The Question #1: What Would You Attempt If You Knew You Could Not Fail?

Man, this is a tough one. So many wrongs to right, injustices to fight, people to help... If I'm only allowed to pick one thing I suppose the obvious answer would be: I'd buy a Euromillions ticket. A big fat bucketload of money could do so much good. One of those #130 million rollover ones.

I'd pay off all my debts, build myself a nice house, buy a couple of motorbikes, make sure my family and friends were comfortable, and then start on regenerating my home town. We could do with a nice little arthouse cinema. And I'd help Rokt out with their development. And obviously we need a brewery...

I'd keep enough back for me to live on for a while, and then I'd go back to uni and do a few more degrees. I quite fancy chemistry, having done well in my A-level. And I reckon the film studies course at Bradford would be fun too, with all that access to the media museum...

And there's so many campaigns I could help out with if I had money! Equal marriage! Electoral reform! Campaigning for real ale AND real time! I'ma stop now; this entry could get very long indeed.

I'd get Jennie to start reading my LJ again. World peace of course.

I'm suspecting that she is reading my blog to have picked up on this Meme! Glad to have spread it a bit further and into new areas. I'm wondering what the question is gonna be next month already.

If I couldn't fail?

Invent a faster than light drive.

I may have to steal this, though the idea of not failing might take me more than what's left of the day for my poor brain to get used to! :)

Also, would this brewery have a little distillery on the side?

I think equal marriage is going to make it without my help, so I wouldn't be focussed there. Electoral reform, on the other hand, clearly needs a big helping hand, and would affect so many other things positively that I'd go for that.

First thought is I'd attempt to make euphonium a mainstream instrument, so that people could make a living out of just playing.

If I knew I could do one thing no matter how complex and not fail I would probably look for a research question in genomics to have a stab at, a good one which would provide enlightenment both for medicine and evolution, given my current interest probably in functional genomics

The lottery ticket with a big win does sounds like it would make a lot of other things easier though

Build a TARDIS, of course.

Did you know that the Euromillions jackpot prize is to be capped at a mere 190,000,000 Euros? That's no good is it? Where's the fun in that? ;-)
