Nursing Homes[編集 | ソースを編集 ]
The "Sidmonton" area is known as having the biggest elderly population in Bray with at least 12 and half old people within each square metre of the land.

In an interview, Paul was asked why they chose such a place to hold their training and he replied "It's the closest thing to Mount Everest we have around here, the fierce wind puts up quite the challenge passing our fruits from one to another but that's how we roll, I mean... if we could, we would train in an immense gravity room but sadly NASA haven't created that facility for us yet..." They have been looked at as National heroes, they even have a book coming out called "Live and Let Fruit Throw" which is due out late 2009 and is expected to be sold to millions. Apart from being the champions of Fruit Throwing - they also enjoy soup, in a recent interview Shauna stated " Soup is incredible, it makes me feel soup-er" and then Paul and Shauna laughed.
Bray Head[編集 | ソースを編集 ]
The standard of head in Bray is excellent. For a mere €5 you can find yourself behind the band stand on the seafront with the toothless gob of a large gold hoop and tracksuit wearing local beauty wrapped around your member. Those gals provide the ultimate head service in the entire county and receive sponsorship from Brian Cowen himself. He is quoted as saying "I am positive that the cuts in welfare in the 2009 budget in favour of a tracksuit and cap allowance for the Bray Head Beauties Association, will bring massive change for the better in the county, and indeed all affiliated organisations countrywide"

In the late nineties/early noughties Bray Town Council introduced a scheme where local youths could exchange their baseball caps for new trendy mullet haircuts in a bid to stop Brays ever growing greasy fringe problem. The local youths welcomed this new fashion statement, although teased at first the trend quickly caught on and can now be seen on local tearaways as far away as Shankill and Ballybrack.
Bray Music Scene[編集 | ソースを編集 ]
Bray boasts of having the "Lonely Planets" best bar in the world on its doorstep! The Harbour bar, run by the "Tool" family hosts a bustling music scene with live acts performing for scraps and sometimes for their very lives. Bands like "U2" and "The Bray Lakers Fakers" regularly play the haunt with starry eyed local acts such as the Peacan Trippers trying to get a break in their shodows.
To the other end of the sunny strand you will find an eclectic mix of acts playing the 2 main bars on the seafront. The Martello regularly hosts up and coming acts including the Dildo Sisters. It is always free in due to the broke nature of local residents and the fact that nobody in their right mind would pay for the experience..

The Republic of Bray[編集 | ソースを編集 ]
On the 6th of May, the local seperatist group, The Bray Knackers Front (or the BKF), along with their allies the Bray Illiterate Front (or the QGC) attacked the Civic Offices and declared Bray a republic. The Gardaí tried to take back the offices but were wiped by maltov cocktails and a big walrus name "CHUCK". This was quickly followed by the most detructive war of Independance EVER, in which over 10 BILLION died. Finally, on May 8th, just two days after it began, Bray officially became a republic. Fianna Failure member, Dick "head" Roche was elected president for some reason. Then all of a sudden, people remembered what a gobshite he is, and shot him only five minutes later.
