Renting and furnishing a new apartment. Either that or a trip home at Christmas. Probably the latter.

I did receive a windfall of about that amount not long ago, spent it all on electronics, clothes (including 1,500 on a Crombie overcoat which I have worn twice) whiskey and wine. When it was all gone I actually felt like a criminal, such was my buyer's remorse. I'm still not over it come to think of it.

Gun club membership, a course in gun-manship (gun handling, shooting & sh!t like that) & a gun... could be a useful skill/thing to have over the coming years.

Some new maids and servants, the ones here are a disgrace.

Plus we ran out of clay pigeons this morning so father ordered them to sit on the machine which flung them into the air so we could shoot something.

We had a chuckle about it on the way back to the mansion before we realised we had nobody to make us a cup of tea. I nearly lost my monocle at the absurd situation we had landed ourselves in.

Father was furious so he shot the groundskeeper in the foot to cheer himself up.

On sale in America from today, in a month or two orders will be allowed internationally.
They are going to sell like nothing ever before.

Then I'd pick it up again

You could get a nice vintage Anniversary for that money with change left over. Or maybe a nice 6120.

Definately a pint or two for Duggy. After all, he is living with a lunatic...

Spend 4k or so on travel and liquorice.

Alternatively, donate to a Parkinsons foundation for research. It's a small amount in the context of how much they need but it's something. It would be more of a noble cause if it wasn't based almost entirely on how much I like,and sympathise with, Michael J.Fox, and also how obscenely hot Anne Hathaway was in that movie that she has Parkinsons in.
I'm changing my answer to a night with Anne Hathaway... Parkinsons sufferers will understand.

Actually, no, Michael J. Fox wins this, irrespestive of how hot she is. Yeah... A night with Michael J.Fox...
