I'd still be at adoption prep group (antenatal classes for adopters) - last one tomorrow! But then I think I'd be househunting, securing the futures of a couple of close friends and buying a metric fkton of high-end boccia kit. biggrin

Go to work. Pick up car. Drive to HQ. Walk into "top corridor". Into Chief Constable's office. Climb on CC's desk, pull trousers down, do a massive "Mr Whippy" st on CC's desk (preferably while the CC is there), insert warrant card at a jaunty angle into said "Mr Whippy" st in the style of an ice cream wafer, wipe arse with CC's tie, hop off desk, hitch up trousers, say "I resign", exit stage left.
vomit

That's disgusting!

Why can't you just do it in your car like the rest of the police do?

Imagine if someone did, we'd have to find a 'lottery' version of the custard test.
Custard with the winning ticket?


It's the only way.

This is what happened to Gwagon111 a couple of years ago (apart from actually winning, obviously)

Personally, I'd still be going to work. Takes about 3 months for you to get your hands on the cash.

Once I knew it was mine and available, then I'd hand in my notice.

Sign off sick. With stress.

I'd feel a bit stressed.

Try around 24 hrs after the claim is verified in most cases.

Same here, would certainly need to have a think about what the future looked like and make some choices.

You get it pretty much straight away. Certainly within a working day. What makes you think you need to wait 3 months?

No intention of selling cars, just a place to house my amazing collection of super and classic cars. It's a fantastic looking modern building.

Be on site at 8am albeit very, very hungover.

I'd work my notice on the basis that it's the least the chap who owns the business deserves. He's given me great opportunity when I was having a hard time.

After that I'd have a solid kip.

Keep it very very quiet.

Tell work I'm taking a year off, as "the wife has inherited some money".

Work my notice.

Leave.

Take a year off, spending money elsewhere. Plan my dream house.

Never wake up to an alarm clock again.


I was thinking about this today. Just had two weeks off, in which I've done nothing much. Laid in bed until gone 10am. Had a bath, a light brunch, had a golf weekend, done some other bits and pieces. All very casual, and I could be idle rich quite easily, if I had the time and the money to do whatever took my fancy. I also like the idea of spreading the wealth about, in a philanthropic way. After all, how many house, cars, boats etc can a person really use?

Put all the money in a vat of custard and get photo of PH'er in aforementioned vat..?

I'd actually work part time so my life still had some structure. Nothing strenuous, obviously... a paper round would do!
