    Advice Wanted

    If I suddenly came into a lot of money (I won the Euro Lottery £112m), how would you suggest it is spent? Would I:

    • Keep quiet and not tell anyone
    • Throw a big party for everyone I know
    • Give the money to a charitable cause
    • Employ an angry brigade to annoy those I don't like

    Just wondering like. I suddenly seem to have friends that I didn't know about.

      If you win a lot of money, the two golden rules are:
      1. Don't tell anyone, and
      2. Move house, at least a mile away, preferably much further.

        I would spend a few million on the the best lawyers to sue every FUC£ER in the City Council!

          1) I'd tell everyone. What's the point in having loads hoarded away. Money is best enjoyed when it's shared with the right people.
          2) I'd throw a huge party. Possibly more than one. There would likely be midget entertainment too.
          3) I'd give some of the money to charitable causes
          4) I think having all that dough would be annoyance enough.

              I´d keep quiet about it, and just feel incredibly smug. I wouldn´t even spend it, just look at my bank account every few hours, and just enjoy that incredible feeling of being smug.

                Yes keep it in the bank and watch all that interest grow!

                Or maybe not

                  I'd resign then tell everyone that I had lost my job and I need to borrow as much as I could get my hands on, in order to keep my missus,cats and Dongo in the style to which they have become accustomed.

                  Then I would have a party and return their money * 100
