Well,I checked my bank balance(as long as it’s roughly what it should be,I’m not too bothered about the comings and goings). And my last total was some 300 pounds more than it should be. I’m sure I’ll find out why soon. Rent’s been paid and my tax taken,so it can’t be that. Oh well, fellow Dopers, share in my fortune. Please state how much you wish and how it will be spent…
I’m gonna do this when I win the lottery. Oh the fun of playing God and deciding who gets the cash…
Wait… you’re giving away money by the pound? Is that paper or coin? If it’s paper I’d like 50 pounds. If coin, oh, about 200 pounds would be nice.
What? Oh! Pounds like English money. Ok, I’ll still take 50.
I need it for…err… umm… hmmmm… I got it! I need it to buy a couple kegs of beer for a party I’m throwing at the retirement home. Yeah! Retirement home. He’ll buy that.
I know how that feels.When you’ve got ten pounds to last the week…Hell,if I’d blown in on wine and women it would have been my fault. But things like TV licences, electric, water, rent, food and clothes tend to be rather essential…
The lucky applicants will be notified privately in order to avoid an unseemly squabble. If you suddenly find a little pile of money waiting by the door, you’ve been successful. Either that or the leprechauns have come to thank you
I assumed this was sort of a what would you do for a small amount of money thread. If I’m wrong and you are actually giving away a few bucks, I’d like to remove myself from contention. We have some dopers here that would put it to better use then I would.
If I had the millions from the lottery, then it would be great to just hand some out to people to do daft things with just cos I felt like it.
But meh. Our pub jackpot gets to 150 quid and it’s big news…
How about taking some of that money and giving to a local shelter or soup kitchen?
If you’re still insistent on giving it away to people on the Dope, I run a non-profit organization here in Madison, WI that raises money for music education in the public schools. We do this through a local Music Awards shows. It’s not hunger or disease, but it’s a good cause nonetheless, and we give all the proceeds to the schools.
