Sergeant Wilson Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 To be fair they did try and get it back up but the cow was having none of it, shooting it I guess saved the distress of it drowning, wonder if it will haunt the harbour?? They were on the horns of a dilemma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Shooting squad or being executed in an abattoir. I know what I'd pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eindhovendee Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Worked for two months at a fish factory in Eyemouth - 5am to 9am six days a week tailing prawns (ripping live prawns apart with your fingers) then on call all day to unload the boats as they came in. Can't stand the smell of seafood at the best of times, I was permanently swallowing bile the entire 2 months. Found myself broke and out of work so I borrowed a set of ladders and went door to door cleaning windows. In January in the middle of a cauld, cauld winter. Feart o heights and standing shivering at the top of an icy ladder washing windows in the snow. Worst job - worked in a slaughterhouse in Guildford when I was a teenager. I was given a sledgehammer and told to crack the cow's skulls with it. When I asked about bolt guns they laughed and said they didn't have anything so modern. All morning I killed cows. If you didn't swing the sledgehammer hard enough, the cow went fuckin' nuts and tried to break the crush. Hit the thing too hard and the sledgehammer smashed the skull and you got covered in brains. By lunchtime I was knackered, but when I got to the canteen everybody stood up and applauded. Turned out they were having a laugh with the new guy and I could have been using a bolt gun. I walked out and never went back. Didn't even ask for wages. Needing a coo killed you say? You need NewBornBairn. http://www.pieandbovril.com/forum/index.php/topic/157602-worst-place-youve-ever-worked/page-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Luckily for this cow it didn't fall into Aberdeen harbour - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-29490740 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 From the pictures on the BBC it wasn't even in the water, just standing on the sand. Couldn't they have hit with a tranquiliser before the tide came in and heaved it into a boat or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
