You have to admit, they are amazing! But all that pain for a dress... Mind you i do it with heels

I have always daydreamt about being a gypsy I admire the their morals and how they live by them, as I like to think I do!

Rubbish Hope it goes quick for ya

Their morals are fantastic.

They were lamping rabbits, and the reporter said "is this not cruel?", the lad responded with "well you people think it's ok to go get a cheeseburger out of McDonald's".

They can be rough, but they speak A LOT of sense too.

Hope it flies by Ella!

What's Lamping Rabbits? Or do I not want to know

To be completely honest, I don't know anything about their morals and etc., but agree with what was said that the media focuses on the minority that are 'bad' and will use that to warp people's view.

Gosh I would look hideous in one being so tiny, I would look more like the one of the five year olds going to me confirmation!

It's basically hunting, but without guns. They shine a light on the area to scare a rabbit out, then dogs, normally lurchers, will catch them. It's awful, but I think all forms of hunting are.

It's massive over here, that's why there are so many lurchers and bull-lurcher crosses.

Poor rabbits but I see their point, to be honest. I have a greater respect for hunters since speaking to a few and them talking about how they use all parts of the animal, they respect the life they've taken and etc. Must be better to be in your natural habitat and etc. than be in a slaughterhouse or something similar, so I get that point.

Yeah I don't like hunting either

Now they are awful!!

Nope not pleasant.

How is everyone getting on with their drinks?

Only got one bottle in tonight so I'm taking it steady!!

Going down nicely

Same! Watching that 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. I love that German fella

If I' said I'd lamped a rabbit that means I've got hold of it and punched it in the face..............not cool

That's the English/Irish crossover in terminology fella for sure! But yes, punching rabbits is bad

This is what i thought too Dave

I think we actually call it lamping over here too mate but I'm not a hunter so

Poor rabbits either way!

I was just impressed I spelt "terminology" correctly after a few pints

I used to have a rabbit. He only had one ear and he was grey like Holly from Watership Down, so that's what I called him traumatic movie, that.

Put a lump in my throat , it was one of my books for my English Lit O Level too

Agreed. Not for the faint hearted

Never seen it

MatLogan wrote:Never seen it

Mate you've got to get it and have a night in with Logan , but get the hankies out

I watched it recently after not having seen it since I was little, still sad!!

lamping is barbaric, bloodsport. not hunting. at least with hunting its thought out, and if done properly, humane and quick.

but as far as i'm concerned, its pest control

It gave me nightmares for ages after watching it, seriously traumatic things going on in that film read the book too, but obviously when you're a kid watching a film about cute little rabbits, that's the last thing you want to see.

Have you seen Charlottes Web?

I had to read Charlottes Web when I was in primary 6.

What one? I saw the cartoon one. That one's sad too, but good film

Right, as much as I love the random chats and picture threads and etc. we have on the weekends, I'm exhausted, so early-ish night for me. Goodbye people, enjoy your alcohol

Ok Tara, hope you get a good sleep and feel ready for another drunk Saturday night topic tomorrow

Night Tara x

My sleep didn't last long to be honest, my brother's stomping about, so I give up for now

I haven't looked up in hours and just did to realise it was dark outside. This is a good bottle of wine, I must say

Too busy with your wine to notice it getting dark?
