OT sorry to hear that your husband talked you into loosing so much money on SUNW options. Rather than confining him to TV dinners, you might want to make him feel even worst by taking him to dinner with your IOM profit: Dinner for three? That will be $22,000, please LONDON (Reuters) - There is nothing unusual about three businessmen spending around 220 pounds ($370) on dinner in London's exclusive Le Gavroche restaurant. But very few rack up a wine bill of 12,870 pounds -- and for good measure send back the most expensive bottle in the house because it is "a bit young." The final damage? 13,091 pounds ($22,076). "It's the best single bill I've seen from a small table in the 26 years I've been working here," manager Silvano Giraldin said by telephone Monday. The anonymous trio announced they wanted to celebrate a birthday and began by quaffing a 1949 Krug champagne (560 pounds), followed by a 1985 DRC Montrachet (1,400 pounds). The three men -- discussing "very large sums of money" -- ordered lobster mousses and a salmon papillotte to start. To follow, they opted for two beef fillets with glazed shallots and a navarin of lamb with potatoes. The highlight of the evening came when the group ordered a bottle of 1985 Romanee Conti, a snip at 4,950 pounds. But there was a problem with the wine, the most expensive on the list. "They thought the wine was a bit young so they asked us if we wanted to finish the bottle. We enjoyed ourselves. It was a perfect wine," said Giraldin. Next up were a 1961 Chateau Latour (1,950 pounds) and then a 1945 Haut Brion (2,100 pounds) to accompany the cheese. A 1967 bottle of Chateau D'Yquem at 1,070 pounds came with a dessert of omelettes Rothschild. The party then racked up another 850 pounds on Armagnac brandy and cigars. "If people have that kind of money, why should they not spend it? It costs me more effort to pay for a pint of lager than it did for them to pay for the meal. Everything is relative," said Giraldin. Even more OT You might want to watch your shorts: almost all Deep Water Drillers rebounded. Did you check out Noble's new Website? i'm planning on 100% return without trading. BTW, i keep notes of your trades and hope to do half as good as you someday.
