God knows how I'd win a million quid as I never do the lottery etc,but anyway if I did.....I'd have a couple of parties,1 for family and 1 for friends.After making sure mum's going to be ok financially,and donating a hundred and fifty thousand or so to Easton community groups I'd head off traveling.After 5 years or so doing unpaid community work throughout the world[plus the odd holiday in between] I'd head home and buy a small cottage/farmstead with a few acres of land attached and start a wee smallholding. 8)

Put down deposit on a(nother) moderately sized house. No real point in buying a house outright.
Set aside 100k to be split amongst family.
Set aside 20k to give friends a leg up if they need it.
Stick the rest in savings.
Rent out second place.
Top-up mortgage payments with monthly interest, add all interest back into bank account.
Overpay mortgage repayments as much as possible each year.
Carry on working, minus stress worrying about keeping job. Possibly opt for less fulltime job so I can travel a bit more for fun.
Buy third house as soon as possible without taxing monthly interest, etc.
Invest in random shares.
Carefully invest in startups.
Inviegle myself into political establishments.
Get appointed as a government advisor.
Decide on govermental policy.
Spread tentacles to other countries.
Take over the world.

Fin.

Pretty sensible solution really, I'd go for this. 1,000,000 isn't going to get you far if you try to live off it forever so you may as well take the opportunity to do some shit you wouldn't do otherwise and set yourself up for life.

id build a house and music studio in the middle of nowhere, non uk, somewhere like alaska or the rockies, that was completely independent from everything, i.e. generates own electricity and heat, water, internet, livestock, veg
basically so i wouldnt have to ever spend money on stuff wasnt essential
then i can just relax in nature and make beats and grow weed with the right girl, away from people

thats the dream anyway

but in the current economic climate id probably buy 1 millions worth of gold then wait for economy to crash :mrgreen:

I'd ask BNanni to marry me. Sgt Pokes will be the priest.

I'd marry her on a beach in the Caribbean.

I'd throw a party for Faust and Magma and Kay and Dead Rats where I'd hire Andy C, Rusko and the Indian guy out of Sum 41 to play b2b with Tim Westwood MCing.

I'd hire Faust's girlfriend to by my official biscuit lady.

developing some sort of helicopter/auto hybrid 100% green and silent, looking a bit like the ones in avatar, and a virtual 3D gps system of the sky to make traveling much more easy, safe and much more fun for humanity. With what's left i'll smoke many J's with my friends and get paris hilton to suck my rectum.

Yes. And bring "the llama" too. It will spread confusion amongst all the alpaca-lovers.

Saliva confusion.
