(The only clause is you have to spend it in six months)

This hasn't happened to me, i'm just bored. I think i'd go travelling for few weeks or so, to Paris firstly, the Algarve, Sicily, St Petersburg, Sweden & Southern Ireland before heading back to France, hiring a spare room in a farmhouse ran by an old couple, starting a record label, putting out a few 7"s, compilations and maybe starting a singles club. During the day i'd write pub reviews, read the papers in cafe's, watch Hancock DVD's, help them around the farm & maybe start smoking again.

A bit of travelling

Fuck loads of music equipment

That'd probably be it. Oooh, early bird tickets to a good few festivals next year too.


pay the rest of my india excursion in full

probably buy a better car and insure for a year and then buy a whole new wardrobe.


i have to spend it in six months?

that's shit. i can't use it to save for a house, pfft. whoever's given it me is clearly an insensitive prick and can fuck right off

and after i've raged, i don't think i get the money any more


This isn't emo

and therefore much better! I would go to Japan, Thailand and China.


Like it.

I'd clear my overdraft and then go to visit some friends in Australia. After than I'd come home and gather a few friends and plot a route round Europe. I'd then laze about for a wee while - a month or so - drinking nice beer and eating lovely food. Then I'd go to North America and see all the things I want to see. If I had any money left I'd buy a wee camper van, learn to drive and then follow a route round the UK meeting and greeting as many DiSers I could on the way while exploring all the great nooks and crannies of this fine country.


I'd pay my rent

it's really overdue :( I'd also pay off my overdraft, visit Tokyo and go to new york again. Buy an Ipod, give some to charity, some to my parents and my brother. I'd also go on a huge music shopping spree and buy a big stereo.


I would probibly get excited

accidently buy loads of music then go oh shit I could do something cool with all this. Then either buy more music or music equipment. Then go on holiday until I ran out of cash.


clear debts

go on holiday. sorted.


i might do this too

but i'd buy clothes and lucozade first


spend it over six months

or at any time within that period? I'd use it for a deposit to a flat or something equally boring yet practical.


spend it on..

clothes, lucozade, doing up my new student house next year, taking my girlfriend out. i'd waste it


I really don't think I could spend £10k

in 6 months. Even if I quit my job I still wouldn't be able to spend it.


Easy come, easy go

I would spend it on CD's, travelling, drugs and electronic crap I dont really need. Maybe take up an expensive extreme activity like free basing.


Go to Japan

Get an iPod
Give the rest to a landlord


puff


thanks.


Probably kill myself with alcohol and drugs

Or buy a motorbike and probably kill myself with that. In some ways it's a good thing I'm poor.
