Are some things worth splashing out on?

Question

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1043021/Extravagant-Jonathan-Ross-spends-40-000-marble-bathtub.html

It doesn`t look all that comfortable from the outside. I would need several friends to go in with me or i would be lost in it.

Do you think every home should have one?

Answer 1

thats the thing with worth and value

theres often a big difference between the two

i mean, the BBC think mr ross is worth £18 million

but is he valuable?

as an alternative to fossil fuels, maybe, but otherwise no

Answer 2

WHAT LUXURY I would'nt mind having a bath in it

I dont think every home could not afford one

Answer 3

My mum always says buy cheap buy twice. My house does just fine without a marble bath however

Answer 4

marble is renowned for being slippery and cold, will he be so enamoured about his 'bath' when the local fire brigade are called out on an emergency to remove his nuts from the gold plated tap (or should that be juicer - personally, if was the plumber I would have installed the juicer where the tap should be)

Imagine the headlines 'J Ross - now a true bubble and squeak man '

Edit: can't stand the sod - but, I pray each and every day that I would read that headline - alas I fear it will not come to pass

Answer 5

It looks like an oversized vomit bowl tbh, so no

My bath is hand crafted from the finest avocado coloured plastic, made by B&Q. Its 1970's vintage and should be a museum piece.

Answer 6

he must have more money than sense and just spends for the h**l of it.

Answer 7

I hope he has a spray attachment on it so he can wash his greasy hair with a bit of L'Oreal, while he's sat there admiring his reflection in those shiny gold taps.

Sour grapes I know but is he really WORTH it???

Answer 8

Being a bit of a short @rse I would need a ladder hand crafted from budgie bones to enable me getting in.

I reckon it would be somewhat chilly on the derriere also.

Bet you couldn't use Cillit Bang on that either Jo. Just that E-cover stuff which is basically whipped water and lemon juice.

Answer 9

40 grand to him is like £100 to the likes of us....His choice really. I'm sure sure i would be equally extravagant if i had his bank balance...

Answer 10

Answer 11

You are. :)

Answer 12

So that's where my £11.61 a month licence fee goes. I quite like J.R's show - he's good, but he's not *that* good.

Answer 13

only with the right companion.

Answer 14

That bloke gets on my t i ts.
