          I never did the hookers and coke. I can pull a bird anyway and I don't need drugs to relieve my boredom.

            Since most of the country gets by on the equivalent of £100 a day or less, I guess you must have developed habits and spending patterns which use up a lot of your money. That's great when things are going well, but you'll hurt the most when it hits the skids.

            A lot of people who consistently get high rates start to think it's because they are intrinsically "worth" it, rather than it being an exercise in supply/demand. If every sewer in the UK broke today, tulip-shovellers would be on £1000 a day tomorrow. Nothing to do with "worth"

              Personally speaking it won't

              But I am worth it.

                Yeh sure. Coming from Glasgow, I've found it safer in the long term, to humour the delusional.

                  Just because you have feelings of inadequacy don't assume I do.

                      Pharma doesn't pay £500 a day :-( , except on rare occasion. although we're not quite in the £200-£300 league. Still that doesn't stop me being a tight barsteward with 10 years money in reserve.

                      Sometimes I which I hadn't bothered doing an MSc and just gone into financial, they seem to pay 500 a day for the most basic of skills.
                      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
