To see my nana, or more actually, to rake my son to see my nana and grandad, theyd bloody love him.

A million pounds, or even 100k

PugInTheHouse · 15/09/2022 21:16

To be honest I'd probably queue for 9 hrs for cash from £50k upwards, maybe even less actually, I mean I've queued for longer for less front row at barrier to see Take That

Instant solution to being slim/toned that lasts forever

Free botox that also lasts forever

meet Dave Grohl ❤️
a new car
a flight somewhere cool

Lapland123 · 15/09/2022 21:31

Absolutely nothing at all

EntertainingandFactual · 15/09/2022 21:37

Not a standing up queue but a 10 hr wait for emergency surgery at A&E…. No food or drink for the duration (fasting for general anaesthetic) and a very uncomfortable chair.
Even more urgent cases kept arriving throughout the day and I kept losing my place in the queue.
Never felt so ill in my life but I’d wait my turn again - saved my life.

World Peace?

A nobel one, but then what is in the galaxies, we will always need war, even if humans do find peace across the globe 🌎

cessation of species extinction for next 10 years

Depending on the type that could be an ecological disaster, referencing miracle day, mini torchwood, series as and example.

Snog Bryan Ferry. Or just stroke his face and tell him of my undying love.

or a chat with my dad.

If you're talking about Bryan Ferry in his younger days you'd have to knock me out the way first !
I'd also queue 9 hours for my dad 😔

lljkk · 15/09/2022 23:09

2 minutes with A ferry godmother with magic wand who could grant me (persistent) ability to sing well

lljkk · 15/09/2022 23:09

... wondering what sniping comment I'll get on my last post

gogohmm · 15/09/2022 23:11

Really struggling to think of anything ... certainly not to see a wooden box as unpatriotic as that is. As I live 2 hours from London it would take more time than I have anyway

Possibly a limb, life saving treatment, a winning lottery ticket £100,000+ , a chance to speak with my deceased mum. Vague but anything my children needed (emphasise NEEDED)

Aside from that absolutely nothing!!

Almost exactly what I was going to write. Health/life related (myself or family), enough money or anything my children needed. Also the being magically slim one a PP mentioned.

Oh. Shiny hair!

Bootsandcat · 15/09/2022 23:14

Sadly, the A&E, when I had sepsis… that was a long wait…
