist for a white man to comment on members of his own race. Would you say the same if you heard a black man commenting on the habits of other black men or women?


I don't like or agree with many other groups within my [Caucasian] race, either. I despise the greedy banking culture in this country that is predominantly monopolised by white men. And I've written very uncomplimentary opinions on them, too. As well as the Catholic Church. Which, apart from being a seemingly sanctioned pedophile ring, is dominated by white men.


So, unless you can prove I commented otherwise, I'll regard you both as manipulative liars.


Oh, and if anyone's interested in judging for themselves, I can provide copies of the deleted post that was contained in the administrator's request/warning via email. Though I can understand any concerns that in doing so I may alter the copy to read in my favour. So, perhaps the administrator could re-post the deleted text. Seeing as I've technically been accused of a crime. But, for some inexplicable reason, the evidence has been removed.


Furthermore, I also included the details to a leading, active charity that oversees and investigates animal welfare and cruelty in the latter half of my post. For those interested, here it is again.

Axeman I am not going to even waste my time arguing with the bigot that you are. When you use terms like pikie it's a bit rich to start justifying your comments by somehow accusing those that rightly point out the offense you cause.


When you tar a whole group of people as criminals (a very stupid attitude to have to any group of people) you will get accused of bigotry and ingnorant prejudice at the very least...that's what bigotry and ignorance is and that's the reaction most decent people would have to your comments. Just because you have the same colour skin does not make it ok to criminally brand an entire community and refer to them in derogatory terms. You WERE deeply offensive.


Worse still you link your ignorant comments to a business currently in town doing nothing more than entertaining people which is defamatory and an embarassment to this forum...what must they think of the people of ED when people like you write the bs you did.



Now ONCE AGAIN..what part of 'this is a thread about the circus and animal welfare and not gypsies' do you not understand?

No, you've been politely warned to stop posting offensive material, I will not repost the offensive material as that would be silly.

BigBadWolf's Badder Big Brother?

Do they have ventriloquists? They're my favourites. People bang on about Roger DeCourcey and Keith Harris, but my favourite is Stephen Hawkings. I saw him on telly recently blathering on about the universe and galaxies for hours and I didn't see his lips move once. Genius.
My son and his friend went to the circus at the weekend - they didn't report any cruelty to the animals. They have horses and Shetland ponies. They are kept in stables and are allowed to graze on the grass. They are moved around in a horse transporter. They don't have tigers, monkeys or other exotic animals - just some budgies.

Er, what on earth are you on about, DJ(Gyspy?)Queen?


I never said or even implied that the event was staffed by members of the travelling community!


If you'd actually bothered to read my removed post, which I don't think you did in the first place, you'd have seen that in replying to the suggestion that the event was suspect and ran by gypsies, I said that it was very unlikely seeing as the event has council approval and is ran by a legitimate company.


That aside, judging by your two gross misrepresentations, I suspect that you didn't read the removed post at all. No, after seeing the accusation that the post was racist, without a thought you immediately jumped on the fashionable bandwagon and let others decide for you. How pathetic.


There hasn't been a shred of truth in anything you've accused me of. You're either a victim of your own hasty ignorance, or, as I've continuously maintained, a liar.

I think you're discriminating his human rights Sean.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
