to think that you shouldn't pay for everyone's dinner except one person's?

[Hullygully]

Even if that one person is really rich?

Just because you're exceedingly rich, it doesn't mean you don't ever deserve a treat or a present or to be spoilt by someone else. Because if it did, you'd never buy your rich relative a present on the basis that they could afford to buy it themselves, and that way madness lies.

100% of posters are 95% less likely to be more better looking than me Hully. So yes. Or no.

Well, mine had an Ikea throw in it, definitely not candlewick.

wtf is a candlewick photo? Do you mean a bedspread type of thing?

... So some people went out to dinner and someone paid for everyone except the rich bloke?

Very rude unless the payer and rich bloke have a separate understanding. Even then, it should have been handled in such a way that no one else was aware of it. Distinct lack of class.

Mind you, I did once go on a pub crawl with some friends and this woman tagged along uninvited. She'd nicked about 50 quid off me a week or so beforehand, so when it was my round I bought one for everyone except her. And made a big thing of it too.

It is rude, very rude indeed.

I will pay for you and you and you and you..but not you. I don't like you enough.

Cringe.

5% of posters are likely to disport themselves upon the candlewick whilst their understanding hubby turns a blind eye. Think on.

I miss candlewick. You could pluck the bits of sticky-out thread from it and interrupt the flow of the lines. Was fun.

Or play labyrinths.

I am more of a cashmere girl myself...

why were they always orangey?

Ours were blue

or dirty white

Mine was a raucous pink. Vibrant, it was.

They were always pink. Always.

What about those silky counterpanes? All staticky.

Bella did you live in some sort of swanky desert gaddafi tent or what?

yy orangey-pinky

nylon sheets.....

Shush Hully.

YANBU. Cater for one, cater for all, pay for all, pay for all. Tis the law.

Even if it sticks in your throat if they're loaded and don't even think to do likewise at some point (in a fabulous place I couldn't possibly afford).

Depends on the reason IMO. I have a friend who constantly says she has given up smoking then bums fags off me all night if we go out. If a group of us go out to smoke, I will happily give everyone except her.

In my limited experience, the richest people are often the tightest, and perhaps the one who didn't get their dinner bought never buys dinner for everyone else. Or usually insists on splitting the bill down to each ice cube unless they've had a Mixed Grill in which case they'll want to split it equally. Or maybe they smell really bad and they want to discourage them from coming out. Or maybe they just don't like them.

I need to get new friends

Only come acrss candlewick in a hotel in Blackpool; 'twas cream, not pink, blue or orange - not even orang ey.

What rhymes with orange?

porange according to QI

I know exactly what Bella means - Hully is lovely.

So lovely that I almost want to write luffly :o
