When other people win...

[mel b3]

I'd leave the lights on all night , just so the neighbours could see that I'm a right flash xxxx.

I'd spend a month in a mad world of cocaine and high class prostitutes. Then I'd come home looking like a right mess , and tell my Mrs that I'd been kidnapped, and was unable to contact her.

In reality, I'd settle mortgages and debts for friends and family, and give everyone just enough to make life a bit more comfortable.

It would cause me no end of grief if I won such a sum

I would buy Coutada 13 in Mozambique - a derelict game reserve un-loved and infested with poachers and their traps

Requires money and a lifetime of dedicated input

Not my wife’s dream and hence it is just as well I don’t win

On second thoughts, I'd dump all my deadbeat friends and family , that I've been slumming it with for years , and I'd buy myself some nice friends

Ah the old gag.

Here's one way to get rid of it pretty quickly.

It would a few evenings of similar dinner parties, but it wouldn't actually take too long..........

Meet the lucky men Clooney surprised by giving them EACH $1m in cash

George Clooney gathered his 14 closest friends - 'The Boys' - for a dinner in 2013 before inviting them to open their suitcases which each had a cool $1 million in $20 dollar bills.

Fantastic thing to do, and what a great quote from it.

'And I thought, what I do have are these guys who've all helped me. I've slept on their couches when I was broke. They loaned me money when I was broke. And I just thought, basically, if I get hit by a bus, they're all in the will. So why the f*** am I waiting to get hit by a bus?'

Ah the old gag.

"Money can't buy you happiness, but it does mean you can rent it".

Reminds me of that dreadful quote - once expressed by an acquaintance who happened to be the heir to smith’s crisps or some such outfit

He came up with two charmers

1. If if floats, flies or f*cks - rent it

2. Having money means you are part of an exclusive club - what ever you do keep everyone else out

The last of those was a sad revelation as to how the monied think

So Joe and Jesse Thwaite have won £184,000,000 on the Lottery.

Couple of things spring to my bitter and twisted mind.

1) Why on earth would you go public with news of your win?
I wouldn't even tell my wife.

2) They are delighted that they can now afford to get the roof fixed on their house.
If that is the limit of their imagination, then they should not be allowed to enter the Lottery.

Re point 1, I would never go public....unless it was the highest ever win at the time, as I think theirs is.

Re point 2, the wife said her father used to always dream of a big lottery win and regularly chatted to her about what they would do with the money and who they would help out etc, so I think her words were "I've been planning for this win for years!". I think therefore that the reference about their roof was tongue in cheek.

Lastly, what would I do with a big win. Help out friends and family, buy a large Scottish estate with a healthy Red population and travel the world.

Lots and lots of sincere overnight relationships….. wife has said she doesn’t care as long as she keeps the house and doesn’t have to do my washing any more. . Nb.go see the great wizard of Oz as I seem to have lost my imagination!

1. Build Tracy island
2. Recruit former SAS/SBS and right a few wrongs
3. Reward hard work

 

[bullet chucker]

How about buying your own super jet like Trump, then put as many fire arms you might' need in the hold and travel any where that takes your fancy?

As we are getting silly and my hearing is not what it was I’d start with 10 pairs of these in a stacked (AC/DC-like) configuration and take things from there:

Tannoy Prestige Westminster GR (Gold Reference) speakers are the crowning achievement in the Prestige range, the latest version of Tannoy's flagship loudspeaker. Westminster GR feature hand built traditional horn-loaded enclosures with the latest technological innovations in acoustical...

To be fair, I think there a quite a few 'pre-loved' super yachts, coming onto the market right now...

After making friends and family comfortable, I would buy a farm or two in Northumberland and develop the land into the premier shooting facility in the country.

A commendable and understandable vision but I fear even with double the disposable income of the Lottery winners in question it may not be enough to silence and overcome the objections of a vocal local minority and their ability to garner 100% support from the Council.

With Russian speaking crews for the most part I'm guessing.

I would spend the vast majority on beer and women, the rest I would squander.
