Oh, I get it...."pounds"....That funny English money.
I thought you meant like a million pounds of truffles, or a million pounds of birdseed, or a million pounds of feathers or french bread or shoelaces or something.
Let's see.....a million dollars.
Well, after I was finished paying off my credit card bills, my mortgage, my back taxes, my car, my bookmaker, my life insurance policy, my library fines, my parking tickets, and all the rest of my debts, that will leave me with about forty-three dollars.
What is that in pounds?

I dunno....those library fines can really add up when you don't return a few books for years.

I'd most deffinately develop a strong habit with Heroin, and push it as far as it could go. But why stop there? Oh, sure, why not... I've always wondered how much a couple of French concubines and a house in the pines would cost me. Well, hey. It wouldn't matter much... The financial discharge would weigh no responsibility on me, other than hiring a Portugese midget to look after my money, and make all offical transactions in my name. When all is said and done, I'd have probably pushed it to its most grim, fatal extent. What I did with the money wouldn't matter half as much as what the money did to me. And, this would call upon pondering, as I sit in a sketchy motel room on the outskirts of Vegas, drinking gasoline out of a beer-cap, enjoying a rub down from a pair of conjoined Sweedish twins, and rummaging through my plastic baggie for the last of the reds.
Ah... well, damn.

I would buy a golden statue of myself, and hire a guy to walk beside humming theme music.
Then I'd realize that I'd spent all my money on worthless crap and I'd hang myself.

Nope. I was already in debt to several Chinese loan sharks.

Either I hang myself or I get my limbs slowly cut off by Chinese people while they sing camp songs.
No thanks.

I am. With £1 million I would stick it in the bank, forget about it for a few years, and try to think of a better answer than this. In the meantime It may have risen to £1.25m or maybe even £1.5m thanks to interest!! You might be interested to note; they do say you need about £10 million to live the life of a millionaire nowadays, as it were.
