    So you win some $'s on Lotto and have the above amount to spend on PM's what would you purchase and how ?

    Little bits everywhere so you are not noticed by big brother?, One large buy from the Perth Mint and fly down and pick it up or pay the exorbitant Brinks secure delivery?

    What mix of Silver to Gold or just Silver or Gold, Some Platinum ?

    Based on current prices and personal expectations How much of what and how ?

    FYI Kgs of metal through the airport scanners are readily picked up and you have to open your carefully packaged parcels. Perth guards seem quite discreet (maybe happens often) but who knows?

    FYI my 90 KG of silver and 2 KG of Gold would probably not fit in my pockets, I do have a little bit of a gut but I doubt any pocket's would fit it in. I was more thinking a flight down and leisurely drive back home bordsilver.

    I'll come with you. I'll bring the beer and you can bore the shit out of me with some of your new found academic knowledge on the trip home. We can send rude messages to ladybird too. :lol:

    but it stopped at 28 decimal places so is it not recurring? (there's still more places) ;)

    Sorry shiney , but I am not a beer drinker, now tequila or vodka shot's and academic new found knowledge of the Air Hostess' attributes could be a winner :D. There really wouldn't be any point in discussing anything else on such a trip would there? Plus I know that serious discussion is not your strong point as your attention span..... oooh look shiney thing........ is not good. Still we could have some fun drinking and trolling the Ladybird with your hairy ass crack and telling her it is the average Aussie girls cleavage etc.

    It's not what I would buy though but what would anybody buy. If you won lotto and had $200k what would you buy?

    Uhmmm, 46 that trip would be something like Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas, Quite scary to say the least but funny as hell, I don't know that Ladybird would survive it all without permanent damage, shiney might till we got to the Gibb river road, W&F would probably run off into a salt lake or desert somewhere before Derby and the remainder of us would probably all end up shitfaced halfway at Humpty Doo and getting the next flight home.

    I might use that for next Fridays thought exercise. :)

    I thought of that also adze but I liked the idea of a more liquid product like Oz's or 1/2 Oz's . it would fit in your pockets also and there would be nothing the security could do about it once recognized. 1 oz of gold in a cast bar is just 2 cm wide and 5 mil thick. But think though what if in the future Silver went to $120.00 an Oz ?

    You could always swap it into fractionals later ;)
    Rather move around with 4 bars than 128+ coins...
    And at $120/oz that's still less than 4k/kg
    If gold wentup 400% too, you'd be walking around with over a million concealed :D

    Sorry luv but there are rules and regulations when it comes to road/camping trips, Canagate and Skullabog are but two of many which must be adhered to. Every gate opened and closed means a new can of grog, every bogged vehicle means the skulling not only of the open can but a new one upon exiting said bog. Failure to abide by the rules leads to all the crappy camping chores, dishwashing, collecting firewood, packing, tidying the camp, collecting bait and emptying crabpots, ordering and delivering food at takeaways while on the hard top etc. Sometimes there are no bushes to dive behind for miles and miles and miles

    Ha business class could probably buy another Oz or two of Gold here and back. If I was you i would pay some of that towards melting it into something to avoid the VAT, 1 kilo clog's or something :). Good to speak to you again LB XXX
