I say fair play to him

Why do i say this ?

At least on his death bed he can say he has lived, thats what money is supposed to enable and he does, yes, £100K could do alot more, but i bet he had one hell of a night.

Same as that lout who wasted 10mil from the lottery, granted he`s a fool and should of had 1mil contingency left behind, but, he can say he has lived, what can we all say ?

we go to work, pay the bills, if your lucky a holiday every couple of yrs, same old crap,do we really live, Nope !

Out on a Wednesday night till 02:48 sober enough to settle a tab should come out with me and the mates on a Saturday night good crack we will give him a good night again drinking drink at £5 a pop night like that would be good on a death bed gutted I only get the occasional flashback of what happened but all good,drink is drink better social in good company bet there was not a real mate with him that night just *** licking freeloading work mates that probably think he is the pretentious ****** he is. Sorry that's my take on this, but on my deathbed blowing £121k on drink on a Wednesday night would have me feeling ashamed of my self again with the good I could have done with it.

The point is that those prices are a total con, no one can justify those sorts of prices!

I agree that those prices are ridiculous, almost immoral in today's cost-cutting society.

Someone who pays that sort of price and then publishes their 'achievement' are just outrageous egotists with no perception of value for money.

I recently sold a 4 bed detached house for less than those bar prices.

Can anyone tell me how a bottle of fizzy grape juice is worth £28K?

I bet in blind taste tests people would be hard pressed to tell the differnece from a £200 bottle.

I am pretty sure that ace of spades stuff is literally a creation by some marketing guru to take money from the stupidly wealthy. The understanding was that if it was expensive enough some idiot would buy it. They used Jay-z to market the drink after he fell out with Cristal and hey presto, a dormant champagne brand was relaunched in 2006 and sold for a lot of money, it was then quadrupled in price and sold by a nightclub to a wealthy idiot.

Thats my thinking. If something fashionable, its becomes expensive.

We had some Spanish champagne for Christmas Lunch. Well its not champagne becuase its Spanish and due to all the EU naming restrictions, but we still call it champagne, if just to annoy anyone who's and purist and/or French

Costs eff all, and to me tasted better than a bottle of Dom peri from a poor vintage (not that I would ever purchase the latter anyway). Now if only I could re-market it as "the" favoured drink of Hollywood celebs, I could make a tidy sum and pull Spain out of the economic crisis
