    If I hadn't had a big diamond already I would have gone for a cheap semi-precious stone and bought a bike instead!

    Someone in The Warehouse head office clearly has no idea.
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    Yeah, but 15 grand off, what a bargain..

    I know if I turned round and gave my wife a ring and said it was from the Wharehare, she'd get that "hands on her hips, What the fuck you cheap bastard" look in her eyes.
    She'd then be forced to rant on for hours about how much I spend on "that bloody bike", and I'd be forced to look like I was listening...

    Wow, they must be getting desperate. In the flyer I received it was only $5k off, and the $10k was like half price.

    Marketing fuck up.
    The folks who will spend that much on jewellery WON'T step into a red shed.

    Still like the new words to the warehouse jingle,after buying said ring will be sung as follows-"the warehouse,the warehouse-where everyone gets a blowjob"
    Hello officer put it on my tab

    Don't steal the government hates competition.

    So do I get my money back if the marriage fails?
    Obviously I'd have my receipt!

    I could understand rings up to a couple of grand selling there. But honestly? If you were spending 20k on a ring, would the warehouse be on your places to visit?
    The Wharehouse has gone middle class ... but no, not the place for an engagement ring ....

    Next thing they'll be selling cheap Harleys ...
