If you had become ridiculously rich. Wouldn't you get bored in the end?

[Pat Vegas]

There is only so many holidays, shopping, playing golf you can do.

I am talking monies where you really don't need to work again at all. and the interest on your money is so good you don't ever really run out.



Let's say you have 200 million. But not enough to buy a football team for example

[ITSUPFORGRABSNOW]

Not to mention other temptations

[Free SL]

In Europe alone I reckon there is a good 5 or so years worth of weekend trips to see things, as well as 1-2 week holidays.

maybe do bit of property investment in a minimal way and call it a job i.e buy a beach house or chalet get someone to do it up, use it...maybe flog it if i remembered....bit of mountain biking.. write a book or two..bit of painting...i'd be less bored than i would be bored of working now! jesus half empty with you isnt it ? only the boring would be bored imo

[Pat Vegas]

[Snin]

[Peter]

But youcan basically afford to do whatever you want. I would be willing to risk the odd moment of boredom :-)

All your friends asking for/resenting your money might be the bigger worry

[Pat Vegas]

I'd probably just jump from one gimmick to antoher.

I'd probably just one day by **** loads of trainsets and see how big I could make the line through the house.

Then bin them all when I am finished.

[Pat Vegas]

and be a bit intimidating to the staff.

[Snin]

[Pat Vegas]

employ about 8 people.

ON the first day i would say ok you should all know what to do. Please prepare a report for friday. But would not tell them what it is they had to do or even what type of business it was.

Then I would see what they come up with.

[Pat Vegas]

you could even cast yourself in them.

think of the possibilities.

[Snin]

[Snin]

:-)

[Pat Vegas]

challenge.

research the tube. post on awimb all day for me.

See you later.

tomorrow I want a report on who would win a fight between superman and Hercules .

[Red N White Army]

[Snin]

[Monty91]

or at last take them on holidays and stuff.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Charity work etc.

[Jake]

[Pat Vegas]

if you spend it all that's it.

i'd limit it to only my parents/ brother and perhaps grandfather

[Pat Vegas]

[Peter]

Not all of them you would hope.

Money is going to bring its own obstacles but nothing like the problems of not having it.

[Monty91]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

c**t wears sunglasses indoors.

Immense ****er.

[Pat Vegas]

in.

like a euromillions jackpot. maybe the new found wealth would drive you apart.

You'd have to find your own things to do at least. Otherwise it would be like being on holiday 365 days a year.

[Peter]

A bill, the car f**king up, losing your job etc...... Would be nice to remove all of that stress wouldnt it :-)

Then you need to actually find something else to worry about. In a funny way i find it harder not to smoke when flying business class. In economy i have plenty of other things to worry about

[Monty91]

for something as awesome as coming into loads of money to actually drive you apart.

Not that it wouldn't present its problems, but like I say....****s,etc.

[Peter]

You could both do whatever you wanted.

In my situation, i think we would both be off within the week :-)

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

But it's a photo shoot.

I passed Bono a few years ago going into the f**king cinema with his shades on.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

How very bizarre.

[Monty91]

about doing some stuff for them in exchange, an they've said it's possible, but will come down to availability on the day.

I was intending to wear nice comfy shorts for the flight. I'm guess ing that won't really cut it? http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/ohwell.gif

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Probably an aim to get monies from chaps who do that sort of thing i.e. buy things that are aligned to celebrity.

[Luis Anaconda]

[Classic Jorge]

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

This is shocking.

[Monty91]

and that is not a condition you would associate with boring people.

[Snin]

[Luis Anaconda]

a dull white t-shirt :-(

[Luis Anaconda]

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

I would build the world's biggest Scalextric track

[Luis Anaconda]

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

Kirsten Dunst :love:

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

You, above all, have sacrificed a large part of your life, and money, in aiding these people.

[Monty91]

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

It's Kirsten Dunce FFS, she's wonderful

Upgrades are normally based on tier miles/points/status. I believe there are other notes that can go on the system but i know nothing of this.

In my experience upgrades are fairly predictable in the main. The same people get upgraded under the same circumstances, ie people with a high tier status on crowded or oversold flights.

A friend tells me he usually gets upgraded by BA at the gate rather than at check in.

I never fly BA....ever

[PSRB]

[Luis Anaconda]

with the sound up at least

[Luis Anaconda]

[Monty91]

one of their new models, the club lounge, or whatever.

Weirdly, they are now not allowed to upgrade cameramen due to a bribery law that came in last year.

Maybe I will dress smart and change in the bogs once I'm in.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I saw a television advert the other night for a dandruff shampoo featuring a premiership footballer, one who I assume would be very well paid.

[Snin]

not so much as one can only do so much

[Luis Anaconda]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Up the workers.

[Snin]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

That and 3 or 4 ex-wives or 'lovers' that I imagine require some form of monthly support.

Terrible business really.

[Snin]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

One could rattle through that many portly Irish nurses in a long weekend back in the day.

[Peter]

Fprtunately most of us dont need to e told to be pleasant to the staff :-)

I never get upgraded but that is because i fly emirates and they dont do premium economy.
