£166m for the next euro millions.
What would you do with the money? I think if I was a phsycic or a time traveler, this'll be the one moment I choose to reveal myself.
(, Wed 6 Jul 2011, 17:37, 92 replies, latest was 15 years ago)
A £166 million contract on Rupert Murdoch for a start.
Or maybe buy a country. That'd be fun.
(, Wed 6 Jul 2011, 17:39, Reply)
Nah', that's a bit silly, because Rupert Murdoch can go "No, I'll give £166.00001m to go and kill [you] instead"
If you want to take out a contract on someone, best make it someone not as rich as you... you could probably do Katy Price in and get change though.
(, Wed 6 Jul 2011, 17:41, Reply)
I wouldn't waste £166m on killing anyone, no one is worth that much dead to me.

Can you by an island for that much?
If so I'll buy an island and declare a sovereign state. Quixotia has a nice ring.

"Island Man With Awesome Facial Hair" is too long, I don't think anyone would recongize it internationally.

The Isles of Awesome would be sweet though

Nope, it's Quixotia
you can visit if you can pronounce it. That'll be the first test in the long ans stringent immigration requirements, well for men any way, wimmins will have a simple test.

Tell you what
You, and you alone, can call it The Isle of Awesome. And I think I might let you be commander in chief of the army.

Buy a few new houses, new cars, get nice furnishings, put a million in a current account for impulse purchases, get an iPhone, go on holiday.
Thats not all but It would be what I'd do first

how many old houses do you currently own?

Well none. My parents have their house, obviously, and my parents mid wales caravan.

You're too young at 'sixteen' to hold property

I would obviously let my parents have a few million for themselves, they could buy one each.
It would still be like living in my own house.

If I won, I'd imagine I'd feel quite embarrassed about having that amount of money having not earnt it.
I reckon there would be more satisfaction in giving money away to people and worthy causes, than there would be buying fast cars and trinkets that I'd never fully appreciate.
(, Wed 6 Jul 2011, 17:43, Reply)
Yeah but you would buy a shit load of new toys and get cunted first right?

(, Wed 6 Jul 2011, 17:44, Reply)
I don't know how much you could expect to earn in interest from an invested 166million
A fair income I'd imagine, probably to the point where bar the odd thing, you'd make more in a day than you'd ever likely needs/want to spend in a day.

Of course, I'd get a fancy car and some new toys, but I'd have more fun getting Monty the George suit and making him wear it for the night whilst DJ'ing.
(, Wed 6 Jul 2011, 17:47, Reply)
I'd probably wipe out one of the more easier-to-fix deseases, is there anything that could be cured for, say, £75m ?
I wouldn't go after any of the big names, like Aids or Cancer, something small that could be treated with drugs rather than operations, I donno, do people still get Shingles?

so which good causees are getting helped first?

I honestly don't know Captain.
Probably family and friends.

OK, so that would be a part of it
Id like to live somewhere nice, though and take people on photography tours.

Oh yeah! and I'd have my dead media lab - it's got a darkroom where I can print and process all sorts of old photo stuff (I'd mix my own chemicals for fun) and computer systems which would be able to read any digital imaging media. ref. Bruce Sterling

Oh, I don't know, something about breasts

You could buy Nottingham Forest
And then close them down. That would annoy Darth.

I'd buy B3ta
Reintroduce the scoring system for gay jibes, and assign real-life rewards/punishments. First person to get a 10 gets a million. Everyone who gets less than a 10 loses an essential part of their anatomy.

I think I would pay a lot of people to sleep with other people, I'd want video proof of it happening, but wouldn't really watch it, just make sure it actually happens.

Buy BGB a private candlelit dinner with Jeff Bridges.
Buy Rswipe a lifetime supply of Diet Coke, on the condition she lets her trainee eat bacon again.
