A niceish yacht then go for a sail for a few years.
a postcard and stamp to tell work I wont be back
I would buy a bank. then pay myself a huge bonus from the bank and get the gov to bail out the bank and so on ...............
Oh, and a new basketball strip for my lads primary school team.
hire someone to speak for me,
loaf of bread, there's none in the cupboard for tomorrows lunch
Naaahh - Obvious really.
I'd get the bikes properly set up and serviced
not sure - PC or mac?
a money counting machine, just to check
maybe not first
id like to buy a big hill, mountain if possible add a chairlift and turn it into the uks premiere dh venue
any hills for sale near london?
I'd buy another SS bike.
i'd by myself a life with less belongings, but the ones i had would be great and a nissan figaro.
Challenger tank
Buy a flash car (BMW M5 or something, enough seats to get my mates in though)... Go and pick my mates up... Then go and buy more flash cars (Astons, Ferraris, Porsches etc)... Maybe a couple of nice bikes too (motor and mountain variety).
Then on the way home from my shopping spree, I'd begin to worry about where the hell to put all my new purchases... So suppose I'd go home via a couple of upmarket Estate Agents, end up looking at some nice properties in the country, with a bit of land, garages, space to really let rip with my new toys etc...
Which is exactly what most people would do, right?
Oh, and on the 2nd day, i'd go book myself a right good bloody holiday... Me, my mates, bikes and snowboards, and just blow a load of money having a shitload of fun for a couple of weeks... I'd then worry about the remaining £43m when I got home 😉
[i]not sure - PC or mac? [/i]
It's only 45 million, you couldn't afford a mac.
An island with very high ground, a boat - likely a stealth-type eco one like the anti-whalers are using near Japan, and a helicopter. Then, I'd build an eco-fortress to shelter myself and my family from the shit-storm that's a-comin', and stock it with all the necessities and comforts for survival.
Once that's ready, I'd go on a leisurely trip to see friends and family around the world, and show my child the wonders that it contains, all the while learning new things, volunteering for good causes and donating to charities.
Upon my return I'd buy a small distillery - rum or whisky - and have a massive party.
'kinell - 45 MILLION pounds? Can you even begin to get real with that?
I hope they use it well.
An On-one with some Superstar pads. Don't want to get too reckless.
An industrial unit near my house, many lorry loads of dirt and a JCB type thing.
After that, a helicopter and pilot for dropping me and bikes off on top of hills.
A bungalow and a new motor for the folks. Lippo sucktion and a big, fast, nasty car me.
It would be nice to watch the look of terror some some wasaky accountant's face when you tell him you're going to *blow* a million or so on just shite. Yes, invest this much, buy property with this much, blah de ****ing blah. I'm now going to withdraw a million which is going to get completely wasted on bobbins. I'm going to give some to tramps, spend 50k on getting a single blow job, buy a range rover and then torch it, just for a laugh. I'm going to buy perfect strangers free ale all night and drop a grand on dobbin the three legged blind donky in the 3:40 at Ascot.
What do you think of that you penny pinching tosser?
A singing and dancing Squirrel called Vernon
These:

He's probably laughing his head off already mate, cos you as a taxpayer have already bailed out the bank he works for (which he helped get in a state in the first place), and are now helping contribute towards his nice fat annual bonus again already!
He'd probably join you in dropping a grand on dobbin in the 3:40 at Ascot, though the other suggestions might be a bit rich for him 😉
Edit - that made no sense.
I'd buy lots of nice bikes and a big motorhome to put them in...
Although the first thing would probably be something like a chocolate bar...
I doubt £45m would buy and maintain those yachts for a year....they are SUPER yachts for the hideously rich (Billions)
A tractor. A big one. Always fancied a tractor. Probably a blue one. And a field to drive it in.
A bigger wallet
ill have [url= http://media.komonews.com/images/061113_fast_motorhome1.jp g" target="_blank">
I like daffy's last yacht imagine the look on the somalian pirates face when that things breaking sound barriers heading towards there wooden boat.
Me?
Get the cheque book out and write away to my friends and immediate family, no mortgage or whatnot worries for them!
Grab a mate of mine and we'd go car shopping... nothing too flash as that's not my style, RS4 Avant / R8 (v10) then house shopping.
Then the pub with a few friends 😉
A large plot of land in the country, an architect to design a modernist pile with a 2 story below ground garage for cars, bikes, boats and the helicopter. Then of course cars, bikes, boats and helicopter. In short i want to be tony stark lol
Top one is £6.5 million
Bottom one is £14.8 million
The Wallypower 118 (bottom one) has a [u]CRUISING[/u] speed of 60knts. 60!
18000 Horsepower right there baby.
I hope they use it well.
Can't speak for the other winner.....but.... 😀
A plantation near Amsterdam 😀
Boringly, my current house (as in clear the mortgage). Do the same for [i]immediate[/i] family; maybe some intrest free loans to the others, but not bank rolling them all - where do you otherwise draw the line?
Then a bloody big plot of land and employ a trail crew to do the grunt work for me.
Then build a new super dooper house on said land, that I would have had time to think about and help design.
Then another place in the 'proper' mtns - Alps of Rockies, maybe both.
Few bikes, skis etc.
But to be honest, I could only get to about 20-25million with investments etc and then they'd be enough to live more than comfortably on for the rest of my life.
So, I'd give away the rest; although it would be hard to work out who to give it to over another.
i'd open a few schools in partnership with the government, much like that **** Vardy is doing up north with his 'faith' schools. i'd then be able to influence the curriculum and try and change the mindset of a generation away from "want want want" to "need".
i'd also like to fund a guerilla campaign against the motor industry, the pharmaceutical industry.
i'd also buy myself a plot of land where i could set up a commune with those people i know and love the most. it would have to be mountainous though. might buy up a valley somewhere in the alps. süd tirol, perhaps; long summers, big mountains and little snow below 1500m and year round ski resorts at 3000m means year round biking and boarding.
would also make contact with people i've met and help out where possible.
Ride day in day out around the world
Another would be to turn a large mountain in Wales into a massive bike
park, that has the meanist DownHill sections and tracks to hold World Cup
and Bang on long flowing single tracks.
Complete with Gondalas
Free parking
£ 2 quid a day towards supporting the local economy
i would turn up to work in a "super" car every day (have a year contract to hold out on)
then set my own bike company up and employ my mates. buy a pad in hills some where with my own Trails and skate park/bowls.
buy someone to replace me at work and tell em to **** off!
Clear debts for us and immediate F&F and those I've met that have had a positive impact on life.
£2 million to the Forget Me Not Trust - local charity looking to build a children's hospice - 2 mil is the build cost.
After that travel the world in a backpacking stylee - with the occasional stop at a nice spot to rinse me sandals....
All to give me time to work out what to do with the rest.....
I have always said the first thing I would but is a Lambo not sure which one I would have to test them first. Then I would start looking at houses.
Realistically the first thing you buy isnt going to be a house because they take so long to go through.
I would help relatives with housing but that's all as they will need to work to fund everything else. Although they would probably get other perks from me having the money.
I would probably keep working otherwise I would get really bored plus I have an interest in the company I work for so it would be daft to stop. But I would buy myself a stake in the firm and a lot of extra holiday.
Happiness. Is 45M enough for that?
the way this thread looked from 'forum view' was both question and answer to me.
What would be the first thing you would buy if you won £45m? Haribo.
First thing I'd do as new owner would be to ban any of those crappy spongy things and demand more monkeybollocks and french ticklers in each bag of tangfastics.
Then I'd buy my own private dentist.
Pint of beer.
Hit squad

Then we could all live in peace 🙄
+1 for the beer
Start looking for that elusive house 5 minute walk from a decent beachbreak and 15 minute ride from some decent singletrack.
Also take great delight in telling the MD that I have slightly more money than him. 😆
A bank to put it in..............don't trust banks me!
New pair of socks every day would be my ultimate fantasy.
I like new socks.
I'd also like a deep sea submersible house thing, like that one in James Bond.
I think I might get a new BB for my bike. The old one is squeaking a little, so I think it is due for a change. Maybe even go for something better than the XT one I was planning to get.
Other than that, I think I might treat my wife to a nice meal out somewhere nice. Like New York. Or Rome.
Then I'd think about skiing. For the next four months or so.
Job lot of sintered brake pads for the Peak locals, like a skip load in different configurations to be handed out free in caffs around Hope, Edale etc.
I'm curious alpin, whats wrong with the pharma industry?
I mean, assides from prety much eradicating measles, smallpox, TB, mumps, rubbella, unwanted pregnancy, cervical cancer (hopefully), and developed treatments for pretty much every illness you've ever had or are likely to have, whats it ever done to you?
As for what I'd spend it on,
A race track, probably Donnington 😀 and build a massive house in the middle of it (I love the smell of petrol in the morning). Then I'd spend the rest of my life doing whatever I feel like, if I wake up one morning and feel like walking to the north pole, the so be it 🙂
Buy STW and run it my way?! 😆
Buy a section of woodland, build my own playground and never ever let anyone drive logging machines all over it and turn it into liquid tree mud soup. (local loop just got trashed)
Another lottery ticket
Very first thing would be a BMW R1200GS Adventure with all the add ons. Then a house with a nice big garage to put it in. Then a car, but NOT a BMW a Merc or an Audi. I might be loaded but I'm not a tosser.
Then I'd get my GF anything she wanted and then send cheques to my closest friends for a couple of Mill each.
I'd also be tempted to buy a controlling share of the company I work for and sack all the bosses for incompetence.
If it was right now - book out a hotel/chalet in Canada for a couple of weeks and take a group of close mates snowboarding to celebrate - everything paid for and buy them all new boards and kit. Leave my job and then think about setting up a small business with my brother and help my parents build their dream house.
Now if I could just remember where I put that ticket....
what bigsi said except my hit squad would be a private army employed with the sole purpose of patrolling the country listening out for the word 'x factor'
on hearing the word they would flip out and windmill into the perpetrator holding sharp things in their hands.
there would be no exceptions and the killing spree would culminate in me locking simon cowl in a room with a bottle of rohypnol, a video camera and the murderer bloke from the film 'seven'
robots would do actually, big oppressive looking robots.

That's worrying! 😆

[donates a tenner to the cause]
A notebook, a pen & a ticket to somewhere hot with a nice beach. For a fortnight, to do some serious planning.
cheryl cole's phone number.
once all the 'x factor' fans had been removed i would venture out of my command post on my bike and ride through the nearest city in a post apocalyptic stylee, possibly listening to Beethoven Symphony No.6 very loudly
I'd buy a frigate with Apache attack helicopter on the flight deck, full crew and a detachment of Royal Marines.
Then I would set sail for the Somalia coast and go pirate hunting. That should keep me entertained for a year or so.
Oh, the rest i would put in a high interest account till I returned to be knighted. 😀
[i]go pirate hunting.[/i]
booo hiss. Pirates rock. I'd buy some pirates and go Marine hunting.
I'd spend quite a long time at that Flying School in Russia where you can fly in military jets - http://www.su-47.com/packages/
I like the Spitfire/chav hunting idea though as well. 🙂
you can head up the airborne wing of my x factor oppression army crazy-legs
oh, and I'd have a word with Trout and set up Troutlight Inc (and i've not even bought one...... yet....)
and, I'd sort out the bearing on MrPotatohead's 5 - they we're squeaking worse than grandma's old rocking chair on the Marple ride yesterday..... 😉
Pirates rock. I'd buy some pirates and go Marine hunting
You would have to buy a lot AndyP. A 50cal. with 200 round mag would make a mess of a RIB with half a dozen Pirates! How much of that 45m are you willing to waste? 😉
spend it all on those tiny little cars (think they are made in india) and have them limited to 65mph. give them away for free so they clog the roads up even more so those other lottery winners can sit in their lambos in slow moving traffic pondering the british love affair with the motor car.
i'd buy the m25 and make it the london equivalent or the nurburgring with a minimum speed and pit stops 🙂
[i]You would have to buy a lot AndyP. A 50cal. with 200 round mag would make a mess of a RIB with half a dozen Pirates! How much of that 45m are you willing to waste[/i]
in English please?
One big boat. Pressgang a lot of the crew. Pick up some cheap cutlasses and cannonballs on ebay. Job lot of rum and parrots. Can't cost that much. I'd sit on my desert island on a huge pile of Haribo making necklaces out of Marine fingerbones.
I'd buy a massive plot of land and build my ultimate playground: 2 BMX tracks (indoors and out), 4X track, dirt jumps, 2 Go-Kart tracks (indoors and out), etc.
I'd also buy a rock band style tour bus so my team could travel to races all over Europe.
Now which SLR should I get?

I actually laughed out loud at that! 😀
AndyP - i'm looking for someone to head up my x factor oppression Navy, would you be interested, you'd have to be a pretty good aim with a cannon, that cheryl crow is a skinny one.
