poohbear 1,360 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 £25,000,000 Euro Lottery. What would you spend some on if it was you??? Me??? Get some decent dental work done... Buy a huge country estate with lakes and turn it into a nature reserve with no hunting or farming with chemicals.Somewhere to walk my dogs in peace in my older years. Hire a mega yacht with crew and cruise the Pacific islands during Englands winter. Help out some mates I've made over the years who are working all hours on the markets for next to sod all. Provide a group of friends and visitors for lonely house bound pensioners who never see a living soul from one week to the next. What about you?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I would love to buy an old American "Motel" - in a picturesque location. Remodel all the rooms, and add a large garage/workshop. Refurbish a few MGB's to near-new condition then offer B&B vacations with MGB rentals! I think the British car nuts would love it - and so would I! Of course, a week at "The Tides" in South Beach every now and then would be required, as would a cottage in an English village (Derbyshire preferably) within walking distance of a "perfect" village pub!

Beefsteak 305 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Have liposuction Buy a 2 seat Spitfire with super wide seats Loads of aviation fuel Refresher course on a PPL Big house with fishing lake, landing strip and hanger Ensure my kids were well educated Then fire up the 'Spit' and f**k off with a dirty woman ...........LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mariag 4 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Have a luxury motor cruiser with full staff and travel the med. Have any cosmetic work needed (plenty) Get a vip pass for my daughter to see Miley Cyruss (yeh groan) Husband can retire and fish off the luxury boat, Not much really.... whoever said money cannot buy happiness - it would certainly go a long way to get it. Having said that, money cannot buy you a perfect health .... which is the most important thing. Beefsteak, if you had lipo would you need extra wide seats????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poohbear 1,360 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Having said that, money cannot buy you a perfect health It can keep you healthier though...good food..housing...keeping warm. Royalty and Maggie Thatcher have constant private nursing care...They'll live longer than some poor old biddy on the pension...and in greater comfort.I bet none of them will get MRSA in some scruffy hospital.

plantfit 7,597 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Ayup Ian, I would get that dirty woman to clean herself up a bit before I let her into the Spitfire, Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,872 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I would fill my fuel tank right to the top. (then i could go round looking for dirty women). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 859 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Caroline looks pretty clean to me, rich widow with her own two seat Spitfire, you wouldn't have to spend a penny of your winnings if you got in with her, sorry Caroline:- Incidentally Mariag, have you ever looked inside the cockpit of a Spitfire, it's not very spacious, even after lipo, our Beefy is a big lad, I'm sure his head would touch the cockpit canopy, you'd have to get him inside a Messerschmidt 109 with a shoe horn. Sorry Ian, I reckon that the best aircraft for you would be a Mosquito, Spitfires are pretty common anyway, Mossies aren't, you could even take out the nav seat and put an armchair in. Theres one going through a painfully slow restoration in Canada, thats the one I'd go for if I won that amount of money, get it finished, finish off the flying lessons and hope to be at Legends in time for the Olympics. My missus dream is to have an animal rescue centre, I'm happy to go along with that. Thats it then, big estate with animal sanctuary, airstrip with Mosquito in hangar, a massive working Hornby Dublo layout with every item they've ever produced, a DUKW and a 1943 Dodge 4x4, and a pair of Fowler steam ploughing engines, oh and a newbuild fully working example of LNER 2-8-2 'Cock of the North', plus a pretty decent boat on the Broads with a weekend chalet and mooring to go with it. Would £25m cover that, or would I still have to rely on the Sainsburies cheap shelves to eat well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I would build a HUGE bath and fill it with all these dirty women that denshaw was picking up. I love PoohBears ADVERT. He who sells sweets needs dental work.....( i found that funny ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 When I first met Beefsteak around 1982, He clambered partly into my MG Midget. My earliest image of him was a big loud freckly guy in shorts sitting in the passenger seat with left leg hanging over the side? Eyeball Eyeball that man, Beefsteak Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mr rob t 11 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 So then Poohbear, if you won all that money wouldn't you be in the same position as Royalty and Maggie Thatcher ? Maybe people would start calling you and damaging your property out of nothing more than jealousy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Poohbear I still have 2 baby teeth (fang ones), my second teeth came through when I was about 11, but they were coming through the roof of my mouth so had to be taken out. These baby teeth are a tad loose (although have been loose for 3/4 years) I went in beeston for a quote on implants and they wanted 5 grand.... I didn't even like the dentist! I looked into having it done in budapest (very good dentists with european training) and it was going to cost about half the quote from beeston. i still haven't had it done (keep thinking whilst ever they are in my head they can stay) my neighbour here has had 2 in her lower jaw and it has only cost her a thousand - so I may go to the one she went to......when it is absolutely necessary. You do have to shop around here as some charge the same as UK..... I am still looking into another dentist who is Indian and over here and from what I understand they maybe even cheaper!

Limey 242 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well Mick, if you won 25mill (pounds) at this moment you could buy about a thousand of those houses in Florida and have enough money left over to fly there first class - several times! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poohbear 1,360 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Buddy ...you wouldn't believe how broke I am at the mo...not a spot of grub in the house.....Stay home. All my spare cash went on clearing the moat, and my last helicopter trip to the golf course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
