Slightly off-topic but useful information hopefully

Hi there Guys and Galls,

the following is information, for anyone who owns a 'remote' observatory
in the north of England.

Recently, the Observatory, which is run by my local AS, in Huddersfield, had
some 'unwelcome visitors'.

Initially we thought that they were going to be peaceful and respect our
property, however
they decided otherwise.

In the space of 2 days they have:
a) torn down two dry stone walls and uprooted trees
b) severely damaged the nearby Golf Course
c) deposited wastes of a fairly indescribable nature all over the fabric of
our Observatory building
d) 'forced us' to remove all valuable Telescope equipment (1 x 16" LX200, a
C-11 GPS, Tak FS102
and a Tak Sky 90/Coronado and more) from our Observatory for safe keeping.

So, for everyone out there who has an Observatory, which is vulnerable to
'Travellers' please be on your guard.
These people are no respecters of other people's property.

The upshot is that Huddersfield Observatory is out of use for the
foreseeable future.

regards

Robert

PS we don't have any redress in law, not without shelling out £000's for
legal representation!

No, these are f*cking Pikeys.

For those wondering... a Pikey is ...

'1. A 'Traveller'. These people are itinerant and drive their extended
families around the country, searching for the next community they can purge
of valuable items. Basically masquerading as a mystic form of romaticised
gypsies, these mobile thieves pleasure in their presence, which instantly
develops fear, loathing and revulsion from citizens who spend their lives
creating an air of normality for these creatures to invade. Once a small
section of society is infected, it proves very difficult to shake off, being
as the laws of the land which can be bent (and expensively bent by
expensively bent lawyers) to 'protect' them under some vague aspect of the
Human Rights Act...as if it applies to such vermin. Their stay of execution
upon public and private land involves driving a convoy of similarly built
mobile homes, towed by rather costly vehicles, onto an area of outstanding
natural beauty, and rendering it a faeces strewn bombsite within weeks. They
have scant regard for communal responsibility, usually claiming that the
reason they do such acts is that, 'a Traveller's facility should be set up
in the local area for us...' negating to figure who should pick up the tab
for their distateful behaviour. Usually, it is Johnny Ratepayer who funds
this lifestyle, and Billy Taxpayer who pays for their small army of
apprentice feral-kids, each one a small step sideways towards a new
sub-species of rat-like, sub-humaniods, their developed senses of purloining
other people's paid for items a speciality, augmented by claw-like hands,
slick head fur, a rat-like visage, a puny...almost skeletal body and the
ability to mate with alarming regularity from the age of ten years old.
Unitl the Darwinian timescale catches up with their development and gives
them all over body fur, they keep warm with a garish uniform of pretty
tasteless sporting gear, although none of them partake in such activities
save for the 200m dash-with-video-under-arm. The items they wear are pretty
standard...firstly a beige-coloured cap with the peak highly arched and
pulled down over their night-vision eyes, some sort of quite cheap Sport n
Soccer sweatshirt, tracksuit bottoms and off-white Reebok Classic traing
shoes. Some senior Pikeys are not averse to wearing brogues with tracksuit
bottoms or, more puzzlingly, trainers with pinstriped trousers. The females
of this order are usually of two types...heroin-chic thin with that glorious
washed out complexion and seriously bad dental work or grossly overweight
with a rather unpleasant 'bad fanny' odour about them. Either way, they wear
long sweats and 'fat-lass' leggings from the poundshop. Their kids are
bedecked with the latest percieved 'designer' gear such as Hellie Henson,
Timberlind and Ralf Loren, all bought in good faith from Jamo down the
'markit, mate' and all genders and generations wear earrings, bloody good
Liz Duke gold and ****ing vomit-rending body-odour masking scent. '

These "Travellers" are scum and filthy *******s.

A few years ago I was chased all the way across Sheffield in my car. I
found myself in a dead-end and was confronted by the driver of the
other car. He punched and kicked me a bit and then buggered off,
leaving me with some nice bruises and the taste of blood in my mouth
for a couple of days.

In short, be careful of those 'white, middle-class, anglo-saxon
people'.

My last .sig was rubbish too.

I suggest that you stop sitting on the fence on this topic. For clarity,
just say what you really mean.

At 10 o'clock this morning,the police Helicopter and around 6 squad cars
were seen chasing a number of white vans round the area.2 of the vans were
stopped,occupants pulled out and vans searched .Rumour has it (and it is
only a rumour)that there were a number of burglaries the previous night.
Press will be monitored for details.

Why did you get out of the car?

I'd have stayed in and if he got out, kept moving the car,
threatening to run him down.
