Idle speculation
« on: May 08, 2009, 02:54:14 PM »
Tonight's EuroMillions lottery jackpot stands at £110,000,000   eeek:

Just as an exercise let's say you win! What 3 things would you do?  rubschin:

I'll go for:

i)   Sell up, move out
ii)  Pay off some friends' mortgages as well
iii) Start a charitable foundation

Off you go  razz:

Nick's 5 things for 3 would go some way to explain why he gets more than he bargains for from Tesco  ;)

Something to be said for disappearing though; perhaps not disappearing, just unavailable to certain peoples  rubschin:

1) Buy the house next door (which was built despite objections by all neighbours) and have it demolished. Demolish current house and combine the plots and build a hooge block of flats to piss off the entire village.
2) Move to warmer climate ~ The Vendee or similar. No interest in Spain (too hot for me).  Pay for the cure that the NHS will not give me (It can be purchased in France).
3) Settle large sums in Trust Funds for kids. Give £1million to lil Bruvver so that he can realise his ambition to drink himself to death ~ I expect change. Telegraph ex-wife and say "Who's sorry now?"


Equally selfish but why not?  eveilgrin:
