Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays are the wettest days of the week in England. Now you know why we have Bank Holidays.

Wake Up And Smell The Cat Poo Coffee

Over the last 10 years, Australians have embraced coffee in all its forms, but they have saved the most expensive - and weirdest - for last.
The latest craze in the booming coffee scene down under is for Kopi Luwak - a different kind of brew all together.

Experience said to be uplifting
It is made in neighboring Indonesia from coffee beans excreted by native civet cats.
It is apparently the world's rarest and most expensive coffee, painstakingly extracted by hand from the animals' forest droppings.
When roasted, the resulting beans sell for around £182-a-pound.
The brew, described as earthy and syrupy, is acknowledged by connoisseurs as one of the world's finest.
Australia's first civet cat brew has only just gone on sale in Queensland state, selling for £20 a cup at the Heritage Tea Rooms, west of Townsville.
"Everyone calls it cat poo coffee," cafe owner Michelle Sharpe told the Australian Associated Press.
"People who willingly pay the $50 (£20) are uplifted by the thrill of the experience," her husband Allan Sharpe said.
Civet cats, considered a delicacy in China, are linked to the SARS respiratory virus that emerged in the south of the country in 2002 and spread globally.
Around a dozen people a month reportedly try out the exotic brew, with reactions so far 99% in favour.
"It's as good as my private life is bad. This is the kind of coffee you renounce your religion and sell your child for," one taster told AAP.

I have to say that this photo may have been doctored, also I am a cat lover but this just struck me as really funny, it also reminds me of a tomcat we used to have.

Just to extend the Poo situation, this has been posted on this site and I steal it with great glee.

And I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment.

Jeez Tony, thats quite disconcerting! Btw did you notice the number of posting those Ozy threadies have? Makes us look like newbies!!:blink::lol:

Re: It makes you think
 

Hi TDK
Nothing disconcerting about drinking wine:D IMHO
The Ozzy sites have lot's more people so they are bound to post more, plus the sneaky devils do it when we're asleep.
They do have quite a good joke thread.
However in Oz the beers terrible, if you get bitten/stung by anything YOU WILL die in various horrible ways. The only thing that won't sting/bite you is the true Australian bee.. So the expats that are too afraid to go out and wouldn't anyway because the beers awful stay in and post away on this site.
Sad really, not like us at all.:lol:

Hi Tony,

I think if i venture onto the other countries' forums i won't have any time left to eat, sleep or breathe!:rofl: (bad enough with this one)!:lol:
I quite agree there's some seriously scary/dangerous 'wild life' over in Oz, so not sure its the best place for us whinging Poms!:lol: (which as you say may explain why theres so many posting by BEs who've locked them selves safely in their computer rooms)!

I used to go to the lounge a lot but everything seemed to degenerate into innuendo, they are also a very close lot, but alright in small doses.
