This is a question Conspicuous Consumption

Have you ever been photographed sat on a balcony eating a croissant; or wallowed in luxury just for the sake of it? What's the most ostentatious thing you ever seen or done?

Croissants! Thousands of 'em!

I got offered a job this week, that comes with a pay rise that equals what many full time workers earn as a living wage. And I already earn enough to live a perfectly comfortable life. Yesterday morning I lay in bed considering buying a second houseā€¦.a second fucking house for fucks sake...or perhaps a small aircraft.

If anyone has a better idea for the cash feel free to chip in with ideas.

A DPhil as opposed to a PhD?
So Oxford, then?

Pfft. DSci is what it's all about these days (if you're in the UK)!
