Banker's £41,000 champagne spree

The Monaco-based financier spent more than £26,000 on champagne
An investment banker has been landed a £41,000 bill after ordering more than 70 bottles of champagne and spraying it around the VIP room of a nightclub.
The financier spent more than £26,000 on the champagne at the members-only Mo*vida Club in Argyll Street, Soho and was given a £15,000 cleaning-up bill.

He ordered 49 bottles and six magnums of Cristal champagne and 13 bottles and two magnums of Dom Perignon.

The man is from Monaco where "champagne spraying" is said to be more common.

He also paid an optional 12.5% service charge of almost £3,000 as well as buying a range of soft drinks.

The club spokesman said: "It might seem a tremendous waste but if someone is willing to pay the bill for any damage they are free to do what they want, as long as it's legal."

He said the damage was confined to the private VIP room of the club so other guests were not affected.

The spokesman said he had not heard of a similar instance in a London club.

WHAT A WASTE ! It makes me weep - surely he could have made as much mess with Blossom Hill sparkling- seldom has the rhyming slang been more apt.
 
Ah, just champagne abuse - I thought you were having a go about a particular gentleman paying $9.7m for a STORM CAT yearling...
 
Fair enough, but isn't there a case for moving Thommo up to the Lord Idiots in order to make way way for a fresh Common Idiot of the Year. Otherwise recognised idiocy could be stifled for years to come. Well, until Thommo dies at least.
 
I agree with DIVER - this chap is just an over-wedged poseur, displaying mere ostentation in a single display of idiocy. Achieving Lords Idiot status takes a solidly-sustained programme over a number of years, passing all of the rigorous exams in Dreadful Punning, Irrelevant Asides, Embarrassing Personal Remarks; Wrong Names & Titles, and Misleading Information; Repetition (Anecdotal) and Repetition (Jokes), as well as the ability to improvise in Insensitivity and Patronage (Women I and The Elderly, I and II). Tommo is gliding effortlessly into Lords acceptance, with few peers able to mount a staying performance to match.
 
When the above qualities are pointed out to him he simply turns the other cheek and becomes an arse. A Grade 1 one at that.
