Obiously I'd kit the car out with cannisters upon cannisters of NOs, just to hit that speed.

That or I'd buy another DeLorean, kidnap Christopher Lloyd and force him to build me the time machine he had done previously.

Now you’re talking. Now where could we get some enriched plutonium?

well I would have to split it 50/50 with my Boyfriend, cos we always go halves on the ticket.

As I am the other half of that deal, with the remaining 8million I would:

Stick €5m immediately into a 1 year term investment fund - in order to give me time to ponder ideas.

See if my dad wanted to set up a business, go 1/2's with him and let him run it his way. €400k

Build 2 houses, one either side of the Liffey. €600k each incl site.

Stick €500k into a term investment for each of my 2 brothers and see what they want to do with it. €1m

Take advice and start off with a few horses - friends of mine train them and have always wanted to see what the fuss was about. €100k

Buy a newish car and a motorbike. €30k

Total spend €7.73m

The remaining €27 grand would see a nice holiday I suppose

They only pay the high interest up to €100,000. Northern rock is a bit better they pay high interest up to a million. U still have a bit of cash left over tho!!!

Ooh, I want a pony! A pretty pink one, with a pink and white mane, and its own hairbrush and hairclip. Like a My Little Pony, but HUGE.

Overheal

5 million euro-saver burgers from the McDonalds menu and have them shipped down to Africa. I'm sure I'd get some massive bulk discounts too, so more to go around.

the rest I would use greedily having already appeased my guilty conscience.

I'm assuming you wouldnt give €16million for a mug??

Cos if that is the case, I can acquire one for you....

Blush_01

I want a My Little Pony mug now. I had a My little Pony jigsaw when I was small and my brother cut the edges off it because he couldn't make it fit properly. Stupid boys.

biko

I would buy sex. I promised myself to pay for it one day.

Blush_01

Oh, I'd buy all the David and Goliath "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them" clothes and memorabilia and burn them, because they're a bit shít, frankly.

Gorilla

Would you have to buy security if you won? I mean would there be gangs of bloody theves all trying kidnap you or rob your money like in Ocean's Eleven.

Anyway all I would buy is some PC parts to build my own PC. Not sure what my mother or brother would do.

Mizu_Ger

Do the usual stuff (paying off families mortgages go on a big holiday etc.), then buy a huge plot of land and build a f**king weird mansion like this one: http://www.winchestermysteryhouse.com/story.html for a laugh!

mcauley

I would definitely buy myself a Moderator title for Boards (everyone has a price!!!)

Just so I could ban people who disagree with me.

Might also splash a few quids on this : http://www.myhome.ie/search/property.asp?id=303932&np=&rt=search&searchlist=

Just cos its closer to work. It could be my "work" house.

Everyones a winner.

Buy an Audi RS4.

Round the world, first class all the way.
Propose to herself.

Well the first thing I'd do is buy a goalkeeper for Leeds United. We have none currently and apparently they're rather important.

After that I'd obviously look after the family and friends and then start buying some properties around the world to enjoy. Barcelona, Cape Town, San Francisco and Sydney should do nicely.

1.Challenge Dolores McNamara to a wrestling match!
2.Buy a sexy apartment in Manhatten
3.Give money to my parents and sister, not brother
4.Buy everything i've always wanted
5.Party like it's 1999!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Buy an aston martin DB9

Not tell anyone.

I'm an american style truck cab (the one with a nice place to sleep in), and a dodge viper (aka: the one from GTA).

Leeds need more then a goalkeeper at this stage

Yeah, but then it would probably cost a lot more than 16 million:D

I'd say optimus prime eats through unleaded as well. He must cost a fortune to run. Although if you tried to skip the bill at your local esso, I really doubt they'd try and stop ya.

I would build a mansion in Leitrim.
Buy a house in Foxrock and another in Ranelagh.
Buy a flat in London, New York and somewhere in Australia.
I would invest in a load of small companies at home and abroad and get involved in their businesses.
I would give my ould pair a million and buy my bro a house at home. I'd give a few quid around the family.
I would buy a nice beemer.
Then I'd invite all my friends and family to a big party down in the Guinness Hopstore. I'd book it out for a weekend.

and finally.....

I'd quit the job (but really I'd prob do that first ).


As for people knowing, 60 odd people in my branch would when I'd go to lodge the cheque :rolleyes:


<EDIT> I forgot to say that I would give my local GAA club a few quid and buy premium seats in Croker, the new Lansdowne Road, Thomand Park, Old Trafford and Wembley

ninebeanrows

I'm going to win! I'm going to win!;)

Nephew

I'd get a plane to Somalia and brag to all the locals about how rich I am then fly home.
