I wouldn't have let on and pocketed the money.

Anyone who spends seven grand on a single dram of whisky is a ****ing idiot.
I bet you wouldn't know the difference between that and a ã40 bottle...
Anyone who CAN spend seven grand on a single dram of whisky is a ****ing genius.

Clearly he didn't, yet I'd wager he waxed lyrical about the astonishing flavour that only came from the best whisky in the world...

I could go and do it tomorrow and I'd still be a ****ing idiot (just a different kind to usual).
Remind me not to do business with you!
About 15 years ago I forked out over ã100 for a bottle of 1979 whisky from one of the Islay distilleries. Tasted absolutely fantastic, smooth as silk. I saw recently, where you can still get it, it's now going for ã1000 a bottle. Wish I'd bought more now.

Your reply is a bit abjective. If you bought ã100 pounds worth of gold in 2002 it would now be worth ã500 only you wont get that return as you have already drank it. Any commodity is only valued at what anyone else is willing to pay for it. This inclueds everthing in life.
Well done the Chinese bloke who can afford to buy it and well done to the person responsible for selling it to him
Donald Trump, any of his children, Paris Hilton, Prince Charles, pretty much anyone on that stupid Made in Chelsea show, Russel Brand, Jonathon Ross, Colonel Gaddafi's kids (at least before the invasion), any premier league footballer you care to mention...
I could go on. Point is, your bank balance does not correlate with your intelligence, and most rich people aren't self-made.
And those who are self made probably wouldn't spend that much on scotch. Can you imagine Alan Sugar doing so? Not likely.

I agree with most of your replies, but there are some self made millionairs, who actulaay didnt **** someone over
I'm not sure where I've implied that you have to **** someone over to be a self made millionaire.
Far from it, my comment assumes self made millionaires are intelligent, which I suppose isn't necessarily the case.

True, but it must get boring when you've run out of ideas what to spend the cash on next - a seven-grand dram of whisky is as daft or clever as owt else in that position. Me - I'd give the lot to cat welfare schemes cos I'm a sucker for the little buggers, but some would say I'm as daft as the whisky guy. Who cares, it'd be mine to do as I choose with!
Don't get me wrong, it's his money and he can do as he damn well pleases. It was the idea that rich people are necessarily intelligent that I disagreed with. I know just enough public schoolboys to know it's not true :lol:
Personally, I don't drink gold, but whatever floats your boat.

The guy was obviously showing off he probably didn't care that much when he found out later it was fake.
