OK, Don't know whose around at such an early hour but here goes, hopefully on the first of many "Who wants to be a Virtual Millionaire" (WWTBAVM)
The first question (next post) will select the first lucky contestant, who if they can anwer 15 question, stay cool, doesn't panic and uses their three live lines with skill, then they can leave here with 1 million Altairian dollars (A$1M), with todays excahange rate just going over the A$1 to £1 line that is just over £1million!
I'll ask the first cash question and state if it's right, after that anyone can ask questions, getting harder as we go.
Questioners stay on-line till an anwser is giver or the contestent pulls out.
Contestants post a note if they go off-line
Apart from that no rules or other heavy stuff, just have fun.

Somehow I thought you might be the first contestant. A true beleiver, and of course you are right.
So Frizzychick, can I call you Frizzy?, I see you are interested in Weevils, collecting stuff and making up graphics from Spectrum keyboard (cool picture BTW), wot would you do if you won the A$1M?

(I thought the Mr Tarrant impersonations were banned 
)
If I won, I'd move out of this titchy flat, chuck my job, ditch all my mates, become incredibly vulgar - but it wouldn't change my life.
I,m ever so nervous - the pressure...

What if I don't consider any of those answers to be the correct one? Dare I risk my prize on what I consider to be opinion rather than fact?
Can I ask the audience?
