actually he states that the party will cost £11-15,000. The £5,000 is just on the presents for the guest children... Plainly they are mega rich or on social

Think of it as a redistribution of wealth and it's fine. (look at his garage on PH!!)

Have you looked at the link, his profile, and where he's from?

Just because he's most probably got more than £41k saved up for a house doesn't necessarily make him new money...

Very True..









But spunking up that amount of cash on a 1st birthday party does make him a vulgar, flash braggart in my opinion. And I mean that in the nicest possible way

I think it is the guys sister, the party isn't until January, it is easy to criticise and I am sure there is an element of jealousy but I try to separate that from the fact it is, whatever your means, a bit over the top for a one year olds party.

I suspect that there are a lot like it and a lot worse but it does stimulate the economy, not sure how much money you would have to have already or what kind of income to spend that much on a kids party, good luck to them, may as well enjoy it.

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree it's over the top.

But, at a guess, I'd say he's not your usual new money type of chap.

Like TDW would have us all believe.

As I've said before TDW is jealous of anyone with money.

Tbh for somebody with £500k worth of cars £10k is not actually much to spend on a party. Its all relative, that sort of cash is small change for somebody like him.

I'd be cautious if the party is in a central london hotel

I dont care if he has got loads of money but those toys are ****, he could of got this from toys r us
1 it's lego which is cool
2 they got underwater guns
3 it's got fooking sharks with massive teeth
4 lots of bits for kids to swallow





If I was some spoilt little rich kid and I got a thomas the tank engine set instead of that, old uncle abdhul would be sh1tting out parts of thomas for a week.

Perhap's it can all be put down to attempting to maintain an image! That seems to be incredibly important to some people.

Agreed. People forget images of people's wealth....but they don't forget the image of the repo men taking away all their possessions when it all goes 'nipples skyward'!

I wonder if the Bahrain royal family will invite the children of the dissidents and human-rights campaigners they have locked up?

Coming from the racist who decided that he would never use a taxi driven by a Pakistani because one brown faced taxi driver allegedly over charged him

Couldn't find our fridge the other day.Seems to have turned into a shrine of paper invites to kids parties.

Must have a nose through and see if there is one worth accompanying the wife to and doesn't involve a warehouse.

We might be going to this

if you read through the thread, he confirms in it that he is a Prince. id say its ok considering his family is worth an estimated £3 billion plus. to them its nothing but a days interest.
