I've got this scene running through my head where on the night of the auction the high bidder is being nagged to get into the kitchen to help with the dishes....He's bidding away, $503.000, and he's in. Meanwhile wifey is through in the other room thinking, "That silly old duffer is buying another bottle, well, at least it keeps him out of the pub, what harm can it do?"
I've been collecting bits and pieces for about 30 years but I've never, ever, seen anything like this.
It's not like it's a rare motorcycle that he at least can ride around on and tinker with. All he has is bragging rights to the most expensive beer in the world.
When I see stuff like this I think he should now go and buy and goat for a village in Kenya or somewhere and maybe put down a well for some drinking water for the village also while he is at it. He can certainly afford to do it.
