We've all done crazy things as teens and twenty somethings I know I have I was wild and so were my peers it doesn't mean we were bad people.. Just lads growing up. I know the shit rags destroyed a kid round our way for a long while who won 10.9 on the lottery and he was nothing like the papers painted him , my mates then wife used to work with him in fact he is worth more now 20 odd year on.

No roomark, I didn’t personally know the chap, but he had a long record of upsetting his neighbors, a list of offences for drugs and other offences. A couple of weeks ago he did an interview (I suppose for money) and admited to being a right asshole, when he had money. Now it’s all gone, he’s working delivering coal, as a means to earn money. He did give money to family and friends when he won, but after that it all went downhill. ”Doing crazy things as teens” is OK, but when you continue to act like an asshole and don’t learn from your mistakes and make people’s lives a misery, that’s when I don’t agree with your point of view. 👌 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he said he doesn't regret it he had the time of his young life for a £ . My point of view as you put it is it was in his young past and he is still getting crucified for it , which isn't on especially when half of it was only what people read in scum rags like the Sun etc etc. Edited November 23, 2019 by roomark 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in both cases my choice would sure not be Soi 6 ! Some really great replies and Thai Spirce - I would agree I would not be on Soi 6 for sure. So if you stuck in Thailand for a week before you could get home and having won millions what would you do? I’m thinking I’d find the hottest women around and from a couple of places/bars I know, get a villa near a great beach and keep rotating until there’s no more rotating to do 🤣 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegrogmonster Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Back in the early 90s I was in a work syndicate that won first division in lotto. It was worth $440,000 and we got $40,000 each. I gave my mum and brother $10,000 each. I'm not sure what I wasted the rest on but mum reckons I had a lot of freeloaders expecting free drinks everytime I went out. I drank heavily at that time so not really sure if that was the case but didn't really have much to show for the $20,000 I kept for myself.
