It is a hard fact to accept but in the bigger picture our planet is very small part of the universe and this island is just a small dot. It is not capable of giving anyone permanent happiness. Owning it just feeds one's ego but like everything it perishes. What is the use of all that? If you have some extra cash and don't know what to do then think of millions who don't have basic requirements of a comfortable. Do something for them. Remember in the happiness of others lies yours.

I think its a total bargain for all that to yourself. If I were one of the lucky few who have won more than this on the Euromillions then I would make an offer immediatley. Look at the pictures and notice how far in the background the Island goes.
Without a doubt thats a bargain! If anyone wants to lend me £50 million I`ll buy it and invite everyone to come and see. (Hello Mr Gates)
