The gigantic slipper-sleeper, or is it sleeper-slipper?
The amused and smug guy in the photo is Tom Bodddingham, a British young man who has one foot somewhat bigger than the other. So he ordered a made-to-measure pair of slippers in China - one size 13 and the other 14.5. But an error occurred: instead of size 14.5 he was sent one 1450 in size.
Tom, being a good sport, is far more chaffed and amused than angry. He is now putting the gigantic slipper for sale as cosy sleeping bag/bed on eBay. For sure he will get at least triple the price as he had paid.
A luxury hotel suite 150 metres under ground!
This hotel was formerly a coal mine in Sweden, ancient, disused & abandoned for years; until some brilliant brains cooked up the idea of converting it into a most unique hotel for novelty seekers.Even in Spain, there are a few luxury hotels costing more than this one. But for me, even if I were able to afford the price, I will definitely feel claustrophobic. It's like an ancient dungeon, albeit with all luxury facilities.
