First thing I’d buy is an Audi RS7, then a shitload of cocaine and whiskey. If I survive the first week we’ll see what happens thereafter. if you win can me and you be buddies for the week? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminded me of a programme years ago about a group of factory workers who won big on a lottery syndicate. One guy (played by Timothy Spall) bought himself a Thai bride. She was initially a bit frigid but eventually he got her to open up and then revealed a bit more than he expected. She was very apologetic and said she hadn’t had the op yet. It shouldn’t be a big issue. He said, shouldn’t be an issue??? It’s bigger than mine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Leave my motorhome with a man to get a full refurb. Fly off to Vegas with my wife and daughter for 2 weeks and aside from a house nothing much more. Would take a voluntary job somewhere as I would drive myself crazy sat at home watching homes under the hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my clients was in the process of buying the village local.......then his wife found out. Now he has a brewery attached to his business instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper answer, it would most likely be whatever beers and ales are available from local breweries. I guess I’d have a sense of what people were drinking there beforehand and go from there. I’d include a handful of mainstream beers and ciders. It wouldn’t be a proper food pub. Sausage rolls, pork pies and the like - maybe. I’m slightly torn between the pub being in a more rural village setting or a town/city centre. I suppose if I had the sort of money that could be won tonight, I’d try both. Thinking about it, I’d look at buying the Brittania in Aston, get that done up and restored. It could be a great match day pub. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOTTI-THE-GOD Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Quite simply i'd buy where i work and bulldozer it, I'd look after the few people I actually like working with the rest can quite frankly go to hell, I'd follow that up with buying a Villa in Orlando.

tomav84 Posted October 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 12, 2021 me and my other half have talked about it before and got into a row about how much i'd give her were i to win it (she doesn't play it but i do, and we're not married, so legally she's entitled to sweet FA). i dread to think if i actually did win the lot the rows it would cause between the two of us considering the 100s i've paid in lottery tickets over the years and she hasn't. i think giving her a good chunk to share with whatever family she likes is pretty generous of me to be honest.... but once we've finished squabbling we'd probably open a cat rescue centre. plus do shit like ticking off all NFL grounds, the coast to coast US drive, etc wouldn't buy fancy cars...just lumps of metal that take me from A to B as far as i'm concerned. never understood why people buy sports cars. totally impractical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
