Currently on sale at a supermarket in Beijing and retailing as ‘happy/joyful doll pears’, the fruit is believed to be shaped in a mould during the initial stages of growth, keeping that shape as it expands and grows into a fully ripe nightmare.
But…
Missing since Tuesday.

This is Steve the cat. Steve has been missing in the Harold Road/Murtagh Road area of Stoneybatter, Dublin 7 since Tuesday evening. Steve should be wearing a red collar, the tie is just for work.
Anyone?

We are producing a new marriage equality video so wondering if you would mind posting the following on your blog as we are in desperate need of an elderly couple that are willing to speak on camera pro same sex marriage. The couple need to be 65+ and available to film next Tuesday 26th in Dublin city centre. Please contact marts@cocotelevision.ie for more details.
But the owner of this Vespa.

I’m wondering if you can help with tracking down my scooter? It’s a Vespa px200 and was robbed from outside my gaff in Rathgar on Thursday night between 6-8pm. I heard a van pull up and thought nothing of it then an hour later went out and no bike.
Black Vespa px200 reg plate 02D6274, front and fairing large crash bar screwed into leg sheilds, triangular crash bars on side panel, front rack with lights and black leather king and queen saddle. Crack in the speedo glass. If anyone sees or is offered this bike could they get in touch?
Girls, what do ye think of this fella? brne.ws/8cg twitter.com/breakingnewsie…
