  2. They bought the offcuts from a juice bar and have artfully scattered them at the gate to display affluence. It’s empty caviar tins and ~~champagne~~ sunflower oil bottles in Mount Merrion.

  4. They should be fined for littering. Leaving bags of food on the road only invites foxes and cats to tear up the bags.

    The amount of litter on our roads simply because people overfill their bins or leave bags on the ground every week is absolutely disgraceful.

  13. Lesbians with a long weekend planned.

    Edit –

    Team Downvote, I sincerely appreciate the lookin’ out, but I am in fact a lesbian.

  17. Used to be considered so rare and exotic that they were rented by the rich but not rich enough, to have at their parties for holding and passing around

  18. Fun fact, back in the 1600s pineapples were so exclusive that people would pay the equivalent of €1000 just to rent one to put on the table at a party. €2000 to eat it.

    A few hundred years ago that black sack would represent like 20 grand worth of pineapples.

  27. I’ll never get tired of the rental pineapple fact. The idea of Pineapples of the Evening going from party to party is just delightful.
