    Husband wants to know more about the 'Win Miss World' option. Does it refer to winning the competition or do you acquire Miss World herself?

    I like it leftie, very amusing.

    I suppose you could say the same about the "worth a billion pounds" ? Can anyone say they are "WORTH" that much, you may have the money in your bank account ...... but that isn't the same :rotfl:

    For some reason I now want to go and wash my hair with lorreal shampoo .... but am I worth it ?:rotfl:

    Go for the billion pounds - and then use (most of) it through Water Aid or whatever to make a real difference to the lives of millions of people by bringing drinking water to their villages. Or something on those lines!

    Maybe the question should have been, "would you trade your life for someone else who had a billion pounds in order to obtain it?" Can't take the money without all the trouble that goes with it.

    I wouldn't trade anything in my life for all the money in this world! NO WAY!
    I have more blessings in my life that are NOT seen to the human eye and cannot be counted on a spreadsheet.

    Love is greater than money!

    The money for me, definitely!
    But a billion?:eek: I'd happily settle(!?) for the financial security you'd get from having just a million or two in the bank. The rest'd probably have to go to charity.

    P.S. Interesting name Morpork42, is that a Pratchett/Adams conflict going on there?!

    Certainly is, my two favourite authors.

    Stems from trying to find a username for ebay (why is the first 10 you try always taken up), so many sites so many names and only a small amount of grey matter to store them in.:eek:
  • Why isn't "getting your health back" an option? Until you develop a problem, you never think about mobility, pain etc...
    I voted for the money, because I would just love to be able to opt out of the NHS - and like someone before, I would love to give money to Wateraid, Medecins sans Frontieres, etc.
  • I'd love to win Miss World! :j

    Would I have to give her back though? :confused:
