    It's all in the title, what wildly goods would you spend your greenbacks on if you didn't have to worry about the bank balance this year.

    For me it would be a one way ticket (first class) out of this mess to Sydney, Australia with no thoughts of coming back for the foreseeable future! Can't think of a happier way to spend christmas tbh. :D

    An apartment, a car, and a brand-new MacBook.

    A castle, and The Arcade Fire.

    Am I missing something? The first 2 replies included a Mac! Use your imagination people! (seriously though, are they that good?)

    I'd buy myself a nice new Audi S5 for weekdays ,an Audi R8 for the weekends. And an Audi RS6 to taxi the family around. Oh and I'd buy myself a house. Maybe a few.

    That's all very well and good, but who's going to look after it once the novelty wears off?

    The universe is for life, not just for Christmas.

    Ohh yes, i'd get one of those too just to mix things up and not have an all-Audi driveway. White defo FTW too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,917 ✭✭✭B00MSTICK


    A helicopter, if that 50-year old unemployed fella can have one, then why not.

    Some nice military grade Apache or something.

    Haven't a clue how to fly one but nice to look at.

    Few houses here and there to practice flying to, probably need an oil refinery for fuel too come to think of it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,942 ✭✭✭Danbo!


    All premiership football teams. And some sort of launcher to blast them player by player into the centre of the sun. Just so I dont ever have to think before I go for a pub lunch on the weekend, hang on, is there a match on? Or do I have to sit in said pub listening to people shouting at a TV, clapping (wtf?) at a TV, and telling me to 'shush' when the 3 absolute arseholes from RTE are analysing the match.

    [/RANT]

    Not sure where that rant came from.....

    When the novelty wears off I'll just sell it for more than what I paid for it.
