Free driving lessons and car.
A free holiday to Japan.
The most comfortable shoes a person who works on the railway ever owned (this is an occupation-based queue) (comfy safety critical shoes have never existed for me)
A new heart. (Flipping atrial fibrillation ❤)

That should say £5 million

Nothing. I did think maybe something relating to keeping my children alive but on further thought I'd probably start looking for a chair around the 2 hour mark and by 3 hours I'd be wishing them well and heading for the nearest coffee shop.

gatehouseoffleet · 15/09/2022 17:02

Nothing. Although I have hung around in an airport for 8 hours for a cancelled and then delayed rearranged flight.

TightDiamondShoes · 15/09/2022 17:03

A done and dusted divorce.

siX. Long. Fucking. Years.

Sex with Brad Pitt......or Tom Hardy.
Happy with either.

Although, I'd have to be on the bottom, cos I'll be knackered from queuing for 9 hours

A life changing amount of money. I’m talking 1-2 million. Enough for a house, settle all debts, and have some savings

You might have to settle for spooning as I imagine they'd be tired too. Although I suppose they could alternate.

Absolutely nothing could make me queue for 9 hours. I have ADHD and no amount of Adderall or extrinsic motivation would allow that.

OneTC · 15/09/2022 17:11

Anyone that wouldn't queue for 9 hours for millions of quid is an idiot though, or they have too much of it already. It's an easy days work

DiscoStusMoonboots · 15/09/2022 17:12

A song with Brian Molly.

If it's the sort of queue where you take a number and then find a seat and wait it out, then I'm in. But I physically couldn't manage a shuffling along line queue.

HairyMothballs · 15/09/2022 17:15

Nothing at all
