There's been much talk of money on here today, crass I know, but what (within the bounds of realism) do you think is a really good wage, when are people paid too much, how much would you like to earn?

alt: are you thrifty or profligate?

altalt: do you think Monty might be dead?

It is vulgar to discuss income. Actual, desired or otherwise.

There is a very brief shot of Lampito's hot flatmate on the great british beer festival "beercast".

You know who I mean you devious cow.
Although, that said, Crows soft and effeminate wrists give the impression of belonging to a young lady and would add a certain air of wistfullness to any lovemaking that might occur with him.

i think that's a "really good wage". i think people are paid too much when they aren't doing a good job, or that job is rather pointless. footballers are the best example. you are kicking a ball around. not curing cancer.

to be fair, it's highly specialised, he's v v bright, and he works his arse off
he gets paid that because v few people can do what he does.

none of this stops him being a FUCKING TOSSER, however.

Of course it is. I merely want to know what job someone can do that justifies a salary of £300,000 a year.

On the other side of things though, if you bring in millions to your company, it would be worth paying out that wage.

I think a good wage gives you the ability to buy lots of wine
you are paid too much when you waste money on wine that doesn't come in discounted crates and I'd like to be paid enough to buy a worthless bottle of vintage 1790 claret.
( Kroney, Wed 26 Jun 2013, 17:43, Reply)

hahahaha
the problem with w(h)inegate is that basically, searching around for deals and discounts makes you look like a pov. most people don't want 12 bottles of identical povvy wine. shove them up your povvy cock and shit out a t k maxx shellsuit.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 26 Jun 2013, 17:45, Reply)

I just bought 3 bottles of mead reduced from £8.99 to £3.99
Does that make me a povvo, because if it does I don't care cos I already drank one/ Also stay about from our mead when you come down, its mine. Hopefully by the time we meet you will have forgiven me for photoshopping a A&F demin mini skirt on to a fat male, adding animal stick legs and putting your actual face on the body to make it look like you have no neck.

It's a well rounded, tasty and well priced at £6.50 a bottle.

This is how you get value for money on wine.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 26 Jun 2013, 17:49, Reply)

I have a wine guy.
He does some very nice bottles for around that sort of layout. He imports them and gives me 10% off :)

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 26 Jun 2013, 17:53, Reply)

all the wines i like are about £20 a bottle
i like sancerre, for example.

luckily, £20 also buys rotgut vodka, and i can happily neck that instead.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 26 Jun 2013, 17:51, Reply)

I like a bit of Sancerre
You can get a decent drop for less than £20 I you look
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 26 Jun 2013, 17:54, Reply)

Sancerre rose is quite nice occasionally, particularly with barbecued lamb.

I spend whatever I have and my lifestyle stays the same.
I had a 50% increase last year which was nice, I don't have to think when I spend aslong as I keep things resonable.

I think if I wasn't a sicko I could probably get another 50% on top of what I get today, but I don't really want the stress of being so high up, as i'd have to manage people, and I just wanna code.

I reckon the most exgravigent I get is getting a minicab to pick up a take away from my favorite resturant every month or soo because i'm _just_ outside their delivery area, don't drive and really like the food.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Wed 26 Jun 2013, 17:49, Reply)

Can they not make an exception or charge you an extra couple of quid?
That would make far more sense
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 26 Jun 2013, 17:55, Reply)

I've asked them, and its because he doesn't want to do deliveries in the first place, because it takes a member of staff away from the busy resturant floor.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Wed 26 Jun 2013, 17:58, Reply)

They'd deliver to Al's though, #justsayin

I wish Needos or Tayyabs did deliveries.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 26 Jun 2013, 18:00, Reply)

How much is a one-way cab?
If you know your cab company, you can ask them to pay for the meal (if Needos/Tayyabs don't do remote-carding) and then you pay the driver. The driver would need a pretty sweat tip though if you don't know them.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Wed 26 Jun 2013, 18:08, Reply)

I live about a 40 minute drive away so it would be ridiculously expensive

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 26 Jun 2013, 18:11, Reply)

Hah, yeah', that's gonna cost a pretty penny,
Plus with those two places, one of the good things is ordering a little and then ordering a bit more depending on what everyone fancies.... rather than doing one big order at once.... which you can't really do with delivery.

Didn't realise you were so far out of London.

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 26 Jun 2013, 18:00, Reply)

I figure, when I do it, I'm normally not going out that weekend, or I spend plenty of weekends where i'm not going out...
.... and the meal comes to £20ish, and the delivery is about £8.... Give or take a quid here'n'there, £30 on a weekend's enjoyment (I get two meals out of it 'cus I don't eat much in reality) isn't exgravigent.

I don't mind the footballers too much
They only earn the huge money if they are worth that much to the club same as any job. if you are worth it to the employers they will pay you. And they are required to spend a lot of time in England paying tax so again, no problem as far as I am concerned.
