    Can you imagine the thousands of begging letters you'd get.

    So you'd need to hire a secretary to review them.
    Or failing that,hire a skip to dispose of them :p

    Why would you want to fake your own death?


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 16,186 ✭✭✭✭Maple


    quit my job. straight away. would i get bored? not a chance!
    give 500k to each of my siblings.
    pay off parents debts.
    buy a house.

    then buy a big boat and spend the rest of my days just sailing around the world chasing the sun.

    love it.

    Buy a house with a large garage for all the new cars and bikes I would buy.

    Buy the moon and then blow it up just because I can. Also could you imagine kids in the future reading in the history books about some twat who wasted a buttload of money and blew up the moon. A complete wtf moment.

    put it all in a rabodirect account, it'll earn 450000 euro in interest a year, i think i could live on that!! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 550 ✭✭✭mcauley


    God I hate RaboDirect. Purely because Sean Moncrief's "mock" sarcasm does my head in.....anything associated with him cannot be a good thing. Second thing on my list of things to buy would be a large hammer so I could bash his bald head in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,162 ✭✭✭BKtje


    I'd buy most of my m8's something, buy house, pay off debts, refund parents all money ive mooched over the years.

    Then i'd live of the interest while i worked in mcdonalds ;)

    I'd buy 1.6 billion 'penny jellies'..... from the garage across the road from me. The owner is a prick so id make him count em 1 by 1.

    Actually since we are now in the euro id buy approx 1.3 billion 'cent jellies'. Oh and id make him recount em.

    Mu hah hah hahhh!

    Oooooo, I'd take €6m and go on a crazy holiday with all me mates, buy a house and all the goodies I've ever wanted. Leave the €10m in the bank and live off the revenue.

    That or I'll fund the experiments for my ever growing army of Radioactive Irish Wolfhounds with 60's-style Ray Guns

    First on my list would be:

    Oh the childishness of it all!!!! :D

    Anyone else?

    So you want people to think you are lacking something in the trouser department? Because that's the only real reason to buy a Ferrari given our crap roads, there's nowhere in Ireland where you could get its top speed

    I share all my winnings with my hubby so like Mrs Doyle it would be €8 million. I would :
    • Give 10% to charity, the Oesophageal Cancer Foundation, Beaumont Hospital, Simon etc.
    • Get my mum a full time helper (she is badly brain damaged after a brain haemorrage 3 years ago) and get my mum and dad on holiday
    • Buy a house with my hubby in Rathmines
    • Buy an appartment with my hubby in the Paris
    • Buy a house in Portugal or Italy
    • Work parttime
    • Have children
    From the above, the money would be spent in no time!

    This is what I'd buy, a gold-plated Delorean!:
