I was told it was called a pineapple plant, because it looks like a pinepple top, but googling for pineapple plant just returns actual pineapples (which this isn't, of course).
I don't have pics of the plant itself.. looks like some kind of yucca though although there's no 'trunk'. Just a load of sharp tough leaves coming out of the ground.
Whole plant

Leaves remind me more of something out of of the lily family and the flowers are somewhat similar to a day lily.

I think it was grown from a cutting IIRC.
looks like a bromeliad but not sure which
Does it ask to be fed?

No but it keeps trying to spit in my face.
Columnea linearis?

Edit: doesn't look quite right on closer inspection
Looks like Billbergia nutans to me, also known as queen's tears or friendship plant because it is easy to propagate and give to friends. A type of bromeliad.
Nice one, thanks 🙂 I was given a cutting by a friend so that's appropriate 🙂
Get @flowerpower on here the forum name is no coincidence. But I'll laugh my tits off if she can't name it...
Try googling 'Billbergia Nutans' and look at the images.
Is a form of bromiliad.
Then please let Surrounedbyhills know if he's at risk of losing his tits 8)
EDIT - just read whole post, well and truly beaten to it 😳
