A word of advice when dealing with nuisance neighbours. Rush out of your house dressed as a plague doctor wearing a beaky mask. Works a treat. They don’t come back. Better if you arm yourself with frogs and leeches and threaten blood letting.
Tonight's (8 December) jackpot on the EuroMillions is £201 million. £201 million!!!! That prize is *obscene*. No one person should be able to win that amount. Apparently it is the highest the jackpot has ever reached, but not the cap. The cap is £240 million (though that may be Euros) and I don't know what happens if it reaches the cap. £201 million is not a jackpot, that's the sort of money reported on the news as a government project (or waste, if you've been listening to the news today). The main point is that £201 million is not a life changing amount. (Unless of course you are already a fabulously rich sportsman taking Saudi money and claiming that it will be able to set up your family for life, when you already have.) £1 million is a life changing amount for most of us. So far better perhaps would have a £50 million cap and when it reaches that you make 50 millionaires. Or something like that. People with £1 million might also be more likely to spend their money on stuff that would benefit others.
I’d love to have £201m. The **** I’d do (waste) with it would be fantastic. Documentary worthy too, “the rise and huge fall of DH, from £201m lotto winner to broke bum in a year”.
Sounds like you would go with the George Best approach...he spent most of it on booze, smoking and women and squandered the rest.
Pretty much, albeit less of the smoking for me, can’t stand it. I wouldn’t be entirely reckless, mind. I’d do a Brendan Grimshaw and buy a private island with the aim of expanding wildlife numbers… …. and to partly get away from people.
I'd use the bulk to buy Richarlison, Ndombele and Sessegnon out of their contracts and give the rest to @remembercolinlee to enjoy a quiet retirement free of piss socks.
Actor Andre Braugher has passed away after a short illness. He was 61. Most people will probably know him as Captain Holt from Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I first saw him as Detective Frank Pembleton in Homicide: Life on the Street in the early 90s. RIP.
That was a very underrated film. Denzel Washington was excellent and won an Oscar, but you never see it on 'best of...' lists
As a young man, he played Detective Munch's Baltimore P.D. partner in an episode of Law & Order. Needless to say, he was excellent in it. RIP
Munch was played by Richard Belzer, who also passed away this year. The character is responsible for a lot of ludicrous crossover ****. The main one is that loads of US TV series are the product of an autistic child's imagination. That's down to the ****ing stupid ending of St. Elsewhere. A kid imagined it in a snow globe. The count is currently at over 400 shows, including Sesame Street. please log in to view this image
