Would you continue to motorhome if....?

[Grianan]

I’m not sure I want more stuff but with £120 million I could retire and start using what I’ve got!

 

[gus-lopez]

If you live here you wouldn't be getting 120 mill as 20% 'gambling tax is deducted from any type of win over 2500€ to anyone who is resident.
what was left I'd want to give most away apart from 10k or so. but for every euro given away there is an additional 35% 'gift tax ' to pay .
Same as U,K gift & inheritance tax are under same laws but here there is no " live so long" exemption.When you give it away you pay tax there & then.

So the only way around it would be to transfer the remaining 96 million out of the country & then apply to be a non-resident .Then I could give it away legally.

You already won life's lottery when you met your lady.

I know, she was very lucky wasn't she .

I ticked the no publicity box! Anyway, I'll still be using a motorhome to tow my rally car & all the other new ones I'll be buying with the 120 mill

Nothing would change in my life at all except maybe the odd bath in Moët et Chandon. Oh, maybe the occasional night out with Sophia Loren. And I would buy Cheltenham Town Football Club and change them into a top class, possibly even Division 1 club. I might consider building the odd hospital or funding an extra hundred ambulances, or possibly I would pay Boris 25 million to f*** off to America and not annoy me again. So not much really, my life wouldn't change.
Who is

Sophia Loren..... ​

Why does one mistress need two apartments?

Or would that be two mistresses?

We need to know.

Ah, when I say my mistress ! she doesn't currently have an apartment, just a bus shelter on the corner of the street.
I'm too old for draughty bus shelters.

I would employ a full time research team, just like they do on The BBC, they would help us plan our motor home touring routes across far flung places, arrange for local tour guides to show us around interesting places, source out the best view/experience places to stay, suss out the local cuisine, and arrange for a top chef to prepare it for us.
I would then open a Funster charity raffle on here, and invite the winners to join us on "some" of our travels (after fully vetting of course) they must like a tipple and a good laugh.
Anyway, until then I have the grass also to cut, then warm up our weekend Fray Bentos Steak & Ale Pie with chips & gravy.

I can see you have been giving this some though TinaL….

We would keep our lovely Hymer and our lovely home , maybe spend a bit on a new kitchen etc and would possibly buy a nice RV and keep it parked up in the US for frequent visits.
Our family would also benefit profoundly.

I can see the attraction Larry but Great Yarmouth on sea with 120million in the bank doesn't really roll off the tongue. Only joking yours is a lovely home in a great position..

have you not noticed how many rich people die in helicopters

Well they haven't killed me yet , but then I'm not rich

More sense than money - if they had sense they would find out that there are 16 forces acting on the rotor-had and also the risk of tail rotor failure. Also, unlike a fixed wing aeroplane, they are inheritantly unstable and require constant corrections, by the pilot or autopilot.

The pilots are not rich but they usually die too - not much protection around them.

Sleep well, dreaming of owning a helicopter

Good luck with that.

They were starting to climb the ladder and the owner sold the good players and that buggered it all up ?

 

[Camping Gaza]

Do you know what, l think I may have been on this. If it’s the one that belonged to Robert Stigwood in the 80s and berthed occasionly in Bermuda. Cracking good party if I remember....

Good God man... If I had been to a party on that I would not have remembered a thing for at least a week!!

I think I was there more as a crowd filler than anything else.....

 

[movan]

Still wouldn't spend money on new motorhome at my age .. but went into a Ducatto Prestige ORION today.. two ladies parked next to me. Boy, was it beautiful. Gorgeous cream leather seats .. lovely layout .. island bed .. spacious shower .

So maybe I would splash out on one for one of my younger friends who could enjoy it.

Anyone on here lucky enough to own one?

I married an Essex girl and brought her to Norfolk to further her education

By the look of it. NO botox, NO Cosmetic Surgery. A few Freckles. It MUST be my age but that is still a natural attractive lady.

 

[Ralph-n-Bev]

I’d buy our Isabel and Isaac a house , give Jacob same amount of cash as he’s already bought one . We’d still move to Pickering , next year .
I doubt Ralph would stop work totally. I’d probably buy a tea room or something there and employ staff and pop in an out when we weren’t off in Pug.
We’d have longer trips away in Pug but not much else would change .
Apart from we’d be very wealthy pensioners once we get to that age.

That actually upsets me. I've always said it is harder for a beautiful woman to grow old. There was a comment recently about Charlie Dimmock's weight ... nothing about whether she still worked hard at her gardening business.

I think thee is a difference for a lady whose work was as an actress, but was based partly on being very good looking, so her looks were not separate from her work, unlike Charlie Dimmock.

I doubt that very much PeteH, you don't get to look like than at 84 years old without a little help from your surgeon and his fillers. Next you will be telling me is Joan Collins at 86 just uses a good night cream......

i will answer a question with a question
can you get a round the world cruise and carry your motorhome on the same ship?

So that you can use it at the final port, you mean?

Like Aer Lingus advertising a round-the-world ticket Dublin-Dublin non-stop

I didn't post it to contrast a gracefully ageing lady with her younger self. I posted it simply to show a current photo. As has been mentioned she seems not to have felt the need to go under the knife, or to inject stuff to ease the wrinkles. Maybe a lady who's comfortable in her skin?

Son, there are some who have accused your old mother here of surgery .. utter rubbish, I am too afraid ... so it appears some of our genes are good uns ... you can thank me when you are older. x

Tony, I didn't mean your post had upset me just that I think it must be hard for her to grow old ... especially with so many photos available of when she was soooooooo stunning. X
