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?

Not all that conspicuous, I suppose...
At the end of last year, having booked tickets to a gig in That London, I assessed the high price and relative crapness of cheap hotels, and decided to get a £1600/night suite (heavily reduced due to undesirable dates/advance booking/hotel being fairly new and trying to attract custom, I'm not *that* stupid). First class ticket there, of course, just to start things off. It had a massive double jacuzzi, showers that sprayed from every conceivable direction and angle, super expensive beds, champagne, view overlooking the Thames (and a helipad), lots of gratis odds and ends, posh restaurant, blah, blah, blah. We then had a strawberries and champagne on a catamaran trip down the Thames, and arrived at the O2 Arena. Whereupon I went for a piss, pulled the door instead of pushing, neatly wrenching it back past the doorframe, and got completely stuck in the toilet.
Karma doesn't want me to have nice things.
