If you had all the money in the world and didn’t have any restrictions responsibility wise - where and how would you spend it?

In a different country, might be nice to see and experience and enjoy how it’s done elsewhere. It’s always been a bit shît here.

City is mayhem. Did it once, never again… Local pub is like ok maybe not an old folks home but it’s sedate…. Eejits going up to shake hands and say something witty to / with their favourite barman and the poor fella is trying to take orders, remember orders, give people the right change and pull the correct pints…

the best scenario is just friends and family around together in someone’s house. Whatever takeaway, drinks of choice…anyone wanting transport can book a taxi in advance…

Yeah, coke and hookers, just like any other Sunday evening.

In the past with people who aren't around no more.

Most men will come up with a bit more than going a fantasy about going to bed with their granny. And I'd wager I've been around a hell of lot longer then you.

It refers to Gerry Ryan asking a caller where he would like to be buried.

I’ve always fancied throwing a banquet. Not a dinner party… but a full on, decadent feast with giant plates of food and a roast pig and entertainment for my guests. I’d invite family and friends with rooms for everyone for the night. Think I’d need to rent a castle or stately home.

And oh so tired. Possibly there are remote tribes in the Andes haven't heard that one.

On topic, Madeira on New Year's Eve is supposed to have a spectacular firework display, and it's a lovely place as well.

At a party, and a kiss at midnight from the guy I fancy 😀

Doing it for real! Just landed in Marrakech in Morocco a few hours ago. 24 degrees in the sun, amazing....

Never been away at this time of year. Kids grown up now so no excuses. So glad we did it. Flights weren’t too expensive and it is very cheap here. I have a feeling this could become a regular thing.

The place is insane but I love it!

All the money in the World and no responsibilities?

I'd have all my loved ones, friends and neighbours over to a big party in my 14 bed manor in Kinsale; roast a few hogs, barbecue some beautiful fresh fish and ask everyone coming to bring a little something homemade to go with it all, and put a few mobile Bars out in the yard and just generally spread the wealth.

Then a huge fry up on the BBQs the following morning, while piping the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra New Years concert through the house and steaming hot tea and coffee, before wishing everyone a happy new year and leaving the clean up to a contractor while heading off to the Airport to fly First Class to the Maldives for 10 days and get the heat into the bones
