From Russia with Pat

posted: 2004-01-10
Random act of week happened to Pat Sharples. On his way home after a 4am exit from Kailco, Pat tripped over the large amounts of red shag pile outside Les Caves.
Sensing the opportunity for some free hospitality Pat when and put on his only non Salomon/Oakley clothing. Something called a 'suit and tie'. Finally with a top hat replacing his beanie Pat set off to schmooze his way inside. Considering the large number of armed bodyguards patrolling the door it wasn't long before Pat was sipping champagne and nibbling canapÈs with Putin's deputies. By 8am the kopeck* had dropped but instead of being bundled into the boot of the nearest bullet proof hummer Pat was just shown the door. Pat has now joined Rob as Courchevel's new 'oligarch'. *the penny equivalent of the ruble.
