    I would buy stuff for people and have parties in big houses with free booze and I'd travel the world.

    And I'd fund my own business.

    Piss off out of dear aul Eire for starters. A nice little villa in the Mediterranean maybe. Livin' the life of a banker. (sorry, i just felt really tempted....)

    -Pay off outstanding debts.
    -Pay off Mom and Stepdad's mortgage.
    -Buy Mom and Stepdad a lovely medevil vineyard in the south of France and furnish it with a combination of antique furnishings and chic/techy gizmos..
    -Buy my brother a cosy little cottage/taverna in Amsterdam and subsequently, never see him again... :rolleyes:
    -Learn how to drive and buy an original 1988 Delorean, a 1956 candy-apple red Firebird Cadillac, a 1960 Volkswagon camper van and possibly a Bubble Car.
    -Buy my way into having American citizenship and get places in Florida, New York and Las Vegas.
    -Set my best mate and her hubby up in a swanky apartment/house of her choice and give her enough money to ensure she never has to worry about rent, bills, medical expenses or any other finacial stresses ever again.

    i would leave the country right away. i owe money to the odd person here and there and they can whistle for that 60 quid





    :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    Thought of a few new ones:

    -Buy my way into the Oscar judging panel and rig it so the most random, cheesy, offbeat movie of the year (possibly staring Rob Schnider) wins Best Picture.
    I'd also have Robert Downey Junior as my chaperone. Mmmmm...

    -I'd then bribe Shane Dawson into marrying me.

    I would invest my money in sensible places and get super powerful so the goverment had to listen to me. Then I'd make them all resign. Then I'd set up my own political party with funding from my lotto win, and I'd get the best academics and the best brains in the country and pay them to work for me. I would get a mix of doctors and smart people to run the health sector. No mary harney types I would deport her to ethiopia for charity work to make her slim down. I would fund barnardos because they are great.
    I would set up a scheme for college students to help out in new shiny homeless hostels and with children in barnardos, and with old people (I love old people) in return for grants for their education. I would change the leaving cert so its not one big exam but a series of exams throughout 6th year.
    I would get lots of interest for my money and be super powerful! then I would run for taoiseach and pay mary robinson to come back to ireland and help us with human rights campaigns. I would employ a posse of body guards like in kill bill. I would also have an elfin posse of bodyguards dressed like the elfs in lotr and they would all carry bows and arrows ands travel everywhere with me. I would employ a makeup artist to do my makeup before public speeches.
    I would buy a plane and learn to fly. I would make a tuatha de dannan fairy fort style fortress my home, and hold pagan dances around fires. I would have a massive library in my house with a ladder to the bookshelves. I would hold meetings with my cabinet at a big round table in my fort like in the knights of the round table. And I would have a stream flowing through my house with wild salmon. :) If only......

    was discussing this with the misses a few weeks ago...

    how come no one that has won the lotto or a significant amount of money has opened a decent theme park in ireland. We were saying based on our legends you could make an amazing them park and make a tone of money. yet no one has done it yet?

    reckon if i won the euro millions(lotto would not be enough) its the first thing i would do. you would make millions and millions and then bring a ton of tourism to ireland like disneyland does and thus stimulate the economy and create more jobs ect ect ect

    legend of an idea if i say so myself


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 641 ✭✭✭swordofislam


    i would set up a blog

    I thats the key word there, we have a half arsed one that is basically just a glorified farm Tayto Park.
    If only they did it right.
    Even something the tiny size of Oakwood would be very busy, a massive amount of people travel to Oakwood every year and its crap!

    Pay off mortgage firstly. Then I would give some cash to my parents and sisters.
    Then I would start buying really nice gifts for my wife and myself. Gifts such as new cars, holidays etc.

    I would a little to all family members except for the ones that are up their own arse!
