    Bum around the world, especially the sunny countries. Stop now and again to give a hand to someone at something / anything just so I wouldn't feel like a complete waster!

    Talk to people, get to know the locals. Laugh. Read. Swim naked in the ocean and let the sun dry me. Sleep under the stars now and again just because I could. Ride horses. Actually, ride horses naked under the stars just because I could. Drink some, shag lots. Try to leave friends in my wake, or at least no enemies. Visit all the great archaeological sights of the world. Find a small Greek island to retire to when I got too old to do all that, and fade into the sunshine of my old age.


    Feck ya, faceache, now I'm depressed! :(

    I'd sit around watching porn and eating cookies all day. Ah, the good life.
    Wet / dry?

    I'd rejoice in the fact that the replicator had finally been invented.

    Unlimited money? Where to start?

    Design and build my own house
    Have my own restaurant, pub and music venue.
    Travel the world with my camera and come back with great shots wildlife, landscapes and people.
    Open my own art gallery
    Start my own record label

    Some non selfish stuff
    - Start a few scholarships for gifted people from disadvantaged areas
    - Be a "Dragons Den" style investor in entrepreneurs with good ideas but no funding.
    - Start a few free community projects like some football schools, non-profit music studios, rehabilitation schemes for homeless/addicts

    In non fantasy land, I'm a poorly paid disgruntled research scientist.

    If money wasn't an object and I didn't rely on my wages every month I'd open a cake shop. It's my dream.

    Precisely!

    I've planned what I want the decor to look like and what kind of cakes I'd sell. I just need someone to fund me and some guts to not have a normal job!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    Id do..... (How has it not been said yet?) Yore Ma!

    OT,
    I'd do exactly what I do for a living. I love it.
    I'm an Engineer btw.

    If money was absolutely no Object I'd buy out Microsoft, then throw back my head and laugh as I fired everyone and built a giant rocket out of Microsoft Windows Vista installation discs and fired them into the sun.

    I'd be a cop, shave my head, workout everyday and get tattoo sleeves... I'd be the baddest cop in town!!

    I would divide my time between racing cars and doing bugger all. I’d live by a beach in some sunny country and never see a day of winter again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 891 ✭✭✭redfacedbear


    I'd like to run my own (retail type) business - I don't know what; maybe a books/music/film/coffee shop or a little arthouse cinema with little or no custom (and sociable opening hours!)

    I'm a civil servant.

    I would move to Argentina or Chile and work as a farmer. Either that or have my own vinyard. It wouldn't need to be successful, just would love the idea of working in this sort of environment where you don't work 9-5 and you don't worry about traffic, money etc etc.. Someday..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,020 ✭✭✭mang87


    I'd use my immeasurable wealth to hire a crack team of super human mathematicians to find some way of dividing by zero, thus reversing the laws of physics and bringing chaos to the universe.


    I think its plainly obvious that if I were to inherit a substantial amount of money, I'd end up being a super villain.
