Back on the street emptying bins - probably the best place for him.

[Simpo Two]

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

At least the £9M is spent and therefore helping other people, for better or worse.

You can question the guys actions sure, but at least he's willing to earn an honest living - many would be too busy filling in the benefits paperwork.

[Manks]

He spent a lot of it on coke and whoors didn't he? But he must have wasted a lot of it too.

Seems that he has come out of it OK though. Quite grounded it would appear, at least from that clip.

From a millionaire to an aspiring binman.

Hats off to him, as fk ups go, that's pretty spectacular.

Nice work!

[grumbledoak]

Spent it on coke, hookers, and fast cars. Squandered the rest.

Good for him.

[HOGEPH]

Will he be doing the lottery again?

[dave328]

High points: "the hookers"

Low points: "being a crackhead"

Good lad!

Gotta be a book in this tale, sorta updated "Spend, Spend, Spend", (older readers will comprehend).
"Smack, Smack, Smack"?

[Uncle Fester]

A fool and his money...

Why do so many on PH insist on paraphrasing a dead alcoholic waster? It wasn't a particularly clever statement when he first made it and after being repeated ad nauseum it truly lacks imagination.

And I don't understand the constant "coke and hookers" answer to almost any question posed. Since the PH collective seems to be largely overweight 40-something 'IT professionals' or middle-managers I wonder how many have ever even seen cocaine or hookers outside of the movies. Grow up please.

Don't bring me into this...

[Jalopnik]

Blown £9m+ in 8 years, the Miniglands must be after him for the next Layabout party chancellor...

[Pferdestarke]

He can obviously still afford to feed himself! That's for sure.

Quite a few nasty people went after the simpletons money though.

Sure the blokes a tool, but I would suggest a fair bit of his ££££ went on menances/protection etc.

I could almost feel sorry for the guy, but I fear he courted all of his money loss himself by aligning with 'bad' people in an attempt to make himself look 'hard'

Refuse technicians earn £60k+ though don't they?
