"millionaire (originally and sometimes still millionnaire[1])"
^ From French millionnaire; this spelling is still listed as a variant in some modern dictionaries such as Collins English Dictionary (1994 edition) and Random House Unabridged Dictionary (2006).

Loved this analogy. Reminds me of a well known saying my mother is fond of quoting:
"Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever." (Horace Mann)
My current occupation of tossing out unfinished projects, unused domains, and the hotchpotch of other half-ass ideas that clutter my life is all aimed at regaining a few more of those "diamond minutes"! Some days I feel like all 86400 precious seconds have slipped through my fingers while I was busy trying to achieve things

I know - and how embarrassing for me - I'd actually had a few of cases of Tescos vintage Champagne delivered on Monday afternoon (yep a very young 2006 and nobodies going to see the label) but at 66% off their shelf price - i couldn't resist treating it like lemonade.
