    yes quite !!
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    I've got more than enough 'stuff', so would probably give most of the money to my children. Since I don't do the lottery, they'll have a long wait!

    Us neither. Should do the Postcode Lottery though, as our house has a unique postcode, so if it came up we'd win the lot!

    If I won the lottery I would take Louise Minchin Carol Kirkwood and Ruth Langsford to a posh hotel order drinks and put a do not disturb sign on the door ! By the way Ruth is on new series of strictly come dancing

    Lol, Michael... You might find they'd kick you out the room and have a rug-munching party instead themselves! Although, I'm sure you'd find a wee 'spy hole' to put to good use!!

    A Pioneer SX 1250 receiver or kenwood/Sansui equivalent.
    given the current rising prices of yer vintage silver stuff on thiefbay and a substantial win, might even have enough spare change for chips.

    sadly I parted with a Yamaha CR1020 AND a Sansui 8080 a few scant years before the interest in "classic" kit took hold..........I could weep!!

    I think there is a slight dishonesty here , I reckon if any f**ker here won the big one , and lets say its real big , like eye wateringly so , a small dollop would go on a dream setup.

    If you won say £8 mill, you could set up all loved ones , by a new gaff and still find £100 grand for hifi

    I would be on the phone to Nagra Audio before the cheque f**king cleared

    Honestly I don't know if you've been to Munich but as I said, it was an eye opener for me just how easy it would be to spend £100k and end up with a setup many here would consider 'meh'.
