There's a queue:
"He was there with about ten friends on a private table but after the big bottle came in they were mobbed by gorgeous girls.

"There must have been about 60 of them at any time vying for his attention and he then ordered shots for every single woman in the club."

haha i wonder how much of it was ran up on the company account...
 
I have seen similar occur at the Ross Island Hotel with a Rex Watson McKie 3 Cabernet Sauvignon.

Gorgeous girls are gorgeous girls, but a Coonawarra is a good drink.

gg
 
The poor guy was out at a club in Liverpool??? Was he lost or something?? No wonder he wanted to drink himself into oblivion.
 
Oh dear .... :D

Alex Hope, the 23 year-old trader who hit the headlines after spending £125,000 on a single bottle of champagne, has been arrested on suspicion of being involved in an unauthorised foreign exchange trading scheme.

Hope's publicist last night confirmed that he had been arrested but said that he denies all allegations.
