If its good enough for Headie One and Chip and Nines it's good enough for me

Be funny if Eden Hazard drinks it

Perhaps he’d get a kick from it.

They should do a Hazardous Ball Boy version.

 

[dickythorpe]

An "Andre" version

 

[MrSwerve]

I fell in to the hype and bought a bottle last April/May, it’s quite nice stuff, but absolutely lethal. Managed to finish the best part of a bottle on one hot sunny evening in the garden, just drinking it with ice. I’ve now been banned from the stuff by the misses. :lol:

You could paint a turd gold and that bellend would like it

 

[dickythorpe]

How much did they pay Floyd?

 

[Dr. Winston]

Stick a gold wrapper on it, get some airhead to pose for a few photos on Instagram and millions of idiots will pay £30+ for a bottle of something no better than a £15 bottle of Aldi French Grain.

Nice work if you can get it.

Feel like that sums up the world right now pretty well.

Fair play to the lad for exploiting the world's stupidity, he's far from the only one as you say.

I think it's fair to say that two boys from Bonymaen might not have had the backing to build a business like that so quickly, but good luck to them. There's so much cash in the premium booze market these days that who knows how big they'll get.

Absolutely and I'd say it's natural for people's response to their success to come from a place of jealousy. As you say, they were likely only able to start and sustain the business because of Papa Morgan's money, but I have a lot of respect for them being willing to make their own way. How many other kid's of wealthy parents are content to join the family business, or just live off the inheritance? I can't imagine running the business is easy, so good on him for not taking the easy option.

I earned this body, and I built this temple with nothing more than some elbow grease and a little can-do attitude and yes, a large inheritance from my father, Earl Goodman.

Truly a rags to riches story...

They paid Floyd 80k
