2 things:
1 - they're eating OWLS! fuckers
2 - why do they have a branch in New York and branch in Southampton?
you know when rich people in American movies talk about summering in The Hamptons?

You know when people on DiS talk about the need to explain a joke?
your mom called,
she said you suck.
vvv Joey got it
massive fucking LOL at number 2
Actually
it isn't bad when you look at the food ordered.
it's the champagne and wine that made up the bulk of the bill.
I'm only looking at this in a "can I afford to eat here" way
dude's paying $12 for water
that's the most overpriced thing on there
we could've paid one fringe player for a week with that money
OUTRAGE!!!! :p
oh wait, this is in dollars
this amount might even struggle to pay for that.
£7,328 tip?!!!
I <3 Roman
*$
maybe he doesn't know you can get really nice slices of pizza
for like $2 in the east village?
we found a place that did 2 slices and a coke for $2.75
I love New York.
at the risk of sounding like a pizza snob (which i am)
it can't have been great, surely? we went to some place called two bros. 1 dollar a slice. we just HAD to try it. it was bloody crap.
for 1.85 you can get a slice at patsy's east harlem - pretty much the best slice joint we went to, above joe's and bleecker st pizza.
it wasn't exceptional or anything
but it was damn good for the price. To be honest I'm quite surprised cheap pizza by the slice hasn't caught on over here.
i don't really think there's a culture for it for some reason
there's a couple of slice joints in london but they're so rare. it would just take a few more places opening up and then a trend would start.
one of the places on charing cross road does slices
i bought one and he microwaved it so it went all soggy. MINUS ONE MILLION POINTS.
that's some crazy shit
they should put it back in the oven to heat it up. best slice joint in london is either l'artista on edgware road or arancina on pembridge road. check it.
i like how you're all calling them 'joints'
cos like, you've been to new york, yeah, you know what it's all about.
yeah friend
they're slice joints, what else would i call them. pizza shops? nah, fuck you
there is a place like that on like, 15th and 6th or something.
it was pretty foul though.
this was meant to be to the 2.75 post.
There's a place over the road that does a 7 incher for a quid.
My girlfriend doesn't live in Reading.
is that the place on st mark's? looks nasty. still, cheap is good.
ps, john's has the best pizza. it just does. no slice though, obviously.
disagree
i don't like john's that much but it's up there. patsy's is better.
but harlem is too far away
So this is what he spends his money on
now Chelsea can't buy any players
CREDIT LUNCH!
jeez
and I thought it was mad when someone at work charged a 50 euro breakfast for 2 on expenses.
fucking hell
i'd love to be a waiter at that place. 7 grand in your pocket for a nights work, including your 5 dollars an hour or whatever they get paid.
I'd be amazed if the waiters earned more than about £50 a night including tips
Rich person in high expenditure shocker.
I'm loving the drinks:food ratio
of approx 38k:9k
Unless it's an amazing vintage, that is one FUCK of a mark-up on the Petrus.
I totaly fucked up that arithmetic
Is that about a grand for food, the rest on booze? How can 'parmesan chunks' be $28? And "chunks"? CHUNKS? How appetising. Whatever happened to shavings? I bet they'd only cost a mere $16 or something. I have so many questions, and I am a notorious profligate.
i remember hearing a few years ago
about a group of rich people who spent about £10,000 on a dinner and one of the bottles of wine (which cost somewhere in the region of £800 - £1200) was deemed to be a bit shit after they'd tasted it, so they sent the rest of the bottle out for the kitchen staff to have.
can someone good with maths
work out the actual cost, relative to say...someone on £20k a year splashing out for a big meal for some mates. Would the ratio be that different? All relative I guess. Still a bit sickening but...yknow.
i'm good at maths
did you guess this or did you reply to me unintentionally ?
either way, wiki reckons his fortune in march was $8.5 billion (and also reckons he lost about $3 billion from the worlds economic problems so in 2007 that would be $11.5 billion)
if someone was in total worth $1,000,000 then Roman has 8500 times more money than them. so we divide $47,000 by 8,500... and we get $5.50
it would be like someone who was worth $1,000,000 buying a meal for $5.50
i wonder what the average person in this country is worth...
no
but good work
