Where to go with my hypothetical money? ......

Righty i have gone in for a business grant from the University for a made up promo company, guy who spoke to me said he was very hopeful for full amount of £4000, so where do i go on holiday if i get it ?

you can buy your good ole mate markyg a laptop if you like. I will be your made up administrator for your made up company if you do!!

I would say go to New Zealand as any musical act over there is more likely to chart than one over here due to the size of the nation.

Other than that you should hire me as your HR & Procurement Manager, i'll get you good deals my man.

Would i be a complete square if i said invest it?

yes. but also sensible. unless he had pre-existing debts in which case it almost always sense to pay those off first.

Buy Rig's Keytar!

you could always meet me after work at 4 and buy me a pint"!
