LET YOUR IMAGINATION run riot.
If money and time suddenly were no longer an issue, what would you spend your life playing at?
If you don’t have a dream, how are you going to have a dream come true? (Our sincere apologies if that song is now embedded in your psyche for the next few days.)
Everyone has a little fantasy stashed away – the kind of daydream that gets you through Monday mornings during a tough commute or up out of bed on a dark and rainy morning in January.
The good stuff: running away to travel the world or finally getting cracking on that project you’d always imagined.
Open a little B&B off the beaten track? Or maybe hit the books and retrain as an architect like you’d always dreamt about?
We asked some staff in Journal Media Towers what they’d do with their lives if money was no object, and this is what they came up with…
I’d go to a game in every Major League Baseball stadium in the States.
The ultimate home run. And this staffer certainly thought outside the box with their dream career. Indiana Jones anyone?
I’d finish up my archaeology degree and travel around the world buying up historically-interesting sites in order to dig them up.
Inventive, that.
An old school music-lover in our team told us this:
I always said I’d open a record store which in these days is definitely something you’d only do if you won the lotto! But I’d want to travel the world and write that book beforehand…
And as for the more technical-minded in our team…
I would buy a shed in the sticks and live in it and spend my days doing stuff like welding and drinking beer.
And of course with so many writers in our midst, it’s hardly surprising this little dream got a mention:
I’d sit at home drinking gin and pretending to write a novel.
And the rest of the Journal Media bods had lots of other ideas – from bringing three top horses to the Global Champions Tour, spending the rest of their life on one long holiday, and even starting a foundation dedicated to teaching children to be kind to animals and opening a massive animal sanctuary. Aw. Bless.
Tonight’s Lotto jackpot is an estimated €10m. With that kind of money, you could chase your wildest dreams – after all, there’d be no reason not to, right? Whatever your dream is, this could be your opportunity. #TimeToPlay

Ulster looked a lot better tonight. They’re obviously far from the finished product but it’s a positive sign that they can string together more than five consecutive phases in attack. That young academy scrum-half Conor McKee was very good and his kicking from the base of the ruck was very accurate all match. Stewart Moore was excellent at fullback again and set the platform the Ulster backs by winning the contest in the air from kicks excellently. I cannot be stated enough how much Ulster needed this win. After losing 8 out their last 10 matches, it was crucial that they got any sort of victory tonight to keep their chances of making the URC knockout stages alive and they managed to do that. Even though I’m a Leinster supporter, I’ll still cheer for Ulster whenever they play anyone else.
Ireland needs to step up and step up and invest all the apple money into the Ukraine war effort. Time to stop being such pansies and fight:
@Basildon Joe: for a moment I thought you were going to suggest invest in Ulster rugby
@You Cant Be Serious: is Joe really English ? They seemed to be a bit smarter than that when I lived there.
@Basildon Joe: Time to accept that supporting Ukraine properly will have a cost and the Apple money isn’t done sort of endless free well of money. I’m happy to pay it but are you?
@Basildon Joe: So keen to send Irish kids to Ukraine to die why not do us a favour and head there yourself? Hopefully the Russians do us a favour

Yet again the uk leading the war effort, we always win!
@Basildon Joe: yawn
