If you had the money...

[saratink]

What would you spend money on, if you had it?

[t8yman]

how much we talkin?

[Pogues Mcgogues]

I'd well go traveling or something. In fact I'd learn to drive and buy a tour bus that bands use and travel around Europe in it.

I dunno, I'd just want to spend it seeing and doing loads of stuff!

[The Nal]

Full size Millenium Falcon, in the back garden of my mansion obviously.

[ampersand]

hopefully more than a tenner, else this thread's gonna be rubbish!

A double bass, the f**king things cost over £1k for a new one.

Been listening to far too much Meteors, Living End, Grit & Modest Mouse recently.

theres all the boring shit, like paying off the mortgage - but if it was a one off purchase of anything I would probably choose a nice boat, nothing too fancy. About a 40 footer would do me.

something like this

If it's millions then I would just buy a house and then set up my own production company (for non-shit tv shows) & indie record label but I'd rather have a double bass though.

Ohh and a blackberry!!

Wouldn't it be awesome to buy a festival?

[rachbon]

if i had millions, i would buy:

a nice house, but not too big. maybe just a 4 bedroom with a big garden

donate money to charity

a holiday home somewhere, probably france or somewhere in america

i'd have my own festival

get a house built for my mum and dad

give money to my family

learn to drive and get a nice car

get cosmetic surgery

get a personal trainer

start my own business - a sandwich shop

buy shitloads of amazing clothes, make up and jewelery

go loads of holidays

and most importantly, go to loads of festivals

f**k that, if we have unlimited funds I'd buy a cruise ship!

[RABun]

I'd complete the refurbishment on our house in Yorkshire, buy my deli, leave myself some money to fall back on if it all goes tits up.

Buy my mum a house and give her some retirement income cause she's skint, and just been made redundant. Make sure my grandparents didn't need to sell their house. Give my brothers enough to piss up the wall as usual.

Put enough in trust to get Jo through uni (if he decides to go that route) and enough for a deposit on a house at some point in the future.

Give the rest away to charity. Or set up my own charity.

Oh yeah probably go on a really expensive holiday to a spa resort as i always do cultural trips and i really need a relaxing holiday as i've never actually had one.

I remember I was talking to a mate in the pub and what if you had £500 to spend in an hour and he said "I would go to the pub and buy everyone a drink so the next time I go in someone would owe me a drink".

[saratink]

I wouldn't give money to charity i'd probably donate my time like taking old people out on trips and stuff..

[Cardboard Box City]

I'll let you know after I win the Scoop 6 at the weekend.

[gratedenini]

Well a bit more than we got now...or millions lol..

Like, at the moment i'd like a new car, a ipod, a netbook, a pair of boots, some clothes, to be able to put the whole amount down for glasto 2011 instead of the £50 deposit! and to go on holiday.

If i had millions i'd like a house with some nice sofas and a big bed with cushins and a kitchen with a shiny cooker and all the gagets and a massive fridge full of lush healthy food, go on loads of holidays, have my hair done in tidy hairdressers, go out for meals like on sex and the city and a expensive car

Whilst this thread is obviously just a bit of fun... after all the things above had wore off...with the exception of family.. what are you left with?

The same hollowness that you might feel now without money.

I really really detest money. Need it of course... but when I see these TV programmes about people who have f**k all but seem as happy as a crab in Signourey Weavers skimps...I yearn foir that feeling.

atm, i really am on the bones of my arse... and I am 10p short for buying some milk.

Over the last few weeks, everytime i`ve gone for a piss--- I`ve looked at what I`ve now ascertained is a 10p piece... I think Hendrix threw it down there.

So, if i want some milk--- I`m gonna have to fish it out.

I`ll do it--no prob. But what a state of affairs eh.

Even allowing for that... my reply to your question would be :

A Fish Tank & a bottle of vodka.

I`d still fish the 10p out of the lav cos its quite erotic isn`t it.

he's retiring anyway. so what you would do, would increase simply red airplays and sales through his death, and making him a bigger legend in the process. like a ginger john lennon!

if i had hunners of millions i'd:

buy the house i grew up in

buy a house in edinburgh with a castle view

buy a flat in new york

buy a flat in sydney

invest substantialy (for a scottish club anyway) in livingston

then i'd just live off the interest, and take up a part time job at the stadium!
