Would anyone on here who wishes to make posts relating to their personal wealth and alluding to their affluent jet setting lifestyles please post them on this thread. :D

This so under achieving, envious plebs like me don't have to keep having my nose rubbed in it; and you high fliers can enjoy a first class,testosterone fueled,bank balance comparing totally tasteless w@nkfest amongst yourselves. :wink:

    I was going to have a Subway for lunch yesterday, but decided that since it was 'on the company' I'd spoil myself and go to Pret instead. I even had a fizzy apple juice AND a water.

    Living the f'in dream, I am.

    Just so we know, at what point does justify-ably spoiling yourself become indulgent excess?

    I sit on both sides of the fence with some self denial and some undoubted excess. :? :wink: :P 8)
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    I've just had orange juice in my champagne. Does that count as vulgar enough ?

    When I go whoreing in BK I ALWAYS go the the Biergarten of Sukhumivit Road which is MUCH cheaper. THEN I go to the Bhumrungrad Hospital which is MUCH MORE epensive but a tad less embarrasing than going to my GP in the UK. But I do travel Economy Class. All of the other people in each of these venues are vulgar!

    I can maintain my lifestyle without having to go to work or rely on a pension.

    Anyone who has a job, or pension, no matter how well paid you are, you are considerably poorer than me.

    Therefore I am rich, I win.

    Can we move on now, and talk about cycling?

    This, whilst true, is intended as a humourous dig at the common folk who insist on behaving in a vulgar way, wealth is not only about money or possessions.

    I just had a free lunch at work in the office canteen, the "roast" potatoes were raw in the middle, the "roast" pork had more fat than meat, the carrots were tasteless pre-frozen, the stuffing looked more like chicken sick and the rice pudding had a nice thick crusty skin on the surface with a "what looked like" jam, but was really just boiled down sugar and red food colouring....

    It was free, because if it wasn't, no-one would actually eat it!

    Let's see.......
    I use a Colnago instead of a Ribble.
    I use Campagnolo over Shimano.
    I use Rapha over Lidl.
    I use Mac over PC.
    I use a Nikon DSLR over a P&S.
    I use a proper HiFi over anything available at a general shop.
    My cheapest pair of shoes were over £100, and that was sales price.

    I may not be rich, and now I can see why :wink: , but I am sure some will consider some of the above to be vulgar.

    Flip side....
    I fly budget airlines.
    I live in a small house.
    My car is 6 years old.
    I don't have pay TV.
    I don't spend time in pubs (much).
    I shop on-line for bargains instead of paying high street prices.
    I'm sure there is more.............

    You should use Fortnums rather than Lidl. And you are totally vulgar and always have been and always will be. 100 generations either side of your vulgar and hopefully brief life.

    I have some Waitrose mixed herbs I bought when we were at a holiday cottage in Bridport, 'cos Morrisons was too far to walk.

    Does this count ?

    Still using the herbs, btw.

    That is because you are dead and in a cemetary.

    That fucking "like" button is needed again!

    I'm guessing this thread was prompted by Mr "considerably richer than you" Student Housing Slum Landlord's thread yesterday which, I suspect, didn't quite get the response he was hoping for.

    I remember once ordering 100 bottles of Cristal champagne for a small Family and Friends get together, and the shop assistant correcting my pronunciation of said drink.

    Louis Roederer brut is just as nice to drink as Cristal, the cost is mainly in the bottle. Just like Ace's
