    I had it all at one stage...

    The parties, the lifestyle...

    Bling bling!

    But...

    I blew it!!

    What can I do to get back to the lifestye I have grown accustomed to?

    Please no lame a$$ replies like buy a lotto ticket (heard so many times it hurts) or star in an XXX movie...

    Any lateral thinkers in the house?

    exert oneself by doing mental or physical work for a purpose or out of necessity; "You shold work hard to improve yor status"; " work hard for better living

    or else

    like buy a lotto ticket or star in an XXX movie...

    sell your body to medical science; it's been getting some good press lately... I think you'd be a fool not to.

    Thats not exactly what I was thinking of!!

    I feel like experiencing basking awhile in life expierences before I hand my body over to science.

    Keep in mind I make more money when I am ASLEEP than most people do in a regular work day.

    I still crave desire Europrean vacations and fast cars!!

    Send €1 to Happy Dude. He helped me.

    Or, be like the squirrel.

    here ya go: simple and easy

    lay odds on horses on betfair,they're forever getting turned over, simple to get into & easy to do.

    done.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,300 ✭✭✭CiaranC


    Less than 5% of betfair users show a profit, and of those active over 1 year, less than 1% show a profit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,091 ✭✭✭carbsy


    I'd believe that Ciaran.It's all well enough to lay horses and win but there's waaaaay too many other temptations on the site to help you waste all the profits.

    Women make more than men in those films so you could do a whole series fly on the wall with a big brother thrown in.

    do some films as a man $
    live sex change surgery $ - parts into storage
    do some films as a woman $$
    live sex change surgery $ - back again

    plenty of scope for other stuff like appearing on Riki etc.
    you could also clean up on gender / cross dressing bets
    the whole gotcha thing

    and stories to sell to the papers if you meet up with any celebs.
    and then go on celeb BB - 40 days rent free !

    Since you are in Oz you could start a campaign to "save skippy" buy a ranch where kangeroos can live free from hunters.

    you then make a fortune selling pet food and leather goods, and you keep buying more land


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 189 ✭✭m4cker


    The Dildo scheme from Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels seems like a decent money making venture to me mnaybe you should consider that. Or Maybe you should get some sound financial advice and stop hanging aroubnd internet bulletin boards, they generally are not renowned for making you rich.

    Should I PM you my paypal account details now or will you be in touch?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,480 ✭✭✭projectmayhem

    not all the time and we don't go wasting millions either :D:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,844 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    If you've actually got some serious money to spend, I have plenty of business ideas that just don't have the money behind them. We could work out a % split. Communication may be an issue if you're in Australia however.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,116 ✭✭✭✭RasTa


    Advertise in my Magzine. I'll give ya a 2 page spread for £1500 if ye want, although i dont know what you do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,720 ✭✭✭Hal1


    You could start your own business, and work from home if it was your thing?. Buy or bulid a few servers network them together, go with say ntl business or magnet, start hosting gaming servers, email, e-business, dns, repairs, business contracts, etc.

    If your willing to put in the investment your return on investment would be really nice. :)

    p.s. I know one guy who sucessfully runs his own home based business like this and hes rolling in it.

    ok. first of all...take your head out of your ass. all you have done so far is criticise everyone and brag about how rich you are instead of avoiding public forums and going for financial advice.

    You deserve to be broke you troll.

    To be fair, you're the one coming on with this silly post. And what are these 27 hour days of which you speak?

    Oh, Australia. Invest in uranium mining. Seriously. It's going to be rather big.

    Ok, what the fcuk is this sh1t.

    If you seriously want to make money give it to me, and I will come back to you in 4 months with 90% profit on your original amount. Otherwise get up of your arse, switch off the computer and get outside and go to your financial advisor.

    Stop discussing your "problem" on a public forum.

    That was so no nation would own the moon. But someone registered a claim on the moon in the US. AFAIK that can't actually work becuase the US has no juristuction over the moon so can't recognise the claim. Then again since the US don't recognise certain regiemes .... /me packs bag, heads over to california to register North Korea

    You could also go who wants to be a millionare <cough>
