Anyone got any evidence that she can sing or play the guitar?

Fortunately I read other posts, so after reading mhaze and Is Mise and having spotted another video I watched it instead for a chuckle. It was this one, Jim Davidson with the pc Hipster BBC jock,

Watch the blonde and the brunette :)

Ah look, our resident dicky birds all in a row. Only one more to go and we will have a 'curmudgeon', at least I think that is what they call gathering of this feckless flock.

Lol.

SteeleRedux,

That was a rough and unconvincing segue from some pop music to bare knuckles fight club.

You'd have a fight in a phone box. You should stop taking yourself so seriously and lighten up. Google some more Jim Davidson for yourself, 'An Audience with Jim Davidson', maybe.

Dear SteeleRedux,

Thank You for the link "Knuckle." I have to admit that
I did not watch it to the end. It got a bit much for me.
I know that "travellers" as they call each other are a
world onto themselves. A world that few of us know anything
about. They have their own codes and rules of behaviour.
Even as far as weddings go. Vendettas are taken very seriously.
Just as with the Sicilian mafia.

It's a lifestyle that has no appeal to me. Fight clubs of
any kind are not my thing. Neither are dog-fights, chook-fights,
or even dog-races - where live bait (rabbits) are used.

Dear Foxy,

Thank you for at least getting a taste of the documentary.

Now if I could be so bold permit me to draw the parallels I see between Norwegi's ethic/sentiments and those revealed in Knuckle.

Putting aside the idiotic feuds and obvious blood lust I would like you to compare the fighting in the film to the current state of MMA fighting deemed 'acceptable' for public consumption.

What is more honourable? Fighting and being prepared to injure someone who offended you and your family or doing so to a stranger purely for the money?

Think about the codes of behaviour around the Traveller's bouts. If someone is knocked to the ground he is given time to regain his feet. In modern MMA fighting a fighter is deemed weak if he or she does not attack a fighter who is dazed and down on the mat.

While there is certainly money involved in the fighting among the Travellers spectators from either camps were not permitted to attend. Compare that to people who for their own enjoyment paying tens of thousands of dollars for front row seat to watch two fighters in a cage pummel each other into bloody submission.

I certainly don't condone the violence of the Irish Travellers but I argued, much to my family's disagreement, that they were conducting themselves in a more ethical manner than those involved in the MMA industry.

When Norwegi spoke of her Celtic warrior tribe it may have been with stars in her eyes, the on the ground reality of those words saw life in Knuckle.
