Knuckle: A documentary on gypsy bare-knuckle boxing

The tinkers in Ireland are no joke. It's quite the experience to be having a beer in a small rural pub when they come to town. The businesses all call each other and effectively shut down the town until they leave. Turned off the lights, locked the doors, stopped the music.
 
I just saw this entire documentary, very entertaining.

It's mind boggling the conflicts these people carry in order to keep conflict alive thru generations.
 
This has nothing to do with gypsies.

/edit: nm, I see these 'travellers' are referred to gypsies by lifestyle and not heritage.

My name is Turkish. Funny name for an Englishman, I know. My parents to be were on the same plane when it crashed. That's how they met. They named me after the name of the plane. Not many people are named after a plane crash. That's Tommy. He tells people he was named after a gun, but I know he was really named after a famous 19th century ballet dancer
 
Turkish: Well, do you want to do it?
Mickey: That depends.
Turkish: On what?
Mickey: On you buying this caravan. Not the rouge one, the rose.
Turkish: It's not the same caravan.
Mickey: It's not the same fight.
Turkish: It's twice the fucking size of the last one.
Mickey: Turkish, the fight is twice the size. And me ma still needs a caravan. I like to look after me ma. It's a fair deal. Take it.
Turkish: Mickey, you're lucky we aren't worm food after your last performance. Buying a tart's mobile palace is a little fucking rich.
[Realizes his mistake]
Turkish: I wasn't calling your mum a tart. I just meant...
Mickey: Ah, save your breath for cooling your porridge. Now, look...
Mickey: [starts talking incoherently] I want the hector two roof lights, with the discover cushions and the matching side stripe caravan.
Mickey: Right. And she's terrible partial to the periwinkle blue, boys. Have I made myself clear, lads?
Turkish: Yeah, that's perfectly clear, Mickey. Just give me one minute to confer with my colleague.
[to Tommy]
Turkish: Did you understand a single word of what he just said?
 
Entertainment magazine interviewed Brad Pitt a few weeks ago & they talked about Snatch. He said he had no idea on how to do the accent till that last minute. One of his body guards(a local) kept on saying that you could never understand the gypos. After Brad heard that the Mickey's speaking style was born.
