Gypsies and paintball

fascinating to watch as it delves into their culture; this week's episode saw them go off to a paintballing site for a special birthday celebration. Just wondering if anyone knows what the name of the paintball site they attended (and got booted off 40mins later for blatant disregard of the safety rules) was.

Couldnt get a good look but the site logo looks like a shamrock but i may be mistaken.

cheers.

It was firepower paintball in frodsham near northwhich/delamere. I organised a trip there for my work place, not a bad site. The guy who was pissed off run's the site, he had the same trouble when we were there with lads lifting their googles. Some people don't understand how dangerous it can be.

NOTE. Gypsies and Paintball do NOT mix!

Just watched this on repeat.

What a bunch of f****** d****, bet that was an experience for the site and marshals.

....no darling, just because you didn't go to school doesn't mean you have a medical condition. You're. Just. F*****G. Stupid.

God i hate people like that...... Although i have actually been watching this series, it's pretty interesting seeing their "way of life" contrast to modern day alternatives. Especially when i used to go to school with a few kids like the ones on this show (who were actually gypsies, not just chavs and pikies)

Unfortunately i have the great displeasure of living a couple of miles from were the Appleby horse fair is held every june.....:frusty:

Try having up to 10,000 of them on your doorstep for 10 days

To be fair the marshals are no doubt used to these people coming paintballing, sadly i get them all the time

It really does develop this issue into a wider debate of why do people behave this way at what you would consider a dangerous activity.

All to often i have groups of "chavs" coming paintballing, they ruin everyones days, marshals and customers. They seem so angry at the world, and so blatantly disruptive

Gypsies and paintball?

A bit like giving a monkey a flamethrower.

Just don't mention gypsies to Cook$.

This does provoke a reasonable but potentially inflammatory question of cultural differences in terms of behaviour ... if we can identify and attribute definite behavioural differences to certain races, is it then racist to articulate those differences?
