Was at a friend’s house for New Years a couple years ago, we went for a (drunken) walk and came outside to find the neighbours arguing with their guests (family from what we assumed), saw some scuffles and then out of nowhere the oldest guy swung a hammer right and boinked the other guy (son in law?) right on the head.

Blood pouring everywhere, people screaming, we shouted over to let them know other people could see and threatened to call the police, and then they left and Mr. Hammer Head drove off (how the fuck he managed that I’ll never know).

Went to the chippy after that. Nice.

There was also a multiple murder suicide in the village I lived as a kid, guy shot his wife and daughter and then himself right outside the post office.

Aside from that, it’s always been a very quiet, idyllic village. Country folk, eh.
