    They were talking about this on the wireless today, an idea based on the film 'Brewsters Millions'. For anyone who doesn't know the movie, the main character, played by Richard Pryor, has got to spend $30 million in 30 days. At the end of the 30 days he is not allowed to own anything. He is not allowed to give the money away nor his he allowed tell anyone about it.

    So if you were Brewster with lets say €2 million to spend in a week, and we'll disallow not telling people, what would you do? Remember, you can't own anything at the end and you cannot give the money away

    Pay off my bills ;)

    Go on a 30 day holiday, top of the range hotels/best nightclubs/best adventures. Travel around the world in luxury, 1st class all the way, pretty much just life the life style!

    That way when i get home I won't 'own' anything anyway, and I'd still have had the adventure of a life time living the highest of the high life!

    Pyror was in the remake. The original was much better.

    If I spend it, does not not mean I'm giving it away anyway?

    Brewster could only waste 5% of the money on stupid bets.
