And who is to say he won't marry her and abscond with the funds?

This man has lived his own life in his own way, apparently bedding thousands of women. Why can't he accept his own daughter's lifestyle choice?

Im guessing its because he doesnt get his name in the newspaper that way. It is obviously a publicity stunt.

No disrespect to this Chinese bloke but what guarantee do I have that this daughter of his can do bangers and mash?

Hi Robert,
With $65 million you'll be able to employ your very own chef specialising in ALL the English delicacies.

Hi Carol

I bet a specialist chef couldn't consistently get the little burnt bits in like my missus does!

All the best

Hi Dave,

Probably not - takes years of practise.

Carol

P.S. I was hoping that you and your wife had kissed and made up by now.

P.P.S. Should it be a 'c' in practise? Too lazy to check with Mr Google.

Tongue firmly in cheek

It must be an art form - we have expensive French cast iron saucepans, theoretically indestructible - all burned to b*ggery, terminally cracked or otherwise abused...I sometimes leave little billets doux in them saying "please don't burn me"...

When I cooked, the kids used to query the food saying it didn't have the requisite number of little black bits to constitute real grub... honest! They've all left home now...god they must be born survivors...

Kiss and make up? You've got a hope...I'm not sure I actually like the woman at all, and I'm pretty sure she can't stand me...we just sit, opposite sides of the fireplace and enjoy the warmth...

We celebrated 25 years of mutual intolerance last year, and that's about as far as it goes...Although we haven't actively discussed it, (both too cowardly?), I suspect we stay together because it's (a) a financial necessity and (b) mutually convenient...on that fairly honest basis the relationship actually works...and I suspect we're far from alone in that!

All the best

Dave
