A coconut has been detained by Maldivian police on suspicion of vote-rigging in a key presidential election. The coconut, described as “young”, was found near a school that will be used as a polling station on Saturday on the remote Kaafu atoll, one of the hundreds of islands that comprise the Indian Ocean archipelago state.
The local Minivan news website reported that police “took the coconut into their possession” around 7.05am on Tuesday, after they received a complaint about the suspicious fruit near the school on the Guraidhoo Island, which lies 130 miles from the capital, Male, and has a population of around 2,000.
Any excuse

We’ll show the World we’re drinkers on Arthur’s Day.
Not gentlemen or thinkers on Arthur’s Day.
We’ll puke in our hands and piss where we stand, and we’ll fill the A&E wards, we’ll binge and minge talk shite all night in Ireland in our hordes on Arthur’s Day.
We’ll reinforce the stereotype on Arthur’s Day, that the Paddy is a guttersnipe on Arthur’s Day.
A bestial dog just up from the bog no manners in his head. We’ll drink and stink and curse and worse and soil our sodden beds on Arthur’s Day.
We’ll leave the streets in tatters on Arthur’s Day. Cos drink is all that matters on Arthur’s Day.
We’ll raise a glass, fall on our ass and never give a damn, or have a bother that we’re all just fodder for an advertising scam on Arthur’s Day.
Down with Arthur’s Day.
Waterboy Mike Scott pulls no punches with his feelings on Arthur’s Day.
Listen responsibly.

New figures from the Eurobarometer show 66% of Irish people see EU membership as a “good thing”, while 75% say Ireland has benefited from membership. Some 43% of Irish people feel member states’ public debt is one of the main challenges facing the EU.

Nails it.
