    Online casino.

    Make sure it's marketed well and noticed by enough people, then rake in mugs' money.

    I assume.

    It should be fairly cheap and easy to set up.

    That, or a phony religion with lots of aliens and stuff.

    It wouldn't be cheap or easy to set up...

    Cheaper and easier than building a real one, I'd imagine.

    It's not a plan I've really thought much about. I just want people to hand money over to me with as little effort on my part as possible.

    Ejector seats for helicopters.

    I can really see them taking off.

    The Kamov Ka-50, which entered service with Russian forces in 1995, was the first production helicopter to be fitted with an ejection seat. The system is very similar to that of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft; the main rotors are equipped with explosive bolts and are designed to release the blades moments before the seat rocket is fired.

    Why not just eject to the side?

    My guess?

    Whiplash.

    The Russians have already developed excellent ejector seats. Designing a sideways one would be wasteful.

    If the helicopter was spinning or dropping rapidly you might get a blade in the face.

    Looks cooler.

    Oh, no room for Bender, huh? Fine! I'll go build my own lunar lander, with blackjack and hookers.

    In fact, forget the lunar lander and the blackjack.

    Ahh, screw the whole thing!

    Since the chopper is going down once the crew ejects, no matter what direction they go in, would there be any point in sending money to develop a different system to the one already in fixed-wing aircraft?

    Very doubtful. They already have a highly advanced Zero Zero ejector seat.

    I set up two businesses so far.

    One when I was in college, which flopped when everyone graduated.
    And another I started up with my best friend a few months back.

    I'd recommend it to anyone. Nothing like earning money that you really earned yourself, from start to finish using your own ingenuity. Ireland is an extremely hospitable location in which to open a business. There is minimum red tape and tonnes of support out there for start ups.

    You don't have to be a profitable business, right? Or one that makes any money at all, yeah?

    Drug dealership. There's a never ending supply if idiots and scumbags as customers. Profit margins are very high, and the customers tend not to go elsewhere (well until they overdose).

    Piss Blasting. It was big in 2011 it'll be huge in 2012. Great grants too.

    My Uncle was at the Piss Blasting in England in the 80's. There was good money to be got in the Piss Blasting.

    When my son was working in renovation in New York, they were doing a job in a luxury apartment in Park Avenue. The owner's wife had a cat and a guy came in and spent an hour or so with it three days a week. The housekeeper told my son that there had been another cat, but it had died recently, and the guy who came in was a pet grief therapist.

    Now that's a job that would suit me. A few hundred dollars an hour for patting some rich dame's doggie on the head. Or stroking her pussy.;););)

    True, but if you read all those reports about gangland hits in Dublin, you'll have to agree that the retirement plan sucks. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    You could be an eccentric alcoholic bookshop owner with a long-haired brow-beaten assistant who get up to all sorts of humorous shenanigans.

    I think the market for pubs has reached equilibrium so you might want to look elsewhere for a business opportunity.
