Life would be oh so free travel wise without them, but they need that stability. Nicer house is always gonna be number one answer. I'd never drive again, unless I really wanted to for some reason, just hire a driver. Lots of trips and experiences, although no matter how much I had, going for a salt bae meal would never be a part of the plan, that's what commoners do with money So I guess it's just a bucket list really. And look after your friends and family. this...and to be honest any quirky place like the fat duck either. just don't get the fascination with those sorts of places.

Davkaus Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Finally gave in and checked my prize. I don't want to brag, but I only lost 10% of my ticket fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I would be employing a chef / kitchen staff. I'm craving a fry up right now, but have neither the ingredients nor the time to do it myself. How awesome would it be to just send a text and set the team running to pull breakfast together. A housekeeper would be in too, so I don't have to scrub a loo ever again, keep the house tidy, clean and organised. Getting out of the rat race would be a joy. The problem with the rat race is that even if you win it, you are still a rat. Working stupid hours to make someone who never has to come into the office richer sucks, having to pretend that I'm passionate about whatever brand of server blade or cloud storage I'm supposed to be flogging this week is joyless BS. I don't get paid enough to be passionate MF, the best you can expect at those rates is competent. Never having to learn another company mission statement or core values! OMG the joy of not having to pretend that Capita are open honest transparent and respectful or that BP hold themselves to high ethical standards. Mostly though, just take away the noise, take away the busy, star gaze, watch the sunrise, see the aurora borealis, spend time with the kids. I'm not really too bothered about stuff, for me the money would just be buying me space to breathe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my very limited cooking skills food is either one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastmix Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Ever since I was a kid (playing OutRun) I've wanted a Ferrari Testarossa Spider, so I'd probably get one of those. I was pricing one up a year or so ago and Mohamed Al-Fayed's was for sale at £125k, so it would be pocket change with 180+mil to spend. I'd also try to buy a 308 GTS Quattrovalvole, like Magnum P.I. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but Tom is tall, dark and handsome. Not short, bald and fat. You'd look like a right dickhead - wouldn't that upset you, thinking that people are thinking "look at that short, bald fat clearing in the woods getting in that nice car over there mommy"? I'm assuming based on the fact you use a forum at all that you are representative of people who use forums (i.e. short, bald and fat people) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I'd set up a bakery in town and hire all the bakers I've worked with who aren't complete words removed (there's a surprisingly large word removed ratio when it comes to bakers) on decent wages. I'd probably keep working a bit as well, then buy the normal bollocks and go on holiday a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He keeps coming up on my YouTube and my insta so he's being pushed pretty hard The worst thing is that when you watch him "cook" he can't actually do it, he doesn't know how to season (ironic given his name) and makes loads of basic mistakes but makes sure he looks flash doing it Seen some stuff about his restaurants all being shit, overpriced and losing money so I'm not sure if he's trying to constantly propel himself forward cos as soon as he stops the slide backwards will be at the speed of light 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What people are thinking says more about them than it does about anybody else. I'd be especially unperturbed if I was, as per your example, dissed by a child.

VillaJ100 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Probably a 6mil + house in the cotswolds, holiday villa probably in Italy maybe or Sardinia, domestic staff, cleaner cook etc. And probably a mechanic as i'd start a car collection.

Rds1983 Posted October 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2021 A swimming pool filled with chocolate coins so that I can Scrooge McDuck freestyle into it for a swim. Real coins would probably hurt a bit and this way I'd have a nice snack on hand if I got peckish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
