Only if you accidentally puncture the Bowel or lower intestine.

They have always stuck to me, even when I was holding the guts bag open for the butcher that showed me how to do it donkeys of years ago. (That being said I haven't done anything like that for a good 10 years now so I would probably slip and cut the bowel if I tried now)

[cailin maith]

Gross...... you lot are gross....

[Diver]

Quite true

That is a smell unlike no other

Only when Gutting and skinning is carried out by by the inexperienced.

I gut on average 150 Rabbits etc. a year, and if I slip and puncture the bowel I dump the carcass, I very rarely slip.

You want to smell a deer when the bowel has been ruptured

I think I grossed CM out talking about rabbits being gutted. Sorry dear.



They are amazingly stinky buggers when you slit thier belly open though

Only if you accidentally puncture the Bowel or lower intestine.

[BrilloPad]

That's why I don't see them too often. I once went over and it was raining as I got off the plane. It continued to do this for the next 10 days and continued as I climbed the steps to go home. How the place doesn't sink is beyond me.

At least when they lived in Aberdeen you got a couple of long summer days - cold but long. In Mayo you just seem to get slightly warmer rain.

They moved there because my dad has relatives there. Well he did but they have all died now also in a hideous threshing machine accident

You can't be for real, hilarious mind

Who in the name of God, chooses to move to Mayo.... my ma is from there and I spent many summers trying to hitch a ride back to Dublin.... Talk about back ass of nowhere....

It's not just the animals which struggle in our family. My dad has this problem with his neck where the muscles on one side are stronger than those on the other and as a result his head pulls to one side - watching him hammer a nail in is quite funny in a mean sort of way.

One day he was feeding the cows and was walking down the field carrying two buckets. This meant he couldn't hold his head straight and he slipped on a load of ice at the bottom of the field. In doing this he broke his ankle. My two brothers were sat in the house and through the double glazing they could hear this faint 'Whaahhhayyyahh hheelllp whhhahhhaaaghhh' and so on. They thought it was the cat on heat and so turned the telly up. Eventually my mum noticed he wasn't around and sent one of them to look for him. He found him lay on his back covered in snow. He picked him up and dumped him in the back of the Land Rover to take him to hospital and slammed the door shut on his freshly broken ankle. A plate and 9 pins were put in. But he already has a set of plates and pins in his other leg (he's a joy to travel with) and now runs like the pensioner version of Billy Whizz as he limps with both legs.

When he moved to Ireland with my folks they got him another dog. This dog was quite good and very protective towards him. It would go mental if you had a fight with him. But this too met a sticky end. One day it ran straight out of the gate onto the road and was hit by a car. It survived. He nursed it back to health and the moment it could muster the energy and the pre required number of mended limbs it set off down the drive, out of the gate and straight into the path of the same car. My mum and dad live on a farm in Mayo, the road is hardly used and the car which hit it didn't usually go that way. On the same weekend my dad had a cow snuff it after it was struck by lightning.

I don't know why but I found that hilarious. (Everybody is looking at me thinking i'm mad for cackling away...)

Me too!

He also had a dog (s h 1 t t y sid was it's name for an obvious reason) and it took to sheltering from the sun under the wheels of the Land Rover. My mum removed it from the gene pool when rushing out.
