If I won the lottery, I'd...

...first of all pinch myself to make sure I was actually in receipt of the winning ticket!!!

Can you imagine the panic and fear of getting to the head office though to redeem your ticket, you'd be constantly checking as you made your way there - oh imagine if you somehow lost it on the way!

What a nightmare that would be, scrambling round like a mad man looking for one slip of paper which would change your life forever - and I don't care what anyone sayd, it would change your life forever.

So, what would I spend it on?

Well, first off I'd buy a big holiday for the wife & I, and constantly treat her now that I could afford to do so - right that's the brownie points scored, now for the real world!

I think I would firstly - after getting it in the bank of course - go into work, try to keep as calm as possible, and just keep it a secret as long as possible - mind you if that worked, I wouldn't want to be sitting in my job for another four years whilst I was sitting on this goldmine, so I'd put a limit of a week on it, before I finally revealed all.

I would then leave work, and set up my own business.

One dream I always had was to set up my own radio station, and enjoy doing that, and I'd make sure that they covered my local club Chester City FC as much as possible, in fact I'd probably re-name the station to Chester City FM.

Would I set up Chester City TV?

Yes, probably, I've already made a start on that one - see here - but obviously I'd take it to the next level.

Other things...

Okay, I'd buy a bloody decent motor, I'd quite fancy a Ferrari, or a Lambourghini, boys toys and all that, you'd just have to buy one of those being a male millionaire.

I'd also keep the Vulcan Bomber flying for another few years, if you don't know what that is, check it out here, with one of the best sounds ever to grace the air, and it's the world's last remaining airwothy Vulcan.

What else?

Hmmm, okay, I'd buy Blogger, only joking, I don't think a lottery win could cover that one!!!

I think I'd invite all you Daily Banksy followers round for giant booze up, and that would include a free taxi home, even for those in the US!

I'd also look to buy an island in the Maldives, paradise on earth believe me, and the staff there are on a pittance, so they too would be treated.

Finally, I'd bring about World Peace - oh no hold on, that's a different competition, and I don't think I'll win that one somehow!

So, what would spend your money on?

What's going on in the world today?

Yes, it's the start of another Blog, and the intention of this one is to just type anything really, anything that's going on in the world that I have an opinion on, so here goes with Day 1:

The Weather!

Everyone moans about it, whether it be good or bad, if it's chucking it down outside or if it's too hot, we always like a moan about it. Why is that?

Are we such a depressive bunch in the UK or is it just built into our nature, that we can't accept our climate for what it is???

The weathermen yesterday said that they have changed their minds over the wonderful summer we were supposed to be having, and instead told us we can look forward to an unsettled August.

Now, following this, people have been up in arms about it, some claiming poverty based on the fact that they had planned for an amazing summer of sunshine.

People in this country should know better, and the best way to check what the weather is going to be is to look through the window, if you see clouds out there, then there is a chance it's going rain, if it's blue skies, then it will probably cloud over later in the day and rain!!! =)

Oops there's that depressive nature coming in again, oh well...

There's surely more to worry about in life than the weather, we live in the UK not in the Maldives, where incidentally, I have been four times, and on each occasion, have experienced rain - so it's not even predictable there what it's going to do next!!!

Rant over for Day 1!
