    It looks like being wet and miserable, so I'll be inside. I am building a few things, a Wolf WR1, and a wooden replica of a 17th Century Man-O-War. The wolf is a kit the ship is from scratch, with the details on its design and specs coming from various books and web sites. If the weather clears up I might get in a round of golf as well. Plus it's Italian GP weekend.

    Do you but lotto tickets?

    I have done regularly in the past, however I am out of the habit and so have no chance of all that money.

    What would you do if you won a huge amount? (After family and friends)
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    you're moving fast anfield.......

    Plans are the same: clean house/find a dress.

    Lol. It happened again. I fell asleep while answering anfield's q and then wake up at 2 am.
    Do you think I'll find the right dress?

    For myself. Buy a house with 4-5 acres of land to keep a couple of horse, a donkey, a goat and a Komondor (google it and smile). Spend a couple of months back in England catching up with old friends and family, then back to New Plymouth and start my own business.

    For others, I would look at setting up a trust for up and coming sportsmen to access to help them to get to the elite level of their sport, as many kids have the talent to go a long way, but simply can't afford the costs associated with this. Plus various charities would get a decent windfall as well.

    How much is too much when talking about Lotto winnings etc?

    edit: (I did a D-Type and posted an answer to a Q on the last page about week-end plans)

    After last week-ends rafting rush this will be a down w/e...we plan to shop for some clothes(and a wallet for me - I was stupid enough to take mine while rafting and everything inside got soaked!!! and the leather wallet is now weird shaped ) and then eat out and have a beer or two. Sunday nothing is planned , so maybe watch the GP, play with the little one (no footie to watch late nights)

    same Q?

    Tough one to answer. I guess there is a to big an amount, but you can always use extra for charity or helping family more, so I dare say I could cope with trying to find out

    Should I have answered Storms very late question?

    I say the right thing to do is nothing, that way you can't offend anyone

    What you doing this weekend?

    But ALL of us already answered this Q.

    Do you use to read the previous posts since your last reply?

    Obviously not!

    Ok, what would you like to do this weekend instead of what you will be doing?

    Going at the seaside, swimming for hours, getting some sun tan, getting drunk, falling in love, building sand castles, eating fried anchovies/sprats, watching the sea for hours, wandering on the dams, etc.

    What's your idea of perfect weekend?
