to think that just because i'm irish, people should not keep asking me if i am a traveller???

[maggottinfestedbodybag]

wtf

Do you burn the cars out too gracie, just for a laugh?

gracie you might well get banned.

com mum, none of those things are really outrageous are they.

Aww bless her shes bored!

What an odd thing for them to ask! There are so few travellers, and many millions of Irish people.
They are weirdos for asking!

Are you seriously going to try to get me banned for making

a wry slightly boring joke about travellers? Baring in mind

that you're the one kicking off about anyone

daring to mistake you for one. GOD FORBID.

You're the one with problems about travellers not me.

BTW- You didn't understand my joke. YABU.

Now don't annoy me anymore I've got kids to put to bed

then cars to TWOC.

(not really this is a JOKE)

maggot, WTF are you talking about?

I'm Irish and nobody has ever asked me that!

And leave Grace along, mumsnet aren't gona ban her for a joke. They might well ban you though for being a troll

gracie
You're the one with problems about travellers not me.
you where they one thats said do i try and flog a sofa from, a lorry.

you must hang around with some froot loops

I'm Irish, I've never been mistaken for a traveller

This Irishman went for a job on a building site and the foreman warned him that he'd have to answer some difficult questions.

'That's OK' said the Irishman.

'You're absolutely sure?' asked the foreman.

'Absolutely' said the Irishman.

'Right' said the foreman. 'What's the difference between a joist and a girder. Think carefully.'

'Well,' said the Irishman, 'Wasn't it Joyce wrote Dubliners and Goethe wrote Faust?'

ok i'm going

None of my family, nor my husbands family have ever been mistaken for travellers. Shall we all stop throwing the troll bait?

all Irish people are travellers, addicted to booze or thieves.

i thought everyone know that.

maggot, you do come up with some crackers.

AA

ive never once been asked was i a traveller

all scottish people speak with West Coast accents, scotsmen wear kilts and they have red hair and eat haggis.

Irish family here. No traveller questions ever. We obviously don't move in the right circles...

Don't go! I never found out what happened with

the rocking horse!!!

Sheesh. I'll never know now.

Life has dealt me some VERY harsh cards.

why are people so obsessed with that xxxxing horse?

everyone goes on about it.

Get back to your camp fire.

before you go I've got a driveway that needs t..... no never mind

I'm a Fifer so everyone thinks I'm violent and tight.

I am though.

I'm from Edinburgh and everyone thinks I am a miserable git.

I am though.

I'm from Belfast and it makes everyone think I'm a chippy sectarian bigot

I am though

the traveller accent is very different anyway, it amazes me how living in that community means that the accent stays strong from generation to generation.
