Whoa! back up there Tarantino! You might think you can act by what about the integrity clause? A guest shot on the Golden Girls as close as your gonna get.
I will however as compensation I will extend casting couch privileges to you, and as much coke as you can snort off a starlets ass....

murrayp4 · 03-08-2012 03:14PM

After I stopped puking I'd probably go for a little lie down.

Change coke to MDMA and we have a deal my man! But can I at least have one line in one film? I'll play neighbour #1 and just say good morning to the protagonists! I dont want a lead roll. I'll be too busy enjoying my millions to play lead :L

1. Eurofighter Typhoon for starters.

2. Purchase a large patch of land and build a large airsofting/paintball site on it. Sort of like a fake town solely for airsofting. Bunkers, towers, an urban + surburban area, battlegrounds, trenches, wooded area, etc. Would be great fun.

3. Then with the remaining cash buy the general stuff such as a new car, large house w/golf course, etc. Oh and an airfield as well for the Eurofighter + hire an maintenance crew for it.

Wouldn't a Eurofighter Typhoon give you something of a rediculously unfair advantage in a game of airsoft? I'm just saying.. not very sporting 'ol chap.

cgal093 · 03-08-2012 03:17PM

I'd buy a house, far far away from where I live. And a Ferrari collection like Chris Evans'

fussyonion · 03-08-2012 03:20PM

First and foremost, I'd go on holiday to let the news sink in, nowhere too fancy, just a few days in Spain.

First thing I'd buy would be a house, but not a big mansion or anything, just a modest three/four bed home in the area I grew up in, or near it.
I've always wanted that, so that wouldn't change just because I suddenly have millions.

Secondly I'd buy a new car, a brand spanking new car-maybe a Lexus.
Then I'd start giving most of the money to family and close friends, but I wouldn't tolerate those begging letters you get and I certainly would give nothing to "friends" who reappeared out of the woodwork looking for a handout.

I'd never forget friends who helped me in the past, though.
After that, once all my friends and family have been looked after, I'd put the rest in the bank for the future.

I'd buy myself a Tiger Tank and drive over things... lots of things. http://www.google.ie/imgres?imgurl=http://www.worldwar2aces.com/tiger-tank/tiger-tank-images/tiger-tank-23.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.worldwar2aces.com/tiger-tank/tiger-tank.htm&h=592&w=900&sz=90&tbnid=XBeU-0TWL8Si_M:&tbnh=97&tbnw=147&zoom=1&usg=__tuvHn7Gwr4Pqllg7K0FfPseXdvU=&docid=YZbW80trC__28M&hl=en&sa=X&ei=GvUbUITBHoizhAejgIH4BA&ved=0CFgQ9QEwAw&dur=405

I think Tiger tanks are a bit rare even when you're mega rich. I fancy a Sherman tank myself. Or four or five of them for the when the mates come over. Imagine it, lots of beer and tanks to play with!:D

None of my friends are old enough to have mortgages so I would buy them a house and a car.

Pay of my close relatives mortgages and debt.

Buy my parents a few houses. My dad would need a really big fast car. My mum would need something that will protect her when she crashes. A few million for them too.

Buy my grandparents large houses. And give them a few mil.

I would give my old school an extended building and a 2 million donation.

I would then buy my self a few houses and a few cars. I would go on a 6 week long vacation (Back in college in 6 weeks)

I would give a bit to charitys for old people.

I would have a few politicians "cleaned out"

I would get two million euro in €200 notes and walk around town handing it out to random people.

I would pick 5 people who dont know my or my money who I think deserves a break and pay off their debt.

I would give my neighbours €50k each (I have a really good bunch of neighbours)

Then I would then try to continue with my life as normal. Finish college, get a job as a teacher and continue with life.

I would pay for 2 students each year from my school to go through college (All fees and costs up to masters level)

That would add up to about 100 million and Id still have a fair bit left over.

5starpool · 03-08-2012 05:08PM

I have a 50/50 agreement with my best mate, so if I won 180m, I'd propose something like 15m each, 3m to each immediate family member (33m in this case), get a list of the 100 closest friends between us for 1m each, and 14m to various charities.

I'd imagine a legal agreement for something like that would have to be drawn up in advance to avoid paying a punitive rate of gift tax, if it is even possible to have a huge syndicate with uneven shares where most people obviously were not actually in a syndicate, but it's a nice thought anyhow.

In reality I'd probably drop dead of a heart attack before I could spend a cent.

Buy a pint in Dublin and not feel robbed.

Build a house and have a fùckin' enormous cinema section in it with individual lazy boys that have the beer fridges built into them

MaxSteele · 03-08-2012 05:21PM

Hiring security personnel would be first on my list. With all these tiger kidnappings of bankers, a filthy rich multi millionaire from a normal background would be too sweet not to chance.

Clear my mates mortgages. Buy houses for those without. The sure thing of knowing there's a roof over your head for life is a biggie. Insure them and their families to the hilt health wise. My family? Not a red cent. Useless shower with the exception of one.

Throw money at Crumlin childrens hospital and the vincent de paul. Lay down a "war chest" with no strings attached for various organisations(inc Boards) so that said chest scares off the usual ambulance chasers.

Design and build a few houses, one in Ireland, one in north west Spain and one in the US. Collect art and antiquities and really early furniture. In particular Irish stuff, buy it so it stays in the country. Basically when I peg it I'd leave a ready made museum to the state.

Build/restore one of these, none flying today which is a pity, or buy one of these.

Rather than throw money at the usual bottomless charity pit, throw it instead into foundations etc fighting the causes of poverty and illness. Put up a 10 million prize/fund for local Irish projects.

Yachts and all that? Hire em if ever needed(unlikely), ditto for private planes(unless I get one of the previously mentioned yolks flying). Ditto might be a plan for the laydees. I'd get fierce attractive with that kinda moola and I know how thick I can potentially be and what with expensive divorces etc, better to hire rather than buy there too(unless it was someone I already knew in the past and had a lightbulb moment).

Staying local as attractive as that sounds would be a disaster with that kinda money. Begging letters only the start of it. Security would become a major issue for you.

pragmatic1 · 03-08-2012 06:28PM

Tell everyone what I really think of them at work. Then get fired.

Coke+hookers.

I,m with you on the Ju87....

ilovesleep · 03-08-2012 07:17PM

Well I would spend it on house improvements at home.
I would snap up a little cottage for myself.
I'd give money to charities especially the childrens hospitals.

After that I would propose some projects for Galway that I would fund:
An opera house down by the docks, something similiar to Sydney Opera house. It will be called the Galway Bay Opera House and hopefully it would be a worldwide known landmark and attraction and that will help with tourism.
A concert hall for Galway so that we could take some big names and international artists. Imagine Michael Buble Live in Galway
I would build the biggest cinema screen in the world in Galway.
I would put money forward for Irelands oil. We'd be out in recession in no time.

But I'd hold Enda Kenny and FG at ransom. These money projects will only go ahead on some conditions. Ireland can be so backwards on some social issues like abortion and drugs. I would like Ireland to move forward and become open minded on many issues.

So far I've a wished for a Tiger Tank and a Ju 87 .. I'm being realistic.

Yea MJ real pain in the bum there are no airworthy ones.

Only two intact ones too out of 10's of 1000's built(I reckon the one in the UK museum wouldn't take much to get going). I'm sure there's one or three locked in the Russian permafrost in relatively good nick. They're pulling out ME109's, FW190's and DC3's so fingers crossed. Yer man who co founded Microsoft has restored a few now. Fair play. It's not so long ago that there was pretty much none of the german stuff flying. So come on you lotto bastard!! You can sit in the back MJ. Then again that means I'd be driving, so maybe spend a couple of extra mill on fitting ejections seats...

I have and usually awake screaming in a cold sweat with murderous intentions. I'm sure many Galwegians would find it equally nightmarish.

I even bought the ticket yesterday in case I didn't get a chance today and then I go and lose 180 million:(:(:(:(

Similar story with the Tiger Tanks , theres supposed to be a few in swamps and lakes in Russia... I'm hopeful.
I can see myself turning into Kildare Street in the Tiger 'a la Michael Wittman'

I'd buy a dinosaur and let it loose in Cork

I'd probably lose the run of myself and splash out on new lino for the kitchen. If there was any change left over a new wooden toilet seat for the downstairs jacks.
