Rich twats being twats: Robbie Williams vs Jimmy Page

[SpookyFrank]

Hadn't heard about that before - apparently there are around 1,000 buried around London, in some cases posing an obstacle when the owners decide they want to carry out more excavations, all might be very confusing for future archaeologists.

The bizarre secret of London’s buried diggers

Didn't realise it was so many. But then I forget just how many stupidly rich people there are tbh.

Tower House is of historical, archaeological and architectural importance. Page is well know to have put a lot of money and effort into its preservation. Not sure why Williams was granted permission to build a swimming pool that close to it, he should have been told to do one.

Because the council planners are spineless shits that fellate the rich.

If you lose a planning case you can keep appealing for as long as you've got money to burn IIRC. And the local authority has to keep paying its end of the court costs.

Building an underground swimming pool serves no real purpose besides burning money.

And possibly impressing some hapless cunts that come to gawp.

I think they should fight a duel to the death.

Surely once you're that rich it's only possible to hang out with other rich twats who also have swimming pools in their basements.

This was quite amusing from The Guardian:

But the really confusing behaviour is that Williams also dresses up as Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant, “wearing a long-hair wig, and stuffing a pillow under his shirt in an attempt to mock or imitate Mr Robert Plant’s beer belly that he has acquired in his older age”. Given that Page and Plant themselves don’t get on, this is a curious taunt, unless its underlying message is, “I can’t even remember which of those two old has-beens you are”, in which case, what a burn.

Has beens. I must have missed the global cultural phenomenon that was the last Robbie Williams album.

I reckon they make "friends" with a few plebs expressly for this purpose.

I reckon they'll get adjoining doors in their basements and meet up subteraneally for tea at 4pm every afternoon.
