Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

All these people winning loads of money on the lottery.....

Hmmm?

Makes you want to think about buying an 'exclusive home'.

Maybe something in Beverley Hills?

eg, For something 'affordable' and cheap to run (ie. at $1357 HOA plus Taxes) check out the '211 Spalding' townhouse/condo'

(Do check out the 'exclusive car' link, which appears at the end of the movie on the first link)

ExecLine,
The old boy who won the was it 169 M stated his old cars were running fine. Talking about not changing them and staying put. I don't think his Mrs has the same ideas. Not being rude they did not look like they have missed many meals. lol

In view of the continuing "press exposures" has hit the barriers. I think the brilliant government policy of having locally elected "Heads of Police", which would be in effect be based on political allegiances,

(Another brilliant policy which won't come into fruition.8~))

But, I question what is happening and with the "Select Committee'" enquiry, especially with regards to "police actions" relating to the present corruption, and suspect it to be an attempt by the political "elite" to divert public attention from their own "corrupt actions".

26 meetings in 14months, to discuss the weather. Come off it.

DC

Yes, agreed. Couldn't have gone to a more deserving couple (NOT!)

Better then that Michael carrol character from Norfok (sure that was his name)
Back as a dustman now and skint. I got the first 5 of six numbers seven years ago.
1800 never been near since. Hope they give a lot to family, as I get the feeling he will not spend much. Where do you put 169 M, In 169 different banks. lol

Try 169 countries, or the Cayman Isles.

Could invest in owning his own political party or newspaper!

(They both seem to come quite cheaply.)

Fred you have missed the big one - He could donate to the conservative party?
Why invest in his own party, when there is a great one already. Lol

I don't know about you , but did the couple who won that money look like brother and sister ?

Dreamcatcher

Post a picture of them , i can't be bothered to. lol

In answer to the question - "who ate all the pies....?"

Scottish couple scoop record 162m lottery win

Invest in a stomache band or health farm springs to mind!!!!!

DC,

Perhaps, nobody will want to be associated with the current tory party leadership at the end of the numerous enquiries.

I have to check if I am a long lost cousin of the winner.

Too many fried mars bars from the chipper me thinks. Change of diet to fried turkish delight perhaps?

you suggested that aldwickk. The picture skinny has given us, no they do not look like brother and sister, not much lol. He sounds to tight to spend out on a stomache band 3 monkies. They would have to sew 3 together.

Lets me say why are the winners always second rate.

post 11623, 11624, what Fred1new.

Chris Carson, Thats not mars bars. Hes been down the bank, thats wads of cash up his belly. lol

Where has the wife put her cash then - Oh! perhaps don't answer that one. Hope they both live long enough to get some weight off so they can enjoy their dosh or they will pop their clogs with obesity. Should be in the garden instead of writing this but persistantly p.....g down here - has anybody got sunshine?
