    euro?

    I see the Late Late Show have a prize of 10k tonight, if you won €10,000 what would you spend it on?


    I think I'd blow it on a trip to Thailand or maybe Australia, 3-4 weeks of sunshine.

    10,000...it's quite a lot...

    Yeah just to have 10.000 to blow with no guilt attached, I would love to go on an Antarctic cruise and buy a 3 grand racing bicycle.

    I'd give you a Euro for every post you made ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    That would be my Cheltenham week paid for :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 513 ✭✭✭x_Ellie_x


    I'd use the money to immigrate to another country, Australia or New Zealand, maybe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,985 ✭✭✭Dunny


    Dunno, get a life?

    Why is someone in NY watching the Late Late Show?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    I would do what every patriotic Irish person should do.

    Put it in the bank.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,110 ✭✭✭Sarn


    Add it to my money pile, to roll around in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,846 ✭✭✭Fromthetrees


    A new pair of socks and Thailand. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,581 ✭✭✭uberwolf

    I'd give the 10K to my parents, as a thanks for their support over an issue of mine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    I'd bring my parents on a trip of their choosing to any destination in the world. They love travelling and took us to many wonderful places when we young, those were happy memories so I'd like to experience that with them again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 587 ✭✭✭stacexD


    Car, 1k to the parents, 1k to the brother and then if they haven't raised them AGAIN by then... college fees

    Not going over, just going to the pub for the week, drinking pints like it was the eve of the famine and betting money like it was going out of fashion :D

    5 weeks, 3 days, 15 hours and 30 mins to go or if you prefer just 38 sleeps to go :P

    yeah I like your style, that's what I'd do the Antartic cruise and for me a 3 grand Specialized Stumpjumer mountain bike.

    I even have the bike picked, its just to much to spend on a bicycle, I borrowed my brothers one and its almost motion for free, but he works for the ESB and is paid like a footballer.

    Camper Van.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,653 ✭✭✭Ghandee


    Boy, ten grand......that's a tough one.

    Ghandee's answer:
    I'd like to blow it on a good holiday I suppose, drug fuelled gambling session in Vegas, a cruise around the Caribbean (or south Pacific), mountains of weed and shrooms in the Dam, route 66 in a Ferrari


    Ghandee's wifes answer:
    Bathroom needs painted, tiles in ensuite need replaced, hall and landing need painted, pot bellied stove for lounge, new cooker........


    I'm just so frickin predictable, its mad Ted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    Classic Coke and Hookers party.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭EverEvolving


    I would go to my favourite restaurant and order everything I wanted on the menu and not even look at the price the rest would buy me a new car that would de-mist the windows in under 10 minutes :o I know how to live baby...

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,992 ✭✭✭✭gurramok


    I'd donate the money to about 350 kids who desperately need to look good on their communion day, after all they need the dosh as the welfare has taking it away from them :mad:

    Poor Dorans Pride died at Cheltenham in 2003 when he fell. It was a disgrace he was asked to race at the age of 14, should have been out in a field retired. Still makes me angry :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    New car, or college.

    Hmmmmmmm......

    Trust me, you are not a jinx :D But if you can give me your selections for this year's Cheltenham Festival I will make sure to avoid them :p

    If I got 10k I'd defo send me folks on a nice holiday, it's their 40th wedding anniversary this year....plus it might catapult me from least favourite to most favourite child :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 825 ✭✭✭Kev.OC


    Pay off the loan on the motorbike, give a few bob to the parents, and the rest would come with me to Canada in May.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,398 ✭✭✭whatdoicare


    Pay off my debts, give a bit to the folks for a holiday, put the house up for rent - then get the heck out of this country before they turn off the internet!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,621 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller


    Poland & Ukraine!

    Send my parents on a cruise, as they would love to go on one.

    Put €1000 in the bank for my first godchild who is due to be born in next few weeks :)

    And maybe buy a car. Nothing fancy, just something the would be good on petrol, and not cost an arm and leg to insure. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭ItsAWindUp


    Get it in cash and then burn the lot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Immaculate Pasta


    Buy a car :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 363 ✭✭Rockn


    I'd buy a mansion and a ferrari. Then I'd fly round the world in a hot air balloon followed by a trip into space with Richard Branson. I'd put the rest in the bank.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,201 ✭✭✭languagenerd


    Inter-railing around Europe! Not in the pretentious D4 way... Just travelling around as many different cities and countries as I could, I love visiting new places and experiences new cultures (+ practising languages where possible). I've only been in 6 European countries (several parts of most of them, though) so I have a lot left to see!
