Totally absurd if you ask me...
Want to laugh everyone?
I just put down the phone with a client of mine. "Hey big guy let's go have a hamburger and coke in Amsterdam tomorrow afternoon..."
Hamburgers aren't really my thing but okay a client's wishes right? So I told him "We can pass by Wendy's on the way out of Amsterdam..." but you guessed it "No... Want something a bit more upscale." Errrr... I'm thinking, we are talking about bloody hamburgers here!!! "Okay... McDonald's perhaps Sir?" and now comes the really good one...
"No prefer the Amsterdam Hilton, like the chunks of butter better I can put on top..." So squeezing my toes together I said I'd reserve a table for two. This is to f**king idiotic to be true!!! I'm going to spend a whopping € 195 for four bloody hamburgers and two cokes!!! Some people where simply born with far to much money !!!

Promise me you will deprive him of a sizeable portion of his estate to invest in something useful like hookers or sports cars.

The last time I visited a place called "Wendy's" in Amsterdam, I got more than a f---ing hamburger.......
Good luck with that.

Yeah... Thinking of taking the beaten up Ford Mondeo with me. He can watch the road fly under him. 
Maybe then, slightly white and a bit scared he'll say the magic words "It might be a good idea to go for cheaper hamburgers..."
Although? Wouldn't mind seeing the Hilton valet service officers face when I say "Watch the paint job, it's rather unique...." (Dents, holes and rust spots, but hey, the engine runs like a dream)

I've heard it from his employee's. Apparently he puts a royal spoon full of real butter on the hot meat, lets it melt, then the ketchup. Hey... He's taking ten years off the back end of his life, not me.

Re: Totally absurd if you ask me...
Can't help it, the place looks so damn artificial to me. Just getting a coffee there gives me the creeps. Before you've had a chance to take even one sip? Ten people with artificial good manners will ask "Is it okay? Will there be anything else?" That irritates the hell out of me... Mega style !!!
In Dubai, the Hilton, as it's one of the few places you can get a decent cup of coffee, and where they don't kill you with British attempts of coffee making (sorry BE board, it's a fact, a Brit CAN NOT make a decent cup of coffee) I actual paid someone AED 50 just to see to it the rest left me alone. Early AM? Just bring liters of it, black...
