Today was yet another very slow day in work. As is the norm on days like this we ended up having a conversation about a stupid topic. I guess we do it just so as not to sit there in silence slowly going mad. We have discussed why belly button fluff in men is always blue, who would you want to be the last person you speak to before you die, the off side rule for football, ..... all kinds of stuff really.

Today the question was

'If you won the Lottery what would be the first thing you would buy with the winnings?'

As I don't play the Lottery it was a bit of a stupid question to ask me but I went with the flow. I said a tightrope rig or some Dura stilts or maybe some powerisers or I'd get some clever person (polarity) to build me an uber exciting LED hula hoop.

They all looked at me, tutted and turned back to the topic of which Manor or Castle they would buy..... I don't see why my choices were any more stupid than buying a huge house/castle that would cost a fortune, be very cold and drafty and probobly eat up all of any winnings you had in fuel bills! At least my choices were fun biggrin

I always end up feeling like the liberal, hippy, sideshow freak when we have chats like these ones.

Ah well!

*le sigh*

Not for that reason, but yes!

In fact a lot recently... Or maybe I just don't understand people?

Your choices are just as nutty as theirs... no worries biggrin
Can't figure why they're tutting, silly people, they must all have small d*)^%$ syndrome....
Why else would you want a castle or a manor, not that I wouldn't mind building myself a country estate but it would be useful and not very prestigious looking!

I'd certainly buy various toys with the first of a large lottery win.

Then I'd play with them while thinking over the details of the house I'd build - scooby doo style revolving bookcases take time to plan after all wink
I'd certainly not go out and buy the first castle I could find for sale. Yes, a lottery win is a fairly hefty chunk of money but it's nuts to spend a huge chunk of it in one go, you'd be better off investing it while you planned your really large purchases properly.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

I said a tightrope rig or some Dura stilts or maybe some powerisers or I'd get some clever person (polarity) to build me an uber exciting LED hula hoop.








I would look at you strange too. But I generally do. wink I think the point of the lottery is that you'd buy something that you couldn't easily borrow from someone else.



You certainly don't have to win a lottery to try out a pair of stilts, powercizers or a tight rope!



I have access to a tight rope and powersizers and I own durastilts and an LED hoop and you can borrow them WHENEVER you want. biggrin All you have to do is kiss Claire. wink



Or, if you give me your winning lottery ticket, you can HAVE them. wink (And Claire for that matter.)



[Yes Fluffy, Molly gave me the coolest LED hoop in all the land and I love love love it. You do need one. biggrin ]

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

know how you feel hon. I span in the back garden of the language school I'm studying at during lunchtime to blow off some steam and cos it was a gorgeous day.

Afterwards i got a comment from 40 something ex-army bloke on my course, 'the men in white coats are coming to take you away soon'
my reply was 'not again!'

I also got some applause from one of the students, which was nice.

but inside I couldn't help but feel they had all totally missed the point. My half hour spin was totally for my benefit only, for stress relief.

When people make comments like that it just makes me sigh as I think what a completely different and less spinning-obsessed planet they live on.

Because ActiveAngel sounds like a feminine deodorant

i think everyone feels like this

the people who dont are probably delusional

personaly if i won the lottery i would probably instant blow a couple of grand in a book store, then a dvd place and a music place

then buy a load of junk for my mates and get outragiously drunk for a week or two before paying of student junk and being sensible (ish)

Dani - if you do that for the NSPCC then maybe they may stop bothering the families which have no problems and start doing their job properly and investigate high risk families. I have first hand experience from the NSPCC when I was a kid frown (i'm not gonna go into detail but I'll just say my elder sister was a bit of an attention seeker as an early teen and could make make-up look like a bruise) and it must have been hell for my mum (hugfor mammy)

Scully - by saying they wanted huge homes and such they just wanted to show off their wealth. I'd just want lots of fun things, like yourself. weavesmiley juggle I'd also buy a comfy 5 bed house in suburbia with a lovely large garden (for spinning of course), a vw beetle ubblove for short trips and a vw camper for - well camping obviously biggrin peace and my only extravagancy would be my own plane so i could travel far and wide - to falmouth ubblol
I could go spin in manchester for the afternoon, visit my sister and the southampton posse for a spin at suppertime and be back home in time to watch south park and trailer park boys on paramount!! ubbrollsmile

If I ever won the lottery I would shout my family a big holiday and give them heaps of money for all the times in my life when they've paid for things for me.

As for self indulging, I'd probably just buy a holiday house somewhere exotic and buy a car....oh and a pet tiger tongue

I would give quite a lot to a couple of different charities I'm passionate about too.

tickle pants we are raising money for special investigations unit because they are the ones that investigate things such as sexual abuse in children which is something i have also had first hand experience with but never told anyone cos there was no one around when i was younger i thought i could trust
the unit costs a lot to run for jus 6 months and then a lot of cases get left because they havnt got enough funds to carry on... it is a unit for severe cases

all i can say to that is they was just trying to protect you, thats all they can do at least the children that do need it will get the help and if it is false reasons then with the right funds they can investigate things properly and seperate what is real and what isnt smile

**thinks will is weird** wink

skully i know exactlt what you mean,i get the exact same thing at my workplace.

they all also find it hilarious tha i spend my breaks spinning things round my face,and frequently thwaking myself with various tools,and everytime i say i've got a gig,or am going up to a festival-they look at me as though i've just skinned a kitten or something.......*sigh*

funnily enough the lottery question was raised at our work just a few days ago,and my reply,being very similar to yours was also scoffed at.........

.......god damn non-freaks........what is the world coming to!? biggrin weavesmiley

Dani - they should have had a doctor look at her, they would have seen the bruise was faked - then sent her to a shrink. But for some reason they didnt. anyway that was a decade ago and she's apologised to my mum for being a b*tch and lying and stealing n stuff, so everythings all ok now.

I love the "in your pants" thing! Everytime my friends and I go to a restaurant or ice cream shop, we land up reading the sentences on the menus with "in your pants" afterwards! Cracks us up everytime! Wait a minute... cracks... ubblol

I think thats why most people dont understand me

As for winning the lottery: I'd pay off all debts, buy a nice house in the countryside, start up my business and invest the rest. Dont need to buy a car as I already own the most awesome machine - a VW beetle biggrin

The question wasn't really about what you would do with the money long term it was just what would be the first thing you buy with it. Thats why I chose fun stuff. What I would do with the rest of it would take me a huge post to explain so I'm not going to bother because it would bore the pants off you ubblol

pink yes they should of but this is the reason i am raising money for them because they need the money to have proper investigations carried out lack of funds means they cant do all they should at times and government dont fund it which is stupid, but yes they should have sent her to see a doctor but as said before they was doing there jobs they wasnt in the wrong at all your sister was...
sometimes they have to beleive children as abuse can be in many forms not just physical
