    Lottery tickets should only be sold to people who have the imagination to know how to spend it. Thus giving those of us, who would value and make the most of any win, a better chance of hitting the jackpot.

    I'm with you on this:T

    I would buy a vulgar, ostentatious display of wealth house:D
    A white top of the range, Range Rover:D
    Holidays galore, five star & first class:D
    & dress from head to top in designer clothes & bling:D

    Damn right! The Monday morning I would hope to be laying on a white beach with clear blue seas and someone to bring me a drink when the ice melted in my previous one! :D

    Ok, I've been thinking.

    I'm having.......

    a set of stairs with joined slide (as per post 1)
    a big house to put them in
    a turret on the big house, high up, with glass round half of it and a big lock on the door. (The turret is my space you see :D)
    grounds round the big house with a stream and a little bridge
    a big chicken coop with lots of chooks
    a big room joined onto the living room in the big house reachable only by small tunnel. I will have at least 4 dogs that will have this annex room as their own private living room (but they can come through the tunnel into my living room at any time, if they fart a lot they can get banished through the tunnel again :D)
    a go-kart for my son and a private track round the grounds of the big house
    liposuction :D
    maybe a facelift :o
    a walk in wardrobe full of new (all flattering) clothes
    private school for youngest (cos she really needs extra help and smaller classes)
    I'd give various charities some money and I'd chuck my OH a tenner I suppose. :rotfl:

    *stops for breath* :D

    Oh god yes, I forgot about the plastic.
    I would have everything nipped, tucked & lifted (lifted to the max:rotfl:).

  • God, what a VULGAR thread. You all disgust me!


    *dashes off to make lottery list*
    Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?

    Has anyone here ever seen the machines that exercise for you? I once saw the strangest "gym" in the US. It was attended by sedate older ladies, and the various machines rolled, massaged and moved you.

    Essentially, they moved you and your limbs so that you were ostensibly "exercising", but you simply lay/sat there whilst bits of you were moved by the machines! I've never seen the like of it anywhere else.
