How would you spend £18 billion?

[Gromit]

Would you expect more bang from you buck than this?

well, I'd give lots of it to the Battersea Dogs Home, then I'd go on a nice cruise with my hubby, make sure the kids are cared for, then I'd go back to work; it wouldn't change my way of life at all.

I'd do the sensible thing and buy 18 billion scratch cards.

[Gromit]

I think I might have spent most of it on Cancer Research UK. There was an advert on telly tonight with lots of people crying, and I hope £18 billion would dry up those tears (or pay the film company's production costs).

I would invest it in a global spread of 'blue chip' investments and gold. I would then move to somewhere warm and sunny and relax while I lived of the dividend.

tinkerbell23 - I think that the first thing you should do is take a very deep breath... ;-

[birdie1971]

^^^ Where did the 'mouth' of my 'smiley' go? :-(

[birdie1971]

I'd buy an active volcano. Then I'd hollow it out. You can guess the rest.

Who is that unmistakable image on your toast avatar. At first I tnought it was Darwin, but on cliser inspe tion, it looks luke Father Abraham. ?

[Gromit]

Maybe I should try that again without drunken fingers...

Who is that unmistakable image on your toast avatar. At first I tnought it was Darwin, but on closer inspection, it looks like Father Abraham. ?

[birdie1971]

It's definitely Darwin. I should know. I doctored the elements in my toaster myself.

Any resemblance to anyone other than Darwin is purely coincidental and unintentional.

[Gromit]

Still not convinced it isn't Father Abraham....

[birdie1971]

OK. I admit it. I've got a problem. I'm an Abrahamaholic. I can't help it. I feel the need to promote his image and an awareness of him in everything I do. I've even taken to wearing a false beard and a red bow-tie. Don't judge me you swine!
