Salutations my dear OP friend. I find myself with a problems and am thinking we could help each other.

You see I am a British prince, you will be aware that Britain is a very corrupt country. I made millions selling false teeth to my countrymen but I cannot leave the country with the money.

If you can send me £10,000 I can be facilitating sending you 31.7 millions of pounds which I will split 50-50 once I enter your fair and just country. I have always dreamed of coming to Nigeria, I hear it is a very just and fair place.

Please be replying soon as I have offered this deal to a select few other people.

Your faithfully

Prince Puppies.

Do you cook? Expirement with sous vide.

 

[RaistlinZ]

Find a way to make this a reality. :awe:

 

[Azraele]

Jimmy, if you're bored, find something that challenges you. Toys are fleeting. Sounds like you need a passion/hobby.

 

[Arkaign]

You should start a private army and undertake a coup. Make your own country

 

[Albatross]

Hexacopter and shit.

Spend money on experiences rather than things?

 

[badb0y]

What exactly do you do, lol?

 

[BladeVenom]

A cat, or if you want to step it up a notch, a Serval. I think they are even native to Nigeria.

This!
Spend your money on adventures... Go climb K2 or get an older model Land Cruiser and just travel across Africa.

Give something to a good political group - Amnesty International, Wikileaks, and so on.

As for a toy, get a girl.

funny posts - good humour - cheers

have a nice Benin French chef at home - wont intrude on his space -don't enjoy cooking - I am an eater.

negative on animals or pets - do not like responsibility

travelled 2 years - below snapshot 75% of my tavels - facebook places... minimum joy in it now - tired of planes million miles since 2010

no intention to grandstand or sound ungrateful - genuinely just friggin bored - picked up GMAT books.. that and sky diving have me excited... potentially writing a book - but ADD will be the demise or proverbial dagger of that plot i'm sure..

Roguerower - will PM you - VT class of 2003 here - coming to DC for 10 days starting aug 18th.

what do I do? nothing cool - a corporate lacky at best..

 

[JImmyK]

It has been 3 months - I bought a lot of crap... didn't work..

Finally realizing the experiences part is true...

Decided to settle down and get married - let us see how this family business works out Dec 20th is the wedding date - will post update in February 2014.

"Bored...so I got a wife."

Buy a "refurbished" 8-bit Nintendo with a new/replacement cartridge connector...the original "toaster" model with better-quality composite AV output (game cartridges insert from the front). Get a couple standard controllers and an NES Advantage joystick.

Super Mario Bros. 1-3
Ninja Gaiden
Batman (Sunsoft)
Megaman series
Metroid
Zelda 1/2
Punch Out!!
Castlevania
Contra
TMNT2

...or do something similar with SNES (use an S-Video cable for best video quality).

Nothing beats the authentic experience.

Build a dungeon and stock it with prisoners.

 

[KlokWyze]

[JImmyK]

Believe it or not after everything getting a Dog was the best idea - been 2 years what a fantastic experience - totally love the little guy.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Lol I was reading through this thread thinking it got necroed by a spammer, but OP delivered and updated it years later.

Cute dog!
