What insanely self-indulgent thing would you do regularly if you had the time and the money. I'm talking ridiculously indulgent, so much so that you probably wouldn't actually do it even if you had the time and money

Probably get a nice haircut, buy a hamburger, something like that.

Not self-indulgent enough 1/10. Please resubmit, answers must be longer than 200 words.

First, I would skip merrily through a nearby shopping mall dressed as a manatee. Then I would hurl myself through the plate glass display window of a carpet shop and buy their entire stock. Swathing myself in faux-Turkish splendour, I would purchase a large machine gun and use it to gain entry to a matinee performance of La Boheme, where I would squat froglike on the music stand of the lead trombonist, periodically shouting Romanian swearwords at the conductor. Following this, a light lunch and a flight to the Sudan, where I would seek out as many giraffes as I could find and deface their flanks with slogans advocating the mild and gradual reform of the taxation system. Upon my inevitable arrest, I would thrust both hands down the official shorts of the arresting officer and sing loud, tuneless, impromptu calyspos all the way to the station, where I would show them the forged Diplomatic Immunity documents I had cannily obtained from the Forged Diplomatic Immunity Shop next to the carpet store. I would be on the next plane home, and

A much more imaginative effort. Eleventy-six/10.

I'd hire a cinema and host a chinese movie cinematic event, proper movies like Evil Cult, God of Gamblers, Young and Dangerous, not those artsy poop ones like Crouching Tiger.

I'd have a huge ass cinema screen installed in my back garden, buy a projector, and have all my mates over for the footie every time a match is on telly. Inclusive of BBQ and many crates of beer.

I'd have Italian food at least once a week and have weekly beauty sessions at Selfridges, where I'd also spend a lot of money on clothes.

I'd have a fry-up every Sunday.

I'd spend one weekend per month in Germany, and one in Cornwall.

I'd...geeze, I could go on forever :)

I would built up my very own medieval farm house. Buy an old one somewhere in the eastern part of Germany (because those tend not to be overmodernized) and make the whole thing look really medieval, hide all the new stuff. Of course we will have a huge TV and DVD and wLAN and all that stuff, but it will be nicely hidden behind wooden panels that can be swung aside :)
There will be a weaving workshop and a scriptorium and we'll have rare breeds of sheep, goats and chickens etc. And will have a huge dog that will guard the farm and loads of cats.
Maybe we'll even find several houses in one place with a farm and we could open up a tavern too. A medieval tavern of course.
I have some friends who'ld like to join on that project...we even discussed playing the lottery...but a maths teacher had us calculate the chances and what it would cost to play all possibilities and since then I dont believe in playing lottery any more.
and yup, I know that will be loads of work, but I wanna do it. someday I will. (and I probably wont...)
