A house in the country with a huge garage/workshop next to it with a lot of different cars in. There would also be a bar in the garage/workshop where I can relax with friends and get drunk and play pool and darts.

 

I'd quit work and just work on cars all day and relax in my indoor and outdoor swimming pools (weather depending).

My biggest thing would be worried about getting bored.

 

 

So you get the house/s.

 

The cars.

 

The boat. (A nice Sunseeker for me, although I quite like those Azimut boats)

 

The foreign holidays.

 

The worry free joy of easily paying bills.

 

Nice clothes.

 

But boredom could still set in. A bit.

 

Actually, I quite like my list of purchases.

 

Another question then: How much is enough?

 

£500K, £1m, £5m, £10m, £117m?

Short answer for me... 16m.

 

If you want the long one let me know, it isn't very interesting though :D

In all truth and honesty, with that money, I'd start up a business and run it like Google. Boredom doesn't become an issue if you have great company and something to look forward to every now and then. I can make people happy with their jobs and their lifetstyle, bring jobs together and put this damn economy back where it should be.

 

Philanthropy helps too.

Would it feature a luxury Iron Bru hamper?

 

Ahh yes, glass bottles only though.....

 

Are you an Irn-Bru fan? Have you tried the delights of the Scottish variety? Not a lot of people know this but only the glass bottles are actually made and bottled in Scotland, the rest are bottled in England. You may not think this makes a difference but the English water is a LOT harsher than the Scottish water (what is this limescale you speak of?), it isn't a huge difference but it is noticeable. Glass bottles of Irn Bru are the things of legend.

 

I'd have a moat filled with the stuff, I would need to get a hold of Douglas Hogg's moat cleaner too though.

I wouldn't buy anything in particular. Although I would send the wife to work and get her to take a dump on her bosses desk..!!

 

Take a camcorder, you could get a few bob for that on certain websites.

 

Obviously you wouldn't be strapped for cash but I know you Paul, every penny counts :D

I'm not a connoisseur, but with my winnings from tonight, I'd take a first class trip up to see you one afternoon and sup the Scottish stuff.

 

And then I'd go home again.

 

I may even contribute to lunch - gotta watch those pennies you understand.

Of course, I know just the place, 3 courses £7.95. Homemade and everything :D

 

I'll get the bru ;)
