They go on about animal cruelty now, but the sh1t some of the older generation got up to wouldn't be tolerated these days but par for the course then. Got fed up with their dog. Bang. Too many kittens. Trip to the river in a bag. A barn owl nesting. Bang.

Ye guys probably don't know what a cock lifter is, no nothing on pornhub, it was for bringing in cocks of hay and had about 6 large teeth in it, the ould lad used one of them as a crowbar and a steel pipe welded on to sledge harmer mad stuff.

Replaced fuse with a trimmed up bolt and away again, I saw the socket on the wall was melting after. I don't know how he is still alive at this stage. He got a new washing machine and never took the bolts out. Loaded and fired her up. Wrote her off first day.

When we went to get it back off him a few weeks later, we found the chainsaw wedged half ways through the bark of the tree. Uncle had got it struck whilst cutting , lost interest and left it there. Thing was gone rusty from being left out. Haven't lent him a chainsaw since.
