I used to play the lottery in a work syndicate. Once had £150 share of a prize, but probably spent more. In the years I haven't played it I must have saved a lot more. Of course there's a chance of winning, but you're more likely to be struck by lightning. Some places it gets crazy with $Billion prizes. That's enough to fuck up your life. A couple of million can buy you a house and all the cars you need. I'm not that aspirational when it comes to material goods.
As for Pot Noodles, I don't think I've ever had one. Now, Cuppa-soups are a different matter. I do like those, but it has to be Batchelors. Not that I would want a vault full of them. Each to their own...
Really?! You have never had a pot noodle? And you are definitely British? That is the most outrageous thing I have ever heard! :OD
Its the fact that you have more chance of being struck by lightning that gets me. Once I read that I was done. Although, I must confess I still enter in a synidicate in work. It feels like it increases the chances somewhat!
I've never had a Big Mac either and I did used to eat meat. Plus I don't drink tea. I may actually be an alien or something.
These days I buy $HIVE instead of lottery tickets. It's also a gamble, but I think the odds of coming out ahead are better.
I can join you in that one, I have never had abig mac either. The whole concept of Mickey D's always disgusted me.
Hive is the thinking mans gamble!
