a few choco bars. sometimes you win about £5 so you need to be more specific0

A good meal out, a holiday and a good accountant to squeeze every penny out of the capital.
Then I'd start spending properly. Probably try and give the local riding developments around me a significant cash boost, be nice to see the local council grovelling for the investment :twisted:It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result0 -
A house/farm somewhere in Wales - that comes with a big big hill.
Audi RS6 Avant
VW T5, custom interior specifically for MTB'ing.

First thing would be taking the paramedics out after they'd saved my ass from the shock. Then holiday for a few months and ponder.0

Ahh but you said the 1st three things.... they're there along with the fourth and fifth :P0 -
1. A house. Had enough of flatsharing and giving someone else money every month that I'll never see again.
2. All those cars I've always wanted to own and would otherwise never get round to buying.
3. A big holiday. I have friends scattered around the world that I miss being able to go for a pint with."The problem was, I was still using my eyes even though I had them shut"

I'd buy my local football club & balance the books, build the new stadium we need (it's only non-league so nothing major needed) and restore the pride lost through mismanagement by a certain ex-professional footballer, european cup winner and sky sports pundit who put us into mega-debt.
I'd buy a house

Depending on how much I won of course I'd be off to set up my chain of Youth Hostels starting with oone in Aberystwyth and possibly Amsterdam. I'd set up a lovely family home in Pembrokeshire, and rather than just giving out handouts to friends, I'd offer them secure employment in my chain of affordably travel accomodation, which would also include an outdoor pursuits centre.
Other things I would like to do is invest in the development of the trail centre at blaenau ffestiniog
and
Purchase both Walsall Football club and the freehold of the ground from the devil's spwan which is Mr Jeff Bonser0 -
