I can’t believe there isn’t a professional footballer out there that doesn’t own one of these beauties. I’m talking about a range of table football tables that are around $28,000 each.
Each table is hand made and exclusive to the client, taking 400 hours to complete. The client chooses which players he wants on each team and the craftsmen do their thing, designing each player as requested. The players can even be your own family and friends, all they need are pictures and they do the rest!
Enough about the players, the table itself has features such as on-field lighting and built in bubble levels to make sure your field is true. They also send a technician out to install your table and make sure it meets foosball standards.
Check out the pictures on the Opus website.
If sculpture, mixed in with Halloween, and a little bit of hippy is your thing then you may like the thought of a 100% recycled copper pumpkin hanging from a tree in your garden.

How much would you pay to drink a cup of coffee made from beans that are hand picked out of animal poo?
Say £20 on a single cup?
If so, now’s your chance, Hervey’s Range Heritage Tea Rooms located at the top of the Hervey Range, west of Townsville, Australia is your place.
The coffee itself is made from rare Kopi Luwak beans, which are retrieved from the droppings of the Luwak, a cat-like member of the civet family which is found in the jungles of Indonesia.
The Luwaks apparently eat the ripe coffee cherries, but the inner bean is not digested, meaning they can be retrieved from the animal’s droppings. The beans, which are then washed and given only a light roast so as to not destroy the complex flavours - cost $1250 per kilogram.
The taste is apparently sweet and smooth… but surely you’d find it a struggle to get the thught out of your head of Luwaks poo whilst driking it!

The days of the Fonze and old drive in moves are back. For a measley $14,995 (economy model) you can have your own 24 foot inflatable screen. The brains behind the concept is VXP, an American company who are currently selling the screens on eBay.
VXP also do a more professional 30 foot ‘pro’ screen for those passionate about drive-ins.
Something tells me that these will be popular all over the globe, especially when you compare the price to giant LCD screens, and at least you can fold these away easily for next sumer too!

Indonesia’s super rich super-sized folk are lining up for this special culinary delight.
We’re talking about a burger that integrates a bit of the West with the East and is possibly the most expensive in the World today. It’s available at the Four Seasons Hotel.
Here are the stats:
Weight: 200 grams (7 ounces)
Beef: Finest Japanese Kobe beef
Sauce: Wasabi mayonnaise
Filing: Italian portobello mushrooms
Bun: Home-made onion-wheat bun
Extras: Served with Asian pear, French foie gras and French fries.
FACT - Kobe beef comes from the ancient Japanese Wagyu black cattle breed which receive a daily massage, reputedly one of the secrets of its famous marbling, flavor and tenderness. During the final fattening, the cattle are also fed hefty quantities of sake and beer mash, the theory being that mellow, relaxed cows make for good beef.
