Conspicuous ConsumptionHave 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?

The art of mullingLast christmas we had what was meant to be a civilised wine and cheese night at my house. A few of our closet friends, the delicious yellow meat, and mulled goodness. Perhaps a bit too much brandy was added to the mulled wine, but pretty soon we were all hammered. Quite quickly we realised we were almost out of wine to boil - only two bottles left, the 1 litre cheapo from Spain, or the PR freebie our journalist friend had brought over. The freebie was selcted, on the basis that we wanted to 'enjoy' the big bottle later.
Several days later my housemate received a text from her journalist friend. The so-called freebie wine was worth £160. ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY POUNDS. Even to the most decadent French Duke, that's a pretty extravagant pot of mulled wine. And the vino we saved for later? £3 if that...

Why anyone ever takes the trouble to mull wine,is beyond me. Leave it to the Germans, I say.
