In some cases, yes. My passport is in the house and I can come and go as I please. Of course if I want to go on vacation I need permission from my boss. Isn't that the case everywhere for employed people?

I'm in Iraq and I get desert for free. In fact, there's desert everywhere! Also, $42 for Shiraz? Seriously? It's like $10 at any wine shop here.
Everyone with money acts with class then, right?
As I already mentioned, brunch cost me the equivalent of half a days salary. I paid for it myself. It was worth it.
Yeah bro I'm sure you're making $150k/year to be able to afford it
People I know who make $150k/year love to go and post on forums about how expensive their last meal was, tallied right down to the bill total including drinks
because they can afford it
so they like to delight themselves with how much they spent all tallied up together
because they can afford it so obviously it's very impressive to them
(you can't afford it. if you could you wouldn't be so amazed with how much you spent on a glass of shiraz)

Yeah, it's $10 a bottle here too if I want to drink it at home. If I want to drink it in that hotel its $42 a glass and about $150 a bottle. I guess you have to mark stuff up by a decent percentage when you've spent half a billion dollars building your hotel.
I obviously have no idea what he drank. But i have had australian shiraz from 5 dollars a bottle to 50 dollars for the bottle. And You can spend more then that without too much trouble if you pick the right year for the region. So your comment is actually as totally worthless as his was.

Well they have to boast to someone, isn't that right Obibun.
Where is Aus? Its a big place. Some of its good wine, and plenty of it is not.
I find most people who make a lot of money don't boast at all
Hell, half of them if you saw them walking down the street you'd never be able to tell
they certainly wouldn't bring themselves to tallying up how much they spent on brunch and to tell other people about it, if it was as insignificant a cost as they claim.

Bit more than that. I worked it out based on 365 days, not working days.
wait so that really happens? i was just kidding, i didn't think juggs was actually right about that
the more you know, i guess
and yeah, i need permission from my boss. but not to leave the country.
Can't remember exactly where it was from and which year, it was one of the cheaper ones on the list, they have wine up to $20,000 a bottle but of course that's French. It was a decent drop though that I suspect might be in the $15-25 a bottle range in the local bottle shop.

So you are aware of the exorbitant price, yet are willing to pay it anyway? I can understand this logic when it comes to cuisine, but wine? You can generally expect to pay approximately 2-3x the retail cost of a bottle at any restaurant, including those in other countries, yet you are so retarded that you would spend 15x the retail price? Fail.
Also, brunch is for couples and should only take place on Sundays.
i think he meant to have a holiday, not to leave the country. Like "hey i am gonna be away for three weeks" needs permission. Not where he is actually going for said 3 weeks.
Let me use myself as a comparison here.
I fuck hot women all the time. Sometimes I show pictures of these hot women. I'm a baller.
Now let's say you had money. Sometimes you tell people you have money, show them nice things.
What I don't do is tally up the amount of blowjobs I've had, combined with the total number of times I've had sex, for a running total of how baller I am, right down to the numerical value, because people who talk shit like that tend to be full of shit.
Along the same reasoning, someone who tallies up what they spent on brunch (someone who even remembers it down to the dollar amounts and costs of everything) is clearly not able to afford it. I can afford a McDonalds Big Mac Value meal, but I couldn't tell you what the fuck it costs. $5-7? Who knows.
The simple fact is that when something becomes affordable the human mind stops caring about the cost. It's only when things are expensive do we remember exactly how much they were.
ergo you're full of shit broseph

You would find the same applies to me if you knew me, but putting this stuff up for a bunch of invisible internet nerds who I will never meet, for my own entertainment, is a different proposition altogether. Seems to be working so far.
by the sounds of your knowledge you probably had crap. Shiraz pretty much gets better the further west you go (which is true of the bulk of aussies wines with a few exceptions. Like you can get a good pinot that isn't that far west. In fact the only good wine that comes from tassie is a few of the pinots. The rest is rubbish) and you also want a few years on it. So the good shiraz is from Western Australia and 8-12 years old.
You pay for the surroundings, the view and the atmosphere, so yes, i'm willing to pay. And I was there as a couple. 3 couples actually. And Sunday is a work day here, Friday is exactly the same as Sunday is where you live, i.e. the religious holiday (The Muslim Sabbath equivalent) and the day where everyone relaxes at the pool / beach or goes for a nice brunch. Zat OK for ya?
