    bounce a ball as many times as you can in 1 month, then try and beat that score over the following months

    After all these absurd answers...

    Its obviously going to be a mad adventure relating to travelling !.
    You will need money first , so job is needed !
    After that I would recommend china which is cheap.
    I had a blast there last year.
    I would also recommend thailand which is cheap.

    Hard to be adventurous without money !

    Spend it realising that that 1% figure is highly likely to grow in the next six months. In fact it probably multiplied in the last 6 hours after Cowen's little chat.

    Didnt think of that. So much optimism for a guaranteed job- when all are worried about loosing theirs's.

    In this order.

    1. Do a bunjy jump
    2. Do a parachute jump.
    3. Sky dive

    and when you think you have scared the bejaysus out of yourself with them, try whitewater rafting.

    Enjoy and I hope you come back alive.
    All done...

    Sky dive/parachute jump.. They really not one and the same?

    Thats 2 days covered... only another 178 to work out

    OP, how about doing some charity work. Maybe you could sign up to travel abroad for six months or a year to teach English in a developing country?

    Go to Azeroth for a few months, it's great, they've got horse riding, archery, arts and crafts... and you'll get to meet lots of interesting people.

    Invest in narcotics.

    Become diagnosed with a terminal disease thus negating any reason to plan six months or even six weeks ahead?

    try and stay awake for 1 minute longer each and every day. by the end of six months, you'll need 3 hours less sleep than you do now. going out midweek will be a walk in the park.

    Take up Golf. Ireland has some of the best golf courses in the world. Thats what id be doing. We also have the best drink in the world - Guinness - so id also be slaughtering pints of that between rounds too.

    Alternatively you could take up internet poker. Play on the free sites for 6 months and then when you finally have money from your job to play games for cash, you will be a complete shark and will be cleaning up so much so that you'll have a 2nd income. That recession beating advice if ever i heard it.

    The only thing virtual money poker is good for is learning the rules. You can't learn to play until there's real money involved.

    ah no, everyone cares about play money.. like i wouldn't go all in if i didn't at least have a high card 9.

    Get lost in Amsterdam.

    or

    hop on a random bus, see where you end up. Then when you're bored of that place, hop on another random bus, and so on. Then make your way home after 6 months.

    Star as Faceman in the new Ridley Scott film "The A-Team"....it will be a role that demands little and has much reward.

    Or portray He-Man in the latest live action adaptation of said character.

    Either should be good and will certainly raise your profile in public circles.
