Guest Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I know I'm a bit behind the time, but we all sat down to watch the film "Millions" the other day. It's about brothers who find a million quid - and their reactions to it. One of them is obsessed with the Saints - who appear and follow him around offering advice - the other has other ideas!! It's a bit quirky - but it's fantastically thought-provoking, very entertaining (whole family enjoyed it) and well filmed.. so if you're at a loose end over half-term - get yourself down to Blockbusters - it's Phil's recommendation of the month!

Nicola H Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Thanks for that Phil, we haven't seen it and are always on the look out for a good family film.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 We saw it at the cinema when it came out. DD2 read the book at junior school and said it was really good, so we went to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Typical - I was in Smiths earlier & they had a 2 for £12 offer on DVD's,& I got "Memoirs of a Geisha",but couldn't find another I wanted. They had "Millions",but I ended up getting "Mystic Pizza" for the girls I will look out for it on Sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard T Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 One of them is obsessed with the Saints - who appear and follow him around offering advice - the other has other ideas!! Phil The Saints? The Aussie "punk" band from the late 70s/early 80s? They were great. I've got a double cd with all their classic tracks. Sounds like a film to see. Do they play any of their tracks?

Guest Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 no - richard, sorry to disappoint you.. it's The Saints as in Southampton Football Club... Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard T Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Do they do any marching in at all? Richard T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 only at the end, and then they're joined by St Helen's Rugby League team (fresh from celebrating their historic Treble-win!) Phil or, as Count Basie might say... (in fact he does on a recording I have) "Here comes brother Higginbottom down the aisle with his Traaaambone! Blow it brother!"

Cinnamon Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I would sell buy a really nice house here - nothing mega expensive,just with more space & more land. Also I would buy a place overseas - probably on a Greek Island or The Algarve. I would get myself an AudiTT or a Range Rover Sport (in pink) ,& Brian an Aston Martin The rest (if there was any left) would be put away to get the girls through uni & to set them up later with houses Silly statement really, but a Million wouldn't go very far I could do a LOT more with say 5 Mill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 We'd just stay where we are, but pay off the mortgage, give up work (YAY ) convert our barns into bed and breakfast units (well, I'd have to do something) and invest the remaining money.

Guest Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 no - richard, sorry to disappoint you.. it's The Saints as in Southampton Football Club... Phil Just ignore Phil . . . He clearly doesn't know what he is talking about . . . or is just out to misinform you! It's very interesting reading all your plans for spending a million. I wonder if they might change after seeing the film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Buy a new house with room for donkeys, sheep, pigs and more chickens. Give some to family. Travel - book a few holidays in advance - Barbados, Africa, Australia, Japan, New York, etc etc the list goes on and on and on..... Invest rest for future.
