I see Ackergill Tower is for sale for the bargain price of £5M.

I was wondering what .orgers would do if they won the lottery/pools/ premium bonds and had £5M to spend?

Buy a grand palace, new car, luxury boat, move somewhere warmer? Help others? Invest in the market, or business, or have a massive blow out?

Not really sure what I'd do with that kind of money at all.

Save it. Would buy a house or maybe two, donate some to charity. buy something random like Wick Academy. :lol:

First thing to do would be engaging the services of a PROPER! private specialist Doctor/Surgeon to fix my worn out knees and back (the NHS are just fobbing me off until i'm crippled), then i'd find out where the warmest driest place in the UK is, buy/build a house there in an area surrounded by trees and away from everyone else (4 en-suite bedrooms, gym, games room with pool/snooker table, modern video games systems and a selection of classic arcade games and pinball machines, home cinema room, small swimming pool).
A purpose built mountain bike track in the woods surrounding my house and a huge garden for all my cats and rabbits to run around in.
And after i have got all that i will be selling the house and moving back to Wick because the 5 million will be spent and i can't afford the upkeep :lol:

I'd make my offspring millionaires, my grandchildren half-millionaires......then buy myself a wee hoosie from my million, leave enough in my account for maintaining it and struggle to spend the rest. Well, I wouldn't struggle to spend it......I can spend for Scotland.........but I'd struggle to think of anything I really fancied to spend it on.........so I'd likely make gifts to friends, extended family and charities.

I would pay for Kylie Minouge to renact the Agent Provecateur ad she did on the mechanical bull in my front room on my next birthday. With her sister. And Rachel Stevens while we are at it.

I would buy the Ford Cortina that was used as Gene Hunt's car in Life on Mars and scream round yelling "you nonce" at everyone while wearing a biege camel hair coat and having a cig hanging from the mouth.

I would have a lion as a dog and take it to the pub. Lets see people nick my seat then.

I would have a beer room in my new house. It would contain fridges, dancing poles and large comfy sofas' just in case any lapdancers just happen to pop round when the wife is away .. ;)

I would have a Porsche, a Ferrari and a Bentley. And my own Helicopter. And they would all be washed daily by scantily clad models dressed in bikini bottoms and white t-shirts. I will have a viewing are above the garage.

I would bribe people to come on to the org and say that they enjoyed all sorts of deviant behaviour.

The first thing I would do would Make sure my loved ones were debt and worry free.

Make sure there was plenty put aside for the wee fellas future/education.

I would buy my brothers house off him as its so much nicer than mine :lol:

Buy my OH the Digger hes always wanted...(most men would like a fancy car, my OH wants a super digger thingy :roll: )...then probably buy a quarry so he would have somewhere to play with said digger in.

I doubt i'd have much left after buying a quarry and a brand new massive digger...

I would spend £100,000 on a hit man and wipe out Gene then steal his amazing life! Then I would sit and count my remaining £4,900,000 :lol:

I would give at least three million away by donating to charity and investing in good projects within the local community.

Aound two hundred thousand I would keep to myself the rest I would divide amongst my family to make sure they had no worries. :)

I already live in a lovely house with a nice view, nice neighbours and dont want to change that. My husband would never give up his work :eek: so we wouldnt be moving away or doing anything mad.

All in all I would give four million eight hundred thousand away and I am being totally honest.

Buy myself a windfarm and watch the cash roll in.

If I was you I would keep the hundred grand and just tell my wife I was playing around. I would surely die from blood loss from the proceedure involving nails, testicles and a wall that my wife promised would ensue if I ever did.

I fear I have said too much .. :confused

Didn't you say in the past you've already had one of the twins removed? :eek: You can't afford to lose the remaining one. :(

I'd build a house and a nursery next door. Never be late for work ever again!!!
I'd have to see bout location as it has to be somewhere where i want to live for a long time there and to raise my kids there.
Win 5 million or not i'll have that dream one day one way or another:) I'll make it happen.

See me....see winter....see snow...ye can keep it, I'm offski. £5M will get me a couple of houses around the world so I'll always have sunshine. :cool:

Vistravi
21-May-09, 20:25
Do you nae like the cold Jox?;)

I don't mind it. I'd rather be cold than hot personally. Makes sense as the sun just turns me into a lobster. :lol:

21-May-09, 20:28
I'm (ahem) 28 years old and had enough of snow, long dreich winters and crap summers. I want to go where there is guaranteed sunshine.

Vistravi
21-May-09, 20:54
Ah yes you old people feel the cold more??:Razz;)

Considering i get the lobster affect in the sun I'd best not dawdle in it for too long even with sun cream. couple of hours and i get burnt.

Thats true Jox but with the £5,000,000 I would have developed a replacement teste that far outstrips the original.

It would be made of light plastic and have a heating element so I can be kept warm in the winter down there, it would have bluetooth connectivity so I could use it to answer my phone via headset with just a very light tap and have GPS so that as I am walking down the street my tackle would actually be physically able of guiding me to the Pub.

Getting TO the pub never seemed to prove that much of a difficulty, it was getting home from the pub that was a struggle:D

Brilliant idea though Gene....'No officer, i'm not fondling myself in public, i was mearly answering my phone' :lol:
