£117M - What would YOU do?
I'd see out my current contact (29th April 2011)
The wife would resign 1st thing Monday. Would keep our current house because we love it. We would probably buy a place in the countryside with enough rooms to have lots of family and friends stay over. An indoor and outdoor pool would be a must, as would a tennis court. Once clear from my contract I'd start planning a worldwide holiday - maybe a 6 month trip (1st class of course :) ) which should be enough time to also find our country bolthole and have any necessary works completed. Even allowing for £10M on the property and a couple of hundred grand each on 6 months travel - that still leaves a stink load of cash which would accumulate interest at ???? £10K a day??? I'd definately give a few of the guys (guys includes both sexes in my lingo) enough £££ to allow them to resign / retire in a heartbeat. Nice to dream - which I am allowing myself to do for a little while before the crash of reality comes hammering down and I realise I STILL have to look for a job soon :( But then again - Maybe not :) |
I would pay for a scientific study to work out if some of the staff members I work with on a daily basis could be substituted for trained Monkeys.

Set my kids up well for schooling and a happy life. Ditch the missuse and enjoy all the special privileges that wealth tends to bring :norty: Drive Europe in whatever exotic car took my fancy, changing regularly. Attend plenty of motorsport, and compete in some. Travel the world almost continuously until I find that special place. Eventually settle down with a couple of modest homes in beautiful locations, near the sea, within sight of mountains, reasonably distant from large populations, in places where the temperature never drops too low, but doesn't go too high either. A couple of racetracks nearby would be a plus, with a couple of track focussed cars to compliment a small selection of the very best road cars. Invest in rising property markets to ensure the cash only grows.
As for friends and family. Well, in the last couple of years most of them have p!$$ed me off to some degree and displayed little interest in either me or my children, so apart from my Dad and brother, they can all rot, and I would expect nothing less back if they win. |

I'd make Charlie Sheen look like an amature!!!
|
Me I would sort my self out for later on, build myself a Gobstopper buy some kind of car trailer/ camper combined (probably need my HGV lol) then spend my summer traveling all of the Tracks in the UK and Europe doing trackdays and competitions.
|
I'd just be grateful I would NOT HAVE to work again - should I decide that. Not being forced to pander to any ****er fills me with a warmth like no other.
Anything else, i.e. material things, is a bonus. |

I'd set up a bank account with enough money in it to earn enough interest to pay my existing mortgage, just to piss off Lloyds and Halifax :D

One of these:
http://www.sunseeker.com/showboat.php?bid=23 Spec: http://www.sunseeker.com/boatdb/boat...0_ENG_0111.pdf With 8000bhp and 23,000 litre fuel tank giving 1500 mile range (15 gallons to the mile at cruising speed not flat out, lol), the £10K interest per day will come in handy. That's £32K to fill up :thumb: Anders |
