I learned that travellers have a thing called a âgrabbingâ where single traveller women are in a field or a car park and the single traveller men go and grab the woman and thatâs them going out with each other till they eventually marry. I learned this whilst at a buy and sell in Wexford Youths car park and an aul Molly goes to a younger Molly "ah sure youâd only be right for the grabbing, then my mate (who is not a traveller but heard of the grabbing before) explained it to me.
That caused a bit of a stir a few years ago when it featured on television, big gypsy wedding probably.
Iâd be shocked if it wasnât discussed at length here at the time.
Yeah everything usually is. Canât see why people would be shocked by it though, I always thought they were into just solely arranged marriages, but if this grabbing thing is going then obviously not.
For the record, Iâm not trying to be controversial here or anything. Iâm on the fence when it comes to travellers, some of their ways I detest but in general theyâve done nothing on me and any I know or met come by as sound enough people. It all just comes by as fascinating to me I anything the ways they have.
Travellers are generally well regarded on here for their culture, music and traditional way of life.

One TFKâer thinks a good traveller is a dead traveller which I found to be sickening. More sickening was the fact it wasnât deleted nor poster banned.

Exponents and the power of exponential growth
Itâs fucked up beyond all belief, I asked my wife to guess what 100 folds would look like, she guessed about a metre, she has a science degree and an A in leaving cert honours maths. in fact it is 800000000000000 (eight hundred thousand billion) times the distance between the earth and the sun.

Iâm calling this as gobbledygook
Thatâs your prerogative, Iâll leave it to yourself to check it out.
That iron wouldnât be much use once youâd gone beyond the top of Mount Everest after the 20th fold.

You canât fold paper more than seven times.
Edit: some dicks somewhere folded paper 13 times to make a point.
Clickbait McGregor was âfightingâ again last night and lost again.
