The Happy Pears twins

gramar

I know nothing about them only what I saw on the LLS recently and they seem just like the type of busy **** that I don't like but as 99.99% of the time I am unaware of their existence I can live with that.

So some lads start a business together based around vegetables and healthy eating, they give courses on healthy eating and generally just encourage people to eat healthier and be happier.......and you're saying they're ****?......

right.

Is this some cafe up in Dublin ye are on about?

I'm Donegal, we eat vegetables with our dinner every day and there's not one word about it.

Pretentious nonsense.

I don't trust people that smile that much. They also appear to have no eyeballs, just these two dark slits where their eyes should be. I've also seen these grown a*s men wear matching clothes, which is disturbing.

In summation, they're the vegan Terrance and Phillip. Celebrity food people tend to annoy the hell out of me anyway. Just serve the damn food and get off my television, I don't care about your 'philosophy'.

(Yes I'm highly irritable)

I'm from the area. Cafe De Stelle across the road does the best coffee in greystones. Their uber happiness brand they got going is working, fair play to them. Making a mint.

My missus gets all giddy when they reply to her comments on their YouTube vids. Havent tried any of their grub and the recipes look like a lot of work with no meat as a reward. Feck that.

I genuinely have no idea who these guys are, sounds like they're doing well for themselves though? Fair play to them I suppose.

I have known them a long time, they are well travelled, educated, speak a few languages, great crack, and absolute gentlemen. They employ quite a few people (someone told me 40 but I don't know if this is true), have won several business awards and manage to make a good living from their passion. Every weekend I pass their shop / restaurant and the quest are across the footpath.

They have managed to make healthy food taste delicious by turning a failing vegetable shop into a thriving business. But of course this is Ireland so there is never a shortage of begrudgers. There is no failure like success in this country.

Are they the same vegans who're doing handstands and sharing pictures all over social media?

It's in Greystones, which is Glasthule for people who aspire to live in Sandycove/Glasthule/Dalkey, but can't afford it.

Arra they're only yet another couple of fellows making money off our stupidity.

In this case, the idea that if we buy their overpriced rabbit food, we're on the road to health. Mung beans and Cool Jim's Granola indeed.

Do you genuinely believe that food and health are not related?

Yes.

They are charging extortionate amounts for 'weekly veg. boxes', which look like they are made up of the Super Six from Aldi. Other than that don't have a problem with them.

Texas Jack

Sitting next to them on a long flight, you'd be hoping ISIS were sitting behind you.

Um. I never said that at all.

I was talking about their products, not food in general. I don't need rugby playing hipsters (yes...I tried watching their TEDtv thing, rugby, boarding school, homosexual joke, boozing and chicks all referred to in first 2 minutes, I stopped watching) to tell me vegetables are good.

Yeh spot on O all seeing eye of Sauron!!, everyone in Greystones secretly wants to live in Sandycove/Glasthule/Dalkey.

Where do you get this rubbish from??

Myself, all my friends and all our families secretly wish we lived 3 dart stops up the coast. We live there because it is a beautiful town. Sorry to ruin your illusion you patronising tourist!

Point to note my Queen serving friend, Greystones has more money in its environs that those 3 towns put together.

The Happy Pear.

There are two of them.
They are always smiling.

The Happy Pair.

woooooooosh!

They make the best pesto I've ever bought. They do three different types and each one is delicious. I've eaten in their restaurant in grey stones and it was lovely. Maybe some posters should give them a chance before knocking them!

6 stops.
Bray, Shankill, Killiney, Dalkey, Glenageary and then Glasthule.

So if we criticise anybody we are immediately called a begrudger? Or is it just your friends we can't criticise? I don't like these two guys and I know a lot of people in Greystones who don't. I don't like the way they seem to have completely taken over the footpath in front of the shop. At weekends it is becoming increasingly difficult to get past with the amount of people in the way but they seem to think they can get away with it because they are some sort of Greystones 'institution'.

Begrudging and bitter springs to mind.

You are the first person to suggest that. Ever.

I've seen people criticise Irish sports stars, musicians, politicians and business people.

And you have just invented a defence that can be trotted out each and every time, for any of them. That's...brilliant.

I was really disappointed the first time I went out to Greystones for lunch there. It's all hiddgledy-piggleldy inside (which is quite nice), but the service was terrible (on the two occasions I've been there) and the food was very unappetising. I had thought it was a veggie place, but it's hardcore vegan - I asked for some cream with my brownie and was looked at like I was a kiddy fiddler. Nothing tasted very nice - probably because it is so virtuous. And the place is full of a really weird mix of yummy mummies and crusties. All sitting on top of each other. I was very disappointed. I'm sure some people love it, but it's just not for me.

Nope, just think your post sounds petty and begrudging.
