LOL It's terrible.
PS I wonder how many oenophile's are clicking on this thread expecting to be reading about strip clubs, tattoo's and boners. Shocking.0 -

Is there such a thing as a boner-phile?0 -
Strip joints and fine wines. Crikey this takes me back to the golf years.....0

Bitter, wine and titty bars - just like a night out in Alsager. The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.0 -

You told everyone they were sure to profit by investing in an asset that has lost 20% of its value over the past 2 years. That's good advice?0 -

And this is why it's difficult trying to advise people. Wine, fine wine has lost value based on previous yields but overall that yield is superb. If I were totally honest with you guys I would be ridiculed but you don't have to take my advice. I don't lie, the advice is good.
Take a case of lafite over the last 30 years and tell me if any haven't doubled in value.
It's easy to pick faults but you guys seem to love it, I read easier where someone argued a point about wheels with ugo, he is a wheel man who offered advice, best to take that advice as normally you have to pay for pro advise.
Most of is charge for what we know, it's what turns the world. Would a builder tell you how to do a job at home so you can do it yourself ?
You pay every day for advise so I can't see the problem with taking it onboard.Living MY dream.0 -
Not joining in the bashing but doubling your yield over 30 years is a pretty poor return.VTech wrote:.........Take a case of lafite over the last 30 years and tell me if any haven't doubled in value.....
Not having the figures to hand but I am fairly sure that inflation would have gobbled that up.None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0 -

To explain better, there isn't one that hasn't doubled, in fact far greater and far better than bank and inflation.
A 73 Montelena at less than £5 now worth more than £50k.
I'm not forcing you guys to listen, I've just offered good advice.Living MY dream.0 -

Money put in a deposit account 30 years would have trebled in value by now. You really don't understand this stuff, do you?0 -
I'll take your word for it but invest elsewhere.
Wine and whisky are for drinking, bikes are for riding and cars are to be driven.
I will enjoy these pleasures for what they are and treat investments as just that.
PS, I have drunk some very collectable malts and have no qualms or regrets about it at all.None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0 -

How do you know i'm not researching an essay on financial crime and just taking a break from reading about securities fraud and re-hypothecation?0

Dont waste your time being a hater, you too have the power.
Judging by the amount of dust in the wine aisle of that supermarket I'd say it was shoprite Ramsey.0 -
Your watch is on your right?!! Nooooooooooooooooo!0

The hands aren't mine. They belong to one of the most famous winemakers in history. A man who shaped the way wine is perceived in the new worlds today.

I did, and the very same people jumped in as always.
Maybe some of you should listen to me, I post good advice and am not even charging for it.
BTW, every post about bikes is materialistic.
What I meant was not to mention money in every comment and try and avoid making remarks that are antagonistic as you have in your reply to me
To be fair to VTech, I don't think every post he makes is directly about money, more indirectly in that he likes to drop in references to his lifestyle which is perhaps more affluent than the average? His robust and tenacious posting style to perceived and actual critical comments about this and his life priorities are perhaps why he is where he is today?
Oh and I'm not defending him (not that he needs this) nor am I in a similar situation (wealth wise) - it just doesn't bother me that much as my priorities are rather different.Tail end Charlie

When a person talks about matters that relate to him or her it is always difficult to give an open reasoning to a person who asks a question without relating to circumstances.
People on here will often ask what the best bike is for a certain cost range.
I can't help the fact that money hasn't been an issue in my bike choices and in other aspects of my life. I work hard ad have had some good fortune but I'm not going to apologise for that.Living MY dream.0 -

Really? It's difficult to explain things without referring to yourself?
The reality is, like all devout consumerists, you are self-obsessed.0 -

A guy comes on the forum, asks for the best bike for his budget, he gives a budget of £500, this assists the people replying as they will not specify a bike costing more than £500. This is quite important when asking this question.
I however have not asked for any assistance based on money, I dont need too which obviously offends you but dont get jealous, if you need to get some of that energy out of your system your welcome to come round mine and take this for a spin.
It sits in the garage as its not too nice to drive, another impulsive purchase but hey ho.
Dont be a hater my friend, you too can make something of yourself, put the same effort into those books and maybe one day you can assist me with some litigation.Living MY dream.0 -

I don't know about others but I reckon this thread's turned a bit ugly. I hasten to add, I'm not offended by it or asking for the mods to take any sort of action (just to clarify).Tail end Charlie

You are mistaken. I am not jealous of your wealth. Your wealth is neither here nor there, especially as i have no idea how wealthy (or not) you are. It is your attitude i am trolling.
Anyway, litigation doesn't interest me . Neither does money or career status. I just want to get my studies over and done with so i can actually be a useful member of society. I don't want a big house or a fast car, just a place to live that suits my needs and i'll only get a car if i need one - so good luck trying to paint me as jealous. :roll: 0
