Just a couple of drinks with the lads
 
Quote:
A businessman blew £125,000 on a single bottle of the world’s most expensive champagne while buying a round of drinks for more than £200,000 in a night club.

The financier ordered a 30-litre double Nebuchadnezzar-size bottle of Armand de Brignac Midas bubbly along with £60,408 on other beverages for his 10-man entourage.

Two waiters at the PlayGround nightclub at Liverpool's Hilton - which is on a huge publicity drive promising to bring 'six star Vegas luxury to Merseyside' - were needed to carry in the bulky 99lb bottle of champagne, which is the equivalent of 40 standard ones.
Soz, it's in the fail. :)

We did once, but decided that the Melchizedek sized bottles of vintage Bollinger was a better choice..

Good thing they didn't go on a Tuesday. Check out the bill: VAT free Tuesdays. He could have shaved 40 Grand off the bill. :D

Surely that would have been 'tax avoidance' though and he'd have been slammed for that wouldn't he..... :D
