£170,000,000 anyone ?

[Smokin Joe]

165 million to cancer research and the remaining five million for myself and Mrs SJ. No one else would get a farthing.

Is it too late to buy a ticket?

There's a big area down the road here that used to be a Marsh. I'd buy that and re-wild it. Donate the result to the local Wildlife Trust. With their help I'm sure there would be some dosh left over to do the same somewhere else.

Oh - I might save a bit for myself and have a super duper new bike.

A lot of people say they'd quit work with that sort of money. I wouldn't, but when it inevitably gets privatised I'd buy my place of work.

Once the winnings were in my bank, I'd quite work immediately. However I'd still work my notice period as that's fair. I'd enjoy going in to the office with a £1000 suit on

Actually I would love to do this, offer my boss some money for the company & promptly sack 2 people before handing a wedge of cash to the other workers so the could decide whether they wanted to work or not.

Why only spend £1000 when you have 170m?

I'm not sure a more expensive suit would make me look any better! ok I could stretch to 3 grand if it's a nice colour

 

[Drago]

T54, Alvis Stolly, a Saracen, a Snatch Land Rover, a big field. A new shotgun. Oh, and a Huey and flying lessons. A crate of Laphroaig. A huge amp for my new bass guitar. That's me sorted.

Then I'd made a massive donation to a local charity that is very close to my heart.

I quite like my job, think I'd carry on, otherwise I might have to spend more time with my wife.

If she reads this it might no longer be something that need concern you

Not an issue. With 170m you easily find another (younger) model

Bill Gates promised to leave his kids just enough for a comfortable middle class lifestyle but no more. Warren Buffet lives a comfortable middle class lifestyle.
I could live a comfortable middle class lifestyle as long as I had Felicity Kendall as a neighbour

True but as far as l know he doesn't.....have 170 m. so l hope she doesn't read his words !

I would give my brother and sisters enough to comfortably retire on as we are getting towards retirement age. Give my kids enough money to follow their dreams, both are sport orientated so would be interesting to see what they would spend it on. I have 2 main hobbies,Latin/ ballroom dancing and Cycling and a past hobby was sailing. so I would build a magnificent ballroom and put on really decent dances, as I am tired of going to dances in drab village halls and school gymns. Maybe start a pro continental cycling team ( world tour would empty the bank too fast) and some yachts of various descriptions ( maybe a extreme tri-maran just for giggles) . Do loads of travelling etc.

I knew there was something odd about you but couldn't put my finger on it.
Laphroiag.....eughhh
