So I'm pretty excited peeps. My mug and info about the launch of Robb Report India have just started doing the rounds of the press and the first issue I have slaved away at for the last few months is now finally being launched. I'm being sent press releases as they're being carried by the media here. Pretty chuffed.
Wiki wiki wah wah and some cool kind of hand wave gesture foot click thing.
ME!!! and a little magazine called Robb Report
Full Version: Shameful self-aggrandizement
Nice one Govi, it sdounds very impressive. An interesting sales technique too...
Congratulations Govind.

The Florentine firm Baldi, which specializes in transforming precious metals and semiprecious stones into ravishing dream objects, has made the fantasy of bathing in a water-filled quarry a reality. For an average price of $925,000, it will extract a massive chunk of rock crystal from the Amazon and hand it over to the master craftsmen of Pietrasanta—the world-famous Italian source for marble since the time of Michelangelo—to carve into a tub that surely sets a new barometer for extravagance. The first 10-ton block was cut in two, and the initial tub was quickly snatched up by a Russian magnate. After adapting its design for the American market, the bathtub will be exclusively available in this country, beginning May 1, through Hydrology, a high-end distributor in Chicago. Each piece is unique.

It looks like a giant ashtray.
Congrats by the way! Now where's my copy?

I'm disturbed that people have fantasies about bathing in a water-filled quarry... and that they would pay $925k to do so... and that it's only a few metres in size.
Much better to spend £30k and buy this. That's a real man's water-filled quarry - 7.3 acres of surface and 142m deep.
BTW, congratulations Gov!

It's possible that the property referenced in the link above has now been sold. Apologies for any disappointment, Pete.

I would support you in your application Pete, if it was made of Kryptonite.
Govind, perhaps you can source such a creation using contacts from your ever expanding sphere of influence in the world of the fabulously wealthy?
