This really is quite something. It’s a penknife, rather a keyring penknife that you’d likely see in a museum gift shop, with the words “Vivienne Westwood” on it. But wait, there’s a little pattern on the reverse side, featuring cocks. An amusing little gesture, agreed, but there’s only so edgy (please, no pun intended) you can make a swiss army knife keyring. Wait until you read how much it costs. Find out after the jump.
London curry house the Bombay Brasserie has debuted the world’s most expensive curry. The Samundari Khazana, or Seafood Treasure, is a mix of caviar, sea snails, a whole lobster and gold. Ok, still not seeing £2000 there. Read more after the jump.
I’ve been reluctant to put too many gadgets like mp3 players on the site because one can get into all manner of wanky nitpicking over details. So, for one time only (maybe), i’m going to get into wanky nitpicking over the HiFiMAN HM-801. With a name like Hifiman, it sounds a bit like something you’d buy from Argos for £20 quid, but let me tell you, it’s most certainly one for audiophiles. Read more after the jump.
So this is the Gumpert Apollo key by Eng-i-Creation, which is a “bespoke” foldable key and alarm remote for your car. I’m fairly sure it should be implicit that any key is bespoke and singularly linked to the lock with which it was bought, otherwise there’d be a whole lot of car and house swapping going on. Find out more after the jump.
So, General Motors, 101 years old and once the largest and most powerful industrial entity in the US is filing for bankruptcy in around an hour (UK time). It’ll be asking for protection from creditors after running up losses of $81bn (£50bn) over four years. Read more after the jump.
Now this is more like it. After last week’s iPhone shocker, here’s some consolation in the form of Alexander Amosu’s luxury phone cases, using crocodile, python, ostrich and lizard. And they’re all fully bespoke. And you won’t look like an idiot for having one in gold and mink and orphan tears. Read more after the jump.
Gordon “have some fucking bollocks” Ramsay has seemingly dropped a bollock, after The Times revealed his restaurant empire nearly hit the wall this year. It’s reported that accountants drew up plans to put the business into administration and at one point Ramsay owed the tax-man more than £7m. More after the jump.
God, Courtney Love must be the only person in the world to look worse than Kurt Cobain. Love, widow of Kurt, sometime musician and professional disappointment has been reportedly suffering from serious mismanagement of her, and her daughter Frances Bean Cobain’s inherited estate. Read more after the jump.
BMW-owned Rolls-Royce have been on a roll ever since they released the Phantom and it should be no surprise to hear that they are unaffected by the downturn, posting their best sales in 18 years in 2008, selling 1212 cars. Read more after the jump.
