But today's theme of bemusement is people who when winning squillions of pounds on the lottery, or some such like ,then go on and choose to publicise this to the world rubschin:
It is not a requirement of accepting the money noooo:
Ok when you are in a syndicate type thing you may not have much of a choice if you are outvoted by the others but if you are a couple then why not just graciously accept the money and then go away and change you life forever.
Hopefully preventing every vulture, vagabond and desperado from contacting you again
I don't understand noooo:
-
As the latest couple in question said "There is no way you can keep this secret"
The newspapers will ferret around until they identify the place the ticket was bought and the likely town/village/area that the winners live in and the change in lifestyle will tip off "friends", neighbours, relatives and some jealous scrote among them will race to tell the Sun in return for a ?500 reward.
-
But prior to this the second largest winner who won over ?26 million is still anonymous .
If the newspaper want to waste their time trying to find them then so be it .....it doesn't mean you have to co-operate and open up your life for dissection at the earliest opportunity
-
I kept my mahoosive win a secret.... whistle:

Given that much money I wouldn't give a toss what anyone thought.

So, let's assume for a fantasy moment or two that one of us VPers was the happy recipient of a lottery win razz:
What would you do? Keep schtum and quietly disappear leaving all to wonder? Announce it and send everyone a celebratory 50p postal order?
rubschin:
-
I'd tell you all that I've won whatever million pound. I know none of you would ever dream of sending begging letters.
-
What would I do? ............................

And who are these deities of confusion who thrust this upon you?
-
I'd keep it a secret. I think we'd manage it too as we'd simply up and leave the area.
The Wench family were convinced we'd won. We are in mourning. sad24:

I wonder how many, "Hi, haven't spoken to you for ages" ::) phone calls they are going to receive now, bastard vultures.
-
I'd call 'em. redface:
Why do people email you out of the blue, request your news and then never get in touch again?

They're not answering the phone sad32:

Stuff the money, not that I'm saying a couple of hundred grand wouldn't come in handy like, but quite frankly, I'd rather be skint and reasonably content rather than go slithering around there cadging and begging.

Perhaps because they never get an answer from you whistle:
