Used to have a huge pet rabbit named Radar.

He died peacfully in his sleep age 9 years, unfortunately he used to sleep stretched out and was about 2' 6" long like this.

Rigamortis had already set in by the morning when we found him, had to dig a masssive hole as dead rabbits aren't very bendy.

You buried a Ford Escort? :D

I'd like to make the following clear:

When stating what you've buried, you need to have buried it yourself.

- Dug the hole yourself
- Put the 'object' (dead/live body, car etc) into the ground
- Covered it yourself

Can i have done it with a couple of mates as a practical joke?

Oh, have you got photos?


Sorry, a few years ago, before the advent of camera phones and cheap digital cameras.

Twas a sight though! :lol:

It wasn't me, but when we were digging a hole in the garden to make foundations for a shed, we found that the last owners had buried a huge great big cast iron bath at the back of the garden :lol: Took a lot of digging to get the damn thing out ](*,)

[Warren]

I feel a little inadaqute in this department I have never felt the joys of a massive burial. But I have dug half a whole (is that possible?)
This weekend I shall put it right and go down the beach and bury the biggest chav I can find or 2 medium size ones.

I have not burried anything big. However I have dug up a car.

When I left the army I moved into a council house in Cheltenham. The back garden had been used by the rest of the residents as a tipping ground. The council refused to sort it out. So I got stuck in.

After cutting the grass and weeds that were nearly as high as the 6 foot fence that surrounded them, the ground was very uneven. So I decided to level it. Started to dig and came accross what I thought was quite simply the roof of a car. It was. Followed by the rest of it.

Took me a week to dig it out and another 6 weeks to get the council to remove it. :roll: :roll:

I always hope the people living in our old house don't dig up the animal graveyards... well parents will keep buying kids lots of small mamals with short lifespans...

Up in Caithness, Highlands about 5 years ago.
A client whom I deliver to still has a picture of a 30 tonne cat-tracked 360 degree digger sinking into the peat bogs. To retrieve it, it would have needed a 60 tonne digger to dig & pull it out. But being the peat bogs, risking another machine would have been too costly, so they left the 30 tonne digger to sink in the bog. It's now completely submerged by about 20 feet now. :lol: :lol:

The owner's insurance co. wrote the digger off, and left it to nature... Imagine what the future Archaeological digs will say in 100 years time :) :)


Another JCB story - Douglas Park (Parks Motor Group, Scotland). He was building his new tesco style house near Hamilton. The foundations weren't hard enough, so the construction crew had to use a big 360 degree digger to dig down 175 feet to solid foundations. Then they found out they couldn't get the digger back out of the hole, so it was buried in type 1 rock, boulders and concrete. DP's tesco / asda style luxury house now sits on top of the digger :!: :!:

Imagine filling in the insurance claim form :roll: :roll:

when I was excavating the foundation for the barn I am building, we uncovered a boulder that was approximately 40cubic meters, it was so big we could not remove it, so we had to dig a deeper hole and push it in and bury it
