    Top 5 things.. lots of money

    Move to Nashville

    Be able to send amber to a specialist private autistic school

    Create a record label who only sign decent musicians and who wouldn't churn out the same old disposable crap just because it sells

    Open a music school which is purely scholarship based so people who have a talent get the same chances - rich or poor

    Set up an organisation which is there to ensure that all parents with special needs children have a central point where they can get support, information help and advice on everything. From dealing with government agencies, benefits, education, therapies, social services etc. All of the stuff you don't know unless you find someone who has been through it themselves.

    Aww thanks sally, that's sweet of you to say. I wish I could win the lottery too, make it the euromillions and I'd employ the bulk of MSE to run everything I'd want to do. We'd cover everything from healthcare, support for the elderly, cancer drop in centres for screening and care (ending the postcode lottery for treatment) education, funding for the talent of this country, not just music but sport, science etc. Too much goes to waste because this country doesn't invest in the young. I could go on all night :rotfl:

    All sounds good Toto. I do sometimes wonder if we all genuinely believed we could make a difference we actually would make a difference. I think we'd all want those things but talk ourselves out of being able to change things. Does that make sense?

    I mean I could (and did:o) work out a whole new system of government etc and have a much better world but my study of History tells me different.

    The human race is so weird we have all this capicity for greatness but waste it so much.
