    Right, here's what I'd do. Find a woman: brunette, big brown eyes, long dark hair with decent conversation, calm, open minded, easy going. We'd buy a yacht and sail round the world. We'd stop off in places like Malaysia and eat ourselves into oblivion, and then rise again like Jesus Christ and explore the world for years! I'd find a new species of snake and come back with a potato and be granted a hero's welcome. We'd be married back in England in a small church in Pity Me in County Durham and then we'd get divorced and she'd take me through the law courts and gain access to all my lottery money leaving me a pauper. But, we'd have a right old time, and I'd be happy with the memories and live the rest of my days with a beard in which you could lose a badger due to spending far too much reading Nietzsche and thinking I'm Zarathustra!

      Years ago, we had this discussion at work. Jokingly, I said I would commission Scottish and Newcastle to make a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale the size and shape of the Eiffel Tower, and lie on my back at the bottom, spreadeagled, with a straw in my mouth while that wonderful substance pumped into me until I was dead.

      My colleague, Diane, (not my greatest fan) said, "If I won the lottery, I'd give the money to Steve".

      Just goes to show... er... something.

      Steve.

        Stop eating pizza for a while.

          Never had a single bite of pizza in my life. A bit sad that I'm proud of this I suppose.

            No worries, Steve. People are proud of everything these times.

              I'd buy 50 acres of land and open up a no-killer shelter for all sorts of animals, but primarily dogs.

              And I'd buy another 50 acres and open up a kill shelter for people who annoy me. We'd hunt them like the most dangerous game. (that was a joke before people who lack humor hit Report Post on me)

              Let all Oz be agreed;
              I need a better class of flying monkeys.

                None of them would be missed Ally, I'm sure they wouldn't be missed.

                  Astounding that you prefer dogs to people, Ally.

                    I'd buy a car, but hire a chauffeur. If I were to learn to drive, everyone else would be about as safe as a Japanese window-cleaner.

                      okay. this is easy. design and build a house. preferably on a river. put 500,000 in growth stock mutual funds to pay for books for the rest of my life. the rest goes towards saving the Kakapo.

                        Hello Robert,

                        We have a common link again Robert. I do not drive either. My chauffeur would be of a certain type. Quiet, intelligent and thoughtful ;-)

                        best wishes

                        Phil

                            I'd give all my money to a developing nation.

                              With the provision that I'd be made emperor for life, not to be less than 20 years nor to exceed 75.
