    So you can destroy it with an Apache and Hellfires?

    Pretty obvious the poster is sympathetic, so why would they then bomb what they want to rebuild :confused:

    I like the way you think Mr Beesley. Would you be interested in a commercial

    company. :D

    I'd let you troll for me for free......but as I'm a woman I'd still be in charge, but

    I'd let everyone think you were in charge. ;)

    It's a perfect relationship. Oops...sorry wrong thread. I thought I was posting

    in the wedding forum! :D

    I'd visit every knacker camp in Ireland and burn wads of notes in front of them and laugh heartily.

    I am quite serious about the farm.:D

    I sincerely hope I am posting in the After Hours forum.

    (This just a bit of banter?)

    I'd get a real iron man suit made and go around saving the world, starting with Gaza and heading straight to finglas after the IDF are put in their place

    You have me a bit worried now. I'll check with d'unkle, see if he is willing to do a deal on the farm.

    Id buy a League of Ireland club and turn them into the next Man City.

    Id use my wealth to buy my way into driving a Formula 1 car or set up a rally team.

    Id also do some charity work on the side aswell.

    I'd hire the biggest cargo planes in the world and dump millions of tonnes of sh1t on Tel Aviv. That would make many happy. No weapons, just sh1t.

    I'd buy a gulf stream jet and employ a pilot to fly it. He would of course let me take the stick a few times on the sly ;). I'd then track down the brainiest fcuker who has the best chance of finding a cure for cancer and dump the money onto them.

    Why you wondering about his frontage?

    Superman's powers. Batman's gadgets etc. A visa to live in then states. A fighter jet, blackhawk helicopter love the sound. A nice house not big or not too small.

    Nice ranch with a few horses. It could be endless.
    The top one would be able to look after my mother and brothers.

    I have never understood throwing millions away on buying football 'success'. Have these people not seen Dream Team? It always goes wrong.

    Land that faces onto a road is worth more money = Road Frontage

    Only a farmer would know and understand that.

    Mr Beesley is not a farmer. Don't quit the day job.

    I know that Aineoil, farming background myself.


    I must have failed in my attempt at implying it was a different frontage that was being queried.

    Relax - well aware what frontage is. Half my aunts & uncles live in plots from the aforementioned frontage. Plenty remaining though.

    The boring stuff first:

    -The mansion
    -The fast cars
    -The helicopter
    -The private jet
    -The yacht
    -The penthouses in New York, London, Paris, Tokyo and Vegas
    -Lots of expensive suits, shirts, ties and shoes
    -A collection of expensive art
    -A football club
    -etc.

    After that, we're into the realms of the "eccentric". See, the difference between "insanity" and "eccentric" is money. Poor people are insane. I'm eccentric, because I'm so fabulously wealthy. :D

    Stuff like this would include having rock bands play at my birthday parties, buying a collection of guns and assault rifles, and so on.

    I would also attempt to resurrect a supersonic airliner, like the Concorde. In this day and age, with all the technology we have at our disposal, to not have a supersonic airliner is still a bit mind boggling. And to think that they had such a thing back in the 1960's (when cellular phones were generations away) is equally mind boggling. Time to bring her back, I say.

    A personal army of mercenaries to act as bodyguards and "cleaners". Headhunted from the likes of the CIA, the SAS, Mossad, etc. The best of the best.

    Financing interests of friends and family and making sure they were looked after well. That's a given, I would think.

    People say money can't buy happiness... I beg to differ. And even if it can't, so what? You can be miserable in comfort!
