Eddie Irvine, the notorious Irish Formula One driver (best known for being socked in the mouth by Ayrton Senna whereupon he replied, “Well, THERE’S a few quid coming!”) was constantly surrounded by beautiful women, and he would say to anybody without any arrogance or shame, “If I didn’t have any money, not one of these girls would ...” well you can fill in the rest for yourself.
