So if you had the money...

Former Member

I was having this conversation last night. If I won the lottery, after a few months of travelling, buying a big house/car etc, I would be bored. So me and my b/f both agreed that you'd have to go to work in some form. I would like to set up my own company, maybe a charity. Don't know exactly what though!

If you were going to set up your own company, what would it be?

Erm...difficult one, i guess i'd set up a shelter and councilling program for victims of domestic violence, mainly battered and abused wives/parteners and children. But i'd also establish something for males too, men can be victims of domestic violence too <IMG alt="image" SRC="eek.gif" border="0"> I'd probably keep on policing in some form too <IMG alt="image" SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I would probably spend my town coaching volleyball, mountaineering kayaking and climbing for free. Pretty similair to what I want to do anyway really. (work freelance 3 days a week as a computer consultant - to earn money, and coach the rest of the week - for fun)

I'd like t open a shop, selling things imported from around the world, unusual stuff, maybe like stuff made by tribes.

I have it all planned out. My company will provide vintage vehicles for hire and charter, including limousines, buses, trucks (ideal as floats for fetes and galas) and even trains. (Vintage trains for main line charter). I would also like to buy the Paddle Steamer Ryde and restore it to working condition to be used as a second Waverley. <IMG alt="image" SRC="tongue.gif" border="0">
