    Widow leaves $21 million to Chinese restaurant owners

    Associated Press
    LONDON ??? Think of it as a giant tip.

    A wealthy widow repaid the kindness shown to her by a family that runs a Chinese restaurant she frequented by leaving them $21 million, and a High Court judge ruled today that her will was legal.

    Golda Bechal's 1994's will said she wanted Kim Sing Man and his wife, Bee Lian, the owners of a Chinese restaurant northeast of London, to inherit her money. She died at age 88 in January 2004.

    Bechal's five nephews and nieces asked the court to declare the will invalid, claiming their aunt was suffering from dementia. They asked the judge to give the inheritance to them.

    But Judge Donald Rattee accepted the restaurateurs' evidence that Bechal, sad and lonely after the deaths of her husband and son, became like a family member to the couple.

    They went on foreign holidays together and regularly got together at their restaurant and at her apartment in Mayfair, central London.

    "It was not irrational to leave the bulk of her estate to Mrs. Man, the daughter she would dearly wished to have had, and her husband," Rattee said.

    Kim Sing Man remembered Bechal as a classy woman who "always enjoyed her Chinese pickled leeks and bean sprouts."

    You're not in America? So that 10 USD is worth, like, 2 bucks to you?

    Damn! That's true status.


    For $200 I would play "Come On Eileen" and "Dancing Queen" and sing along on a microphone, karaoke style.

    "Drunk Ballers" are my favorites out here.

    He wanted to hear something "West Coast" and handed me a $100.00.

    I guess I chose right because he walked back up and handed me another $100.00

    (Keep in mind he's paying me in poker chips - so maybe he was so drunk he fucked up?)

  • we got a $30 tip for djing last friday at the club... from a girl that digs me so maybe that doesn't count. a couple days before though, some guy left an $800 tip for one of the bartenders!

    Ahhhh, I see. Maybe it didn't seem like real money to him. Or he meant to toss you $10 chips. So poker chips are like general currency in Vegas?

  • I gave your girl a tip.

    Just the tip.

    Pretty much, inside the casino. You can't actually PAY for anything (Goods and Services...well, SOME goods and services you can, but not the kind the casino is selling to the public) with them, but you can tip with them and they never go "bad" (i.e. expire, lose value, etc..). So they do hold a sort of sub-currency position here in town.

    I know Pizza Delivery Drivers get them all the time for tips here. That pisses them off becuase now they have to turn around and go to the casino and cash them in.
