    Fvck Kerry or Cork:- Australia where there's an actual benefit to having your house near the coast.

    (I mean why Kerry or Cork:- so you can watch the sea getting rained on??)

    I'd buy a house for about 200,000. Then I'd let my cats live there, thereby reducing the value of the two adjacent houses.

    So I get those at a knockdown price. I'd repeat until the whole row of houses is full of cats.

    Then I'd take all of the cats and release them at Donnybrook Church. Clean up the houses and sell them on for a few milion.

    i'd buy a gram of coke and a bottle of vodka, and go to work to see how ****ed i could get before getting sacked.

    the change i would use to buy a modest apartment in amsterdam [far away from the nasty horrid bits of amsterdam - just a simple place in the west side of the town]

    i'd also buy a place in dublin, preferably in or around portobello. with the money i'd make from renting out whichever one i was not living in at any particular time i'd be able to live simply and inexpensively and have a nice time walking around the streets while everybody else is in work and drinking cups of tea.

    I'd buy 1 millions worth of "money" and then split the "money" up into smaller bits of "money" and buy lots of different "things" with them.

    Called a flow rider, basically an artificial wave. There are only about 3 in the world and they are a bunch of fun :).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭Nala


    I'd have a MASSIVE drinking bender.

    Then I'd buy a couple of houses. A big one for myself somewhere semi-rural with lots of fields. And some very good horses. And something smaller to rent out.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭Binomate


    A plane ticket out of Ireland would be enough for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    I'd buy Roy Keane for 11 weeks, tie him to a tree and kick the shít out of him daily.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭ferdi

    I think I'd buy normal sized house but on a lot of land. It would be nice to step out the back naked. Not that I actually want to do that. But I like the idea that I could if I wanted to. ;)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Mmmmm, a million euros, huh?
    I would buy a house worth 450k, outright, then I would start my own event management company. I would give some money to my family too though, and I would invest about 50k incase the business didn't work out.

    3 in the world, you sure? That one looks like its sponsored too..

    Anyway, theres one up in the National Acquatic Centre, Abbotstown, Dublin.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,598 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    I'd buy 5 two bed luxury apartments in certain areas in Canada and watch my investment sky rocket in value.

    Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 140 ✭✭Noobsaibot21


    Easy. I would buy ¬1,000,000.00 in CASH and then get myself:

    A Ferrari 512BB[HTML]http://carsandtrains.com/diecast_king/kyosho/ferrari_512bb_bk2.jpg[/HTML],
    A nice house near the best arcade in the world,
    An amuzing alarm clock.

    People seem to have an over-inflated idea of how much money 1,000,000 earth eurons is actually worth.

    You certainly couldn't buy a big house in Ireland for it, and as for buying and flying your own plane - forget about it.
    In Dublin you MIGHT be able to use a million to buy a semi-d on the northside somewhere. I wouldn't reccommend giving up work though.

    With 1 million in my pocket, I'd leave immediately for a proper country.

    People who think you can buy a big house with a lot of land, or run your own aeroplane. When in doubt, read again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 137 ✭✭wexhun


    I'd buy a spidercatcher with an extra long handle to catch the spider that is standing in the doorway trapping me in this room for half the night, so I could go to bed and stop sending in silly posts to this site!:eek:

    Which poster said they would buy a big house with a lot of land? Sorry just wondering who you are talking about.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,208 ✭✭✭✭aidan_walsh


    €1,000,000 Quick-pick, please. You'd be bound to win something off it...

    Pighead hopes you'd have some change left over to buy a pair of rollerskates.Because once the 11 weeks was up its guaranteed that Roy the Boy would kick your fat Piggy Arse until it reached seven shades of blue.You have been warned Pigman 11
