So I went to have a coffee on a yacht, with one of my old friend, Natascha de Fournier, half French, half Slavic, totally pretentious. She was married to Ali Baba. Both were 'business people' although no one knew what business they got up to... and no one really cared.
Halfway through coffee Ali Baba's multi-million business partner, FatCat shows up. It is as if Elvis was in the building.... well on the yacht. People went mad. Who did guy think he was? Madonna? No... but everyone else did. Waiters brought him drinks, his entourages cooed, girls wanted to kiss him (where? the man was as hairy as an ape. Couldn't he afford a back-wax?) and I sat there, bored and unimpressed.
'BabyBusinessMan, this is FatCat' said Natascha de Fourinier.
'Nice to meet you' I said, although it wasn't. He smiled. He didn't seem to bad. Maybe I over-judged.
'BabyBusinessMan, show your respects to my associate' began Ali Baba 'shake his hand again. Kiss it even. Bow. Bow down to my associate.'
'Sorry. Unless you're God, I don't bow. But I do shake hand's though.' And shook it. I could have also pointed the finger. But why do that when I was already so much classier than them? Who says you can buy class?

Now... how do I get off a yacht that is sailing in the middle of the ocean. LMS is only 5 km away... maybe I can put on a designer life-jacket and swim?
