No Rock And Roll Fun

"WE HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED WHAT YOU ARE; NOW WE'RE JUST HAGGLING ABOUT THE PRICE": We've often wondered exactly where the point came when you had more money than sense. What would it look like? Now we know, it looks like 72 year old Dickie Lugner paying half a million quid for a date with Geri Halliwell.

When we first saw the headline 'Geri paid £500K for a date' we did at first think 'Blimey, where did she get that kind of money?'; when we found out that was what she was charging, we were even more puzzled. We don't know how Lugner made his money, but someone who has so grossly overpaid for something which has the going rate of a bag of chips and two snakebites clearly doesn't have a great deal of financial nous.
