Finally, consider setting up a toll on the street that you live on. Construct a makeshift barrier and sit at a desk on the middle of the road charging €1 for everyone who passes (additional 50c if a trailer is being pulled).

that is GENUIS!

How do you get involved in these Jigsaw, are they only advertised in Colleges or is there a company you can contact to register for them ?

The place that I did it is in Belfast. It was MDS PharmaServices.

I'm sure there are plenty other places that do it as well. There have been a few scare stories recently about these studies but generally speaking they are harmless. For example in one I took a prototype drug designed to thin the blood slightly to aid circulation. You took the drug and then had a small blood sample taken every two hours. You stay overnight and then leave in the morning then get a cheque for a few hundred in the post the following Tuesday. Grand job. Some people be scared of it and some have certain ethical issues. I, for one, enjoy having a lot of money.

These companies know that if they f**k up they'll get sued to the bollocks so you're never exposed to that great a risk I believe.

Anyone know of anyone down here, only crowd I can find by a quick google are Shandon Medical and they're in Cork (i'm in dublin)

Last time I was there it was perfect apart from the fact that you couldn't have a smoke or a drink. But there were big leather sofas, widescreen TVs, a few PS2s, snooker table, darts board, internet access computers and other things. There has to be plenty to do because you have to stay within the building for the duration of the test and if you don't you are booted of the test. I can remember hearing about one where you had to stay in the place for three weeks without getting out and the money was huge for that. Just thinking, it is a bit like a cut price Big Brother!!

Collie D · 31-07-2007 03:51PM

How long you have to stay for and what kind of money we talking about? Purely out of curiosity, don't think I'd be into testing drugs unless it was some new kind of hybrid skunk. Thought about selling the auld jizz though...may as well get paid for it

Fajitas! · 31-07-2007 03:56PM

Wouldn't you have to sign a disclaimer for those yokes? In case they f*ck up, you can't sue them?

Anyways - Easy money? Try Wedding photography. Get a loan for 2000, pick up camera gear, ego yourself up and charge 1200 a wedding, do several, and you'll have your loan paid back along with a couple more grand.

It's dead easy too. :rolleyes: We're all doing it over on the photography forum. [/sarc]

Well from personal example, I did one which involved going in at 8.00am on a Tuesday morning, staying that night, staying the next night and coming out again on Thursday morning and I got around £800stg as far as I can remember (it was around 7 years ago you see).

Funny you should mention the auld jizz selling. I had also heard of studies when Viagra and similar drugs were coming out and people took a sample of the Viagra and then were hooked up to these heart rate monitors and had a stopwatch totime how long it took for them to get wood, then they had to time how long it took them to knock one out. Imagine getting paid for that though - excellent stuff.

Where can you sell jizz btw? There could be money to be made

That's some auld lark to be at!! I don't want to put down the fine art of photography but wedding photography is all about taking nice candid shots capturing the subjects when they are unaware. You would just have to walk about taking photos, as well as the more formal "outside the church" one. Then so easy to put them into some sort of slideshow format on a DVD and sell that to them as well.

So €1200 for wedding photos. Do you know what an average wedding band would charge by any chance?

Fajitas! · 31-07-2007 04:32PM

Between a few hundred and a few grand.

You should give wedding photography a go...

You'll be grand

Have you learned nothing of the dangers of sub-contracting painting work from the Simpsons !?!

"Grampa Simpson : I thought I recognized you. I gave you a plate of corn muffins back in 1947 to paint my chicken coop. And you never did it.
Chester Lampwick : Those corn muffins were lousy.
GrampaSimpson : Paint my chicken coop!
Chester Lampwick : Make me!"

Nailz · 31-07-2007 09:18PM

Point taken Santa, but how about this?... I'll pay the poor fcuker who's doing my fence after the chap has it done. Okay, and if that happens I'll pay the sucker in coppers I wanna get rid of. Your probibly saying "scaby farmer from Cavan" right now...
