In Dublin there was a monument locally called “The Floozie in the Jacuzzi” (“floozie” is someone promiscuous) which apparently the artist quite liked. It got moved off the main thoroughfare at some point.

    I was in Norway some years ago, visiting a friend in her summer… hut? Everything about it was great, but that cheese was not mine 😅

      If someone calls it their summerhut (hytte), they have at least one more, used for the winter. So your friend is rich. Many people only have one, and those who don’t (like me, grew up very poor) are usually considered “lowered”-class.

      Norway is, unfortunately, mostly about status and class, which is fucking horrible… First thing people ask is “what do you for a living” to figure out how much respect to give you. I hate it! I remember at a party with rich people; when asked what I did, I told then I was retired. They then asked if it was “early retirement because you cannot work?” I smiled and said no, I just don’t need to work. They would then talk to me about investments etc instead of not talking to me at all… Fuck these people!!

        Na, it was just my lack of English (or Norse). It was more like a cosy shack with an outdoor toilet on a cliff by the ocean. And she has inherited it and is using it with the whole family. She’s just a broke German/Norwegian gal 😅

          OMG! That sounds exactly what a hytte should be! Small shack with amenities - not two tv rooms, sauna, jacuzzi etc. Sounds like she has my dream hytte 😎
