    Ah, silly question, but good for a laugh...
    Anyway, here's for me:

    1. Guitars:
    BC Rich - Bich
    BC Rish - Warlock
    Lloyd Sword Guitar
    Gibson Epiphone SG Les Paul
    Custom Gothic Bass

    Nice big Marshal amp, not sure about which or what...

    Couple of pairs of boots.
    New jacket...
    Some new T-Shirts, new tops... Probably new pants too...

    LOADS of CD's...

    Maybe a recording studio??? biggrin.gif

    And the rest, I'd spend on drink...

    That much money? Invest in business, open a charity and treat myself to a better lifestyle.

    It's just a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it.

    Well...

    First off, I'll buy a pub and have income for the rest of my life!

    I'd buy a house - maybe in Dublin and rent it out and let the rent pay the mortgage.

    I'd help Mammy out and finish paying for our house.
    I'd then start some major re-development on it (ya I'd live at home - I really like it there)- including a totally sound proof room with space for drum kits and loads of guitars (basically room for at least 2 bands). I'd also fire some kind of recording facilities.

    Then some Guitars - definitly including a custom SG from the Gibson Custom and Art shop wink.gif I've already got a quality Marshall amp, so there's no need to buy one again. Also, some drums and a couple of basses for a full musical set up.

    I'd then look at that BMW M3 Convertable I want...

    The thing you need to remember is, you wouldn't necessarily need to spend your money, but use the POWER of your money to buy things (like colateral), so you could probably get all those things and still have most of your million! Just hope the pub does quite well wink.gif

    I've given this a lot of thought!



    All the best!

    Plus imagine the amount of tax you would have to pay!



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    heeheehee

    And here's me thinking a million!

    Well, in that case, I'd buy Eircom to have the satisfaction of sacking every member of the staff in the company (I wouldn't mind wasting that amount of money for that kind of satisfaction).

    Then I'd start with CIE - dirty, smelly cnt-flaps that they are!

    Perhaps you would need a bit more RAM than that. Isn't that equivalent to the old Amiga 500.

    Anyway if I was to get another PC I would build one with several processors running in parallel, 1GB RAM, GF3. Make that a few more PCs. Actually I would start my own computer company. Coz even if I buggered up, I would still have cushion to fall back on.

    And of course (I like how you think Dav), pay Mom back for 21 years of scrounging. Eventhough I gave my parents 21 years of love, which doesn't come cheap. AFAIK the going rate for parental love is a couple of grant per annum tongue.gif

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,595 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    hmm, well first I'd buy a nice tropical island. Build a nice big mansion on it, a nice racing track, get all my favourite cars and have 'a jolly good time'.

    I'd also buy Cradle Of Filth, and a number of other bands, so I'd have my own record label. More income that way.
