Difficult to believe anyone can just blow everything with a win like that without realising that the bank balance was disappearing. Don't see why he should get any special help over the heads of those less fortunate than him.

He's an idiot, it's possible to make a modest (albeit very modest) living on the interest of £1.5M alone!

I'd say it was perfectly possible to have good lifestyle on the interest from that kind of cash.

I realise that if you spend all the interest the value of money slowly errods over time, so it all depends on how old you are, but even still.

You'd be broke quicker than he was, unless you used some of the money for a maths tutor.

Basic 6% at 8 mil would be just over 9k a week. You would obviously be looking to get a better investment rate but i assume 6% would be low risk.

right done the math, could have done that in that post but hey there you go

basicly 8mill divide by 100 = 80k, times by 12 for interest at 12% (offsure tax free acounts, my uncle works for barclays in the oveseas acounts deparments and that comes from him ) = 960k divide by 52 weeks = £18,461.54 per week

No need to swear stephen.

John, who married Sandra in 2003, spent millions to guarantee the club's loans - and millions more in legal wrangles when the club went into receivership.
I know enough!!!

You have blantantly misunderstood by what I meant in not investing the money in Hibs, gumbo! WHY on earth would I encourage anyone to put any money into Hibs when I support Hearts? You tims know nothing!
