Look, me and my consortium have bought £137million of tickets to make sure we win. S'mine. Gerroffit.

poliss · July 05, 2011, 03:01:43 PM

My strategy is to buy ten thousand tickets using the same numbers, so even if you do win I still take the lions share.

I've consulted my crystal ball and I'm going to win.

Then I'll buy up all the limited editions of railway stuff that the manufacturers come out with.
Then keep it for a while and then sell it on Ebay to mugs with deep pockets. Make even more money!

The bankers will then get jealous as I'll have more money than them.

(I also tell lies

and can talk a lot of old twaddle!

Hmmm - I didn't see that one coming

The £166,000,000 winner comes from Ayrshire. Any of our members from Ayrshire?

If they were they've probably left the building (or bought it)

£166,000,000 is pretty poor compensation for living in Ayreshire !!

I hear the winner has bought his wife a new set of golf clubs.... St.Andrews, Carnoustie, Wentworth and The Belfry.

I heard he had bought her a little place just outside Ayrshire.........

called Lanarkshire.....

I saw them both on the news tonight and I wish them both well. They are a semi retired couple and deserve everything. Funnily enough they are now ranked 430th richest in the UK. They now have more wealth than Sir Tom Jones. All the best to them

I bet they won't be building a railway bridge on the Aln Valley Railway though, or bring out a new DCC system, or new points that don't need altering to make them work properly. I was even going to manufacture scale points for the Protofour modellers. I was thinking of buying Hornby too and making the Select DCC compliant. If I had a bit of money left over I was going to build a super A4 called the AX and break the world speed record for steam locomotives.

Sorry Poliss - Citroen beat you to the AX but no way would it set any records. The AX GT was a neat little motor, though

The X as in Roman numerals.
