Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

£100.000 or 100.000 Euros - If pounds I would emigrate to OZ or NZ - and "NEVER" return to the *cough* UK!

I think I'd go for something along the same lines as Andy.
POssibly a seafront home in Apollo Bay, Victoria.
Or somewhere in Southern New Zealand.
Maybe.

I'd finance a 30 minute animated movie, clean up at the Oscars, then grow a ponytail and blow my fortune on Cocaine.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

With what's left I'd buy a place in Spain, near Cordoba.
Spain? What's so good with Spain.? I love Portugal or Madeira ;D
There's probably something to do with the weather, and sitting outside a bar in the Sun, enjoying a cold (and I mean real cold) beer while you eat some "tapas"

The most beautiful part of Cordoba, though, is not Roman, but muslim, as the muslims lived there for five centuries, and it was their Capital for almost 300 years... They built the most impressive palaces there. Specially Medina Azhara (which is but a ruin now) and the Mosque.

If you want to have a look at Cordoba, or some other andalusian towns, check

http://www.jorgetutor.com/spain/andalucia/andalucia.htm

While you are at it, try the Alhambra pics (Granada)

(or try a quick search in Google... that's where I got that from!!)

Not to say that Portugal is not wonderful, after all, it WAS part of Spain for a time... *ducks*

But I guess I'm not impartial... ;) :innocent: :innocent:

I'd buy the big funny castle-like building in the middle of the Westermaarkt, in Amsterdam (they're using it as a so-so cafe now). I'd become a prince of darkness, and only go out at night, in a leather trenchcoat. I wouldn't wear clogs, or people would hear me stalking around. I'd try to attract some impressionable flunkeys (if that wasn't possible I'd buy a big dog or two). I'd write awfully dark novels, and bad poetry (publishing the former, and hiding the latter). I'd hang around with speedfreeks and get raided by the police, but no-one would be able to link me with any particular crime, and I would declaim this persecution on the basis of my minority lifestyle. I'd eat lots of ham and cheese sandwiches, and drink tomato juice, and read the paper a bit. I might fly over to watch Chelsea sometimes. I'd lend Andrew some money to make a record, but wouldn't hold out much hope. Have I spent it all yet?

I am a Roman history buff so that's what attracted me to the spot in the first place. But I do know about the Moorish influence, which makes Cordoba a great place for my next holiday...that is if I can take time from my work next year. :roll: :roll: My client is implementing a new financial system and I am afraid the timing of it will preclude me any holiday time! :evil: :cry: And I think Andalusia is so beautiful, and yes cold beer hot hot sun, and tapas. :wink:

Then you probably would prefer Merida! They can't build anything new there, as soon as they start digging, some roman ruin comes up, and they have to stop building.

That's also quite near where I live, so I could even give you a guided tour... :)

Just drop me a line if you decide to!
;D

Can I go with you? Please please please? I actually remember 1981....LOL it was a really good year. And I was in love in Billy Idol. I am not kidding!

EBG..strikes again! And believe me..I'd kick that SOB boyfriend I had between....er um sorry I'll behave now. :wink:
Of course you can!Everyone's invited. :D Apart from being such a great year for music 1981 is very special to me as my younger brother was born then.See. :wink:

Actually I've always had a soft top for Billy Idol.I quite fancied him around the time of the 1990's "Charmed Life" album.That "Cradle Of Love" video is just splendid.One of my favourite videos ever btw. :P

What else can you remember from 1981?Let's remiscent that rather gorgeous year!
