until recently
one of the most expensive fertilisers you could get...

In the same way that Ambergris was hugely expensive (it still is to a certain extent) but has been surpassed by modern chemicals

I saw a documentary recently for a special type of coffee that is made from shit-out coffee beans.
They had actual Civet farms where the animals were force fed coffee beans due to high demand :(

I'm sorry, but if you buy that kind of coffee you deserve exactly everything you get
morally and otherwise.

Civets are cunts.
Given half a chance they would piss in your knicker drawer.

But what you get
is a nice cup of coffee, so surely that's ok?
(Bonzodog29 is an unemployed sponge of the worst kind, Mon 9 Dec 2013, 14:24, Reply)

I really don't care.
I just can't believe that the BBC has written a hand-wringing editorial about a kind of coffee almost exclusively purchased by the some of the worst fucking people on the face of the earth. As if they care.

And Stephen Fry.
I'm just assuming he bought it ironically.

If I recall an interview
He bought some for Prince Charles, as a gift for the man that has everything.

Just to be a difficult cunt
actually, it isn't. Guano "techincally" refers to the shit of seabirds* and pigeons aren't seabirds.

It's used to mean any birdshit in colloquial English but that's technically incorrect.

*yes, I know, also bat shit, for some reason, before someone googles it to correct me
