Young Steve Peat?
I like him. Seems a lovely chap.
Oh, tears all round. It's been a journey.
Finally a decent program without "chav" sensationalism.
Trying to work out how old he is. Plus in my head can't stop Weird Al Yankovich - Amish Paradise.
Who's to say that our way of living is better?
Christian Communism is the solution then!
Started to watch it with a sense of dread but ended up really liking it. What struck me was how adult those kids appeared on the surface, but how child-like and lonely they seemed to me. It would be interesting to see more of their back story.
The girl who didn't know how to wash up. 😯
I'd more than happily spend a few weeks with that guy's family. It might be nice to experience a simpler way of life for a while. No mobiles. No email. Doing lots of stuff by hand.
They are allowed bikes. Fact 🙂
The wimmin got all the rubbish jobs though!
Shurrup c-g. 😛
😆
The use of the generator foxed me though. I guess there are differing levels of commitment to the cause amongst different communities.
Well I guess we'll found out more next week when they stay with another community.
Pretty claustrophobic really.
Mullet
You couldn't make it up. 😆
😀
Thing is, I was all "Oh right, joking's over then, IanMunro has only gone and posted something really serious about hate crimes amongst the Amish...". Until I got to the 3rd paragraph. Bastid. 😆
I was watching that and all I could think about is I'd love to live that lifestyle.
The only issue is I couldn't see any liquor?
Heavily bearded, rejects modern technology...
The thought occurred, do you reckon he rides single-speed?
do you reckon he rides single-speed?
Did you even need to ask?
I was surprised at the generator - I'd have thought that if God allowed a tiddly Honda generator and an extension lead, He/She/It would also permit a big generator in the form of a power station and a massive set of cables in the form of the National Grid.
Seemed like a nice couple, though fundamentally not all that different from some Scottish crofters I met, who live a minimalist lifestyle guided by what they want to do, rather than an isolationist set of values handed down pretty rigidly through the generations.
I thought it was pretty awesome, screw all the religious BS though and let me keep thouands of pounds worth of bike and I'm in.
Infact I might even start my own religion based on principles of healthy simple living and exercise... we'll be called the Ummish.
I'm going to go for the OmNomNomish.
I ****ing hate you!
😉

The Hamish?
The Hamish?
