Gemmill

For people that are supposed to be happy, they've got a bargain bucket full of hatred. 173571[/snapback] Not your average yank on the street, I don't think.

Should've employed the Dean Jones approach tbh.

I'll be getting a lottery ticket tonight btw. Keep your fingers crossed - I'll cut you all in on a toontastic holiday in the Bahamas.

I agree in the main but - I've won money and appreciated it more in a way. Your earnings go straight into the bank and you don't really see them whereas on the odd occasion I've fleeced the bookies I've probably felt better about that money than I would otherwise. I appreciate gifts too which are sometimes money/vouchers and in those circumstances I tend to buy something I wouldn't normally buy, as a treat. Also, do you reckon people who have their lives improved by charitable donations are unappreciative? 173489[/snapback] If you're generally working for your money, you'll appreciate anyh money that comes in, but if you've got a lot and don't have to work for it, it all ceases to have any real value. I also think people quickly forget how hard they once worked for it once they've got it; they stop appreciating what other people are going through etc. 173494[/snapback] That's what I meant and no I wasn't on a wind-up Gemmill you dick wad! Why is Shearer happier in all likelihood than Dyer? One reason would be I'm sure because he has earned his money and had some impact on the world. I concede I may be talking bollocks like. 173506[/snapback] There's a difference between being able to fully appreciate the value of money and being able to enjoy being loaded tbh. If someone handed me £10m tomorrow, I'm sure I'd lose sight of the value of money and spend uncontrollably for a while, but I'd enjoy doing it. I'd gladly take my chances with a lottery win to test your theory. I reckon if you won the lottery you'd stretch to a new pen to write your medical stuff with and maybe upgrade the car you've got to one with leather seats. And you'd get a new bathroom suite. That would be the extent of the change to your life. 173517[/snapback] Not much chance of me winning the lottery as I boycott the idiot tax. I like luxuries in my life as much as you, and I'd get the house etc. But I'd have to have some focus. And my main point is, money does not necessarily equate to happiness, quite the contrary in fact, which has been shown time and time again. For instance, why is the UK one of the wealthiest nations in the world and also one of the most miserable? 173560[/snapback] Your presence here has to be significantly raising the average miserableness level. The weather doesn't help here - although we do moan whether it's hot or cold, I suppose. The US is richer than us though, and I consider them a happier nation than us. Perhaps that's because they're more money-focussed though. I dunno. I still reckon winning the lotter would change my life significantly for the better though.

The best line in that film is the one Del Toro delivers in the line-up.

He insists that you talk to him in an Indian accent? Does he give you pointers? Give him my number, he sounds like a laugh. 173543[/snapback] "Oh golly golly gumdrops. I am not wanting the toucan telecom, I am not needing the toucan telecom, and I will not be changing to the toucan telecom."

If no one who can get to the ground volunteers, I'll try and get you one on the phone/online Isegrim. 168691[/snapback] Thanks, I might come back to you then (even if have to provide pink wine/beer). 168694[/snapback] Sorted, Fritz. In the gallowgate. £34! Enjoy!

Toucan Telecom keep ringing me from India and it does wind me up when I tell him that I don't want to talk to him, and he insists that I do in an Indian accent.

Never seen it. Just added it to my list. The beauty of online DVD rental.

Glengarry Glen Ross. Class Film.

What's it about?

Tosspot Oliver reckons we're ready to open talks with Martins, and that we're already discussing terms with Gravesen. We shall see.......

Well lookie here, looks like we got ourselves a coupla junior Klansmen in this thread!

60-40 that you don't go down. That's about as good as it gets in real life, I would think. This isn't "Heat", Dave.

What would you do with a million in cash though? It's a bit suss to go and pay it in to HSBC and I can't imagine you'd be able to buy a house in notes. 173455[/snapback] You could pay for holidays in cash without raising too many eyebrows. Convert cash into foreign currency for travelling. Spend it in the pub. I reckon you could feasibly buy a car with cash. I could get my loft conversion done and pay for that in cash (exciting!) 173469[/snapback] buy your foreign villa for cash, that gets rid of some questionable cabbage 173473[/snapback] I'd go and see bobby for further tips.

Are you on the wind-up, you great big knobhead?

3 are amateurs tbh.

I've barely seen him play, but that's been my impression too unfortunately. He certainly looks very hit or miss.

You're not going to get work with the Spastics with that attitude! 173436[/snapback] Work with? They'd be working FOR me tbh.

What would you do instead? 173420[/snapback] Watch telly and stuff. Nah, travel. See the world. Do what I wanted to do instead of what work dictated. Maybe some voluntary stuff. 173422[/snapback] You'd risk going to prison to do voluntary work? 173431[/snapback] I'm risking prison to do as I please, you cripple!

If I had enough money to not have to work, I'd be significantly happier tbh.

Why like, does he drive like a woman?
