This happens to me 2 roundabouts from home nearly every day. As I indicate left to start moving across to exit, some banana split will usually pull out enough that I have to adjust my turn to avoid them t-boning me. Or as happened today, pull out in front of me and just boot it so I had to stomp on the brakes.

The couple who won £180m on Euromillions.
I said to my wife I really want to punch them.
Not that I'm jealous.

What I want to know is why they chose to reveal themselves publicly. What on earth do they have to gain from doing that? The only thing I can think of is that people who know them outside their closest family/friendship groups will find out and be jealous, so is it essentially just the satisfaction of being able to boast about it to them? Or is there another benefit I'm not thinking of?

It's pure bragging.

If we won anything like that, there's no way in hell anyone else would know about it, unless they see me running over Tories in my solid gold rocket car.

Same here. I wouldn't actively reveal it to anyone other than my immediate family and very closest friends, and that's only because I would need to somehow explain why I'm suddenly able to take them all on obscenely-extravagant holidays.

I think they get advised to go public so they don't have to hide a secret, or get into who they tell and who they don't.

I'm sure part of that advice comes from Camelot wanting a nice little publicity shoot though.

Imagine publicly declaring you have that much money, then going on holiday and immidiately becoming a kidnapping target.

People will find out anyway but I wouldn't want to go public.

I also couldn't live with that amount of money, my friends and family will all be set up for life plus anyone who has supported me over the years.

Go public, but do it Jamaican style.

There's also a thing that if you don't go public you can only get it in small installments per month and if the value is high enough there's no guarantee you'll ever get all of it before you die.

That's not true in the UK.

I've heard talk of them giving you more financial assistance & advice if you agree to go public, but that doesn't sound like much of an issue when you can easily afford a top accounting firm to handle it anyway.

Oh wow I didn't know that, I guess it must be another country I heard that about. I thought it was a UK thing.

The Set For Life game has a monthly payment, but that's for anybody that wins whether they go public or not.

The others are lump sums whether you go public or not.

I know in America they pay big lottery wins in instalments, I don't think they have to go public though.

*runs youtube giveaway*

*contacts winner to arrange shipping of prize*

*address given, and package dispatched using an overseas signed for service which is pricey because stuff has gotten lost in transit to that country before*

*is contacted over a week later by the winner, who tells me they gave me the wrong address*

WHAT THE gooseberry fool? SERIOUSLY? :fp:

If it goes to someone elses house now, then lucky them, as they get a free keyring! I ain't sending out another one, not with postal costs as they are. :x

SERIOUSLY THOUGH, HOW THICK CAN YOU GET?

One of my older Uncles turned around today and said at a family BBQ that he thinks people with mental health problems are blowing them out of proportion and they're not doing enough to help themselves. Shot him down immediately but thank strawberry float that didn't turn into an argument strawberry floating hell.

Hardback books. Nobody wants hardback books, don't make us wait 6 months after release for the nice paperback version that actually fits in peoples laptop bag and isn't a pain to carry around with you.

I'm the opposite, I only buy hardbacks. I don't like how flimsy paperbacks are or how the spines crease.
