I do not believe it, simply because heels do not just snap off shoes. They just don't. And this makes me doubt the rest of the article, too. Not that it has any substance. Or is even vaguely interesting.

they do snap off if they are cheap shoes read the article the other day, same old Dubai bashing.

I actually just felt sorry for the girl who asked her friends to do her a favour and take this journalist out - mmmmmm she's going to have a lovely time facing her friends after this piece of writing!

And really .. you could write this piece anywhere in the world - there are always going to be people with endless amounts of cash to throw about - and what's wrong with that?

He should have come out for a night with me - some entertainer vouchers and a trip to Barnasty or McGettigans!

If you have the cash, I see nothing wrong with spending it. That way it flows through the system and others get to benefit too. It so happens that many people here have a great deal of cash, although we all know that there are some living in credit. You can be a decent person with money, or a twat with it. Having cash and spending it doesn't mean anything in itself and why would anyone care about what others spend if they can afford to do so.

I reckon the hack was jealous as he is earning peanuts himself.

New money arseholes. The wealthiest people I know are largely tight bastards and you would think they had nothing. (That goes for the ME and UK)

Though the non news article is shite even by Dubai bashing standards.

Meow

Are you suggesting that Mentalist might actually be really wealthy?

britexpat76

I wouldn't mind being a $ behind him........

OleJanx

The Mental One always comes across as being like Scrooge McDuck...

Exactly! Well said Meow - this is what I wanted to write. If I can find the karma button I'll give you some ;-)

This is true. One of my earliest memories is of staying with friends of the family in their house in Gloucestershire. The family were so wealthy, they owned - amongst other things - Lord's cricket ground. However, we got half an egg for breakfast and our host spent the entire time extolling the virtues of runny marmalade over not-so-runny marmalade, as it lasts longer.

Hasn't Lords been owned by MCC since before you were born?
I agree with the earlier point about those who have.... are tacit.

LaLaLayla

I believe they owned the ground, not the club.
