This presumably wouldn’t happen today and – at the risk of sticking our neck out – it probably shouldn’t have happened back then.
It’s the most extraordinary tale of a man who ended up with an alligator and his wife wasn’t too happy about it, so he gave it to his local pub.
It’s just gone viral on Twitter after it was posted by @documentbelfast over on TikTok and we’re not exaggerating when we say … it’s quite the watch.
DEMENTED video from 1988 of a Belfast man who acquired an alligator, got a tellin’ from the wife, then offered it to his local pub who decided to keep it in a tank behind the bar.
I was near sick laughing at how this ends. They don’t make absolute headers the way they used to. pic.twitter.com/FQn1yDn58p

So much to enjoy (and be horrified by) in 59 seconds flat.

Top tier mooncat, credit to the barman as well who says ‘Aye, I’ll take your alligator’.

Just the most 80s thought processes going on here.

This is brilliant. The nonchalance from all involved except the distrusting wife

Highlight for me is the woman saying ominously “I don’t trust him”. Excellent
