No No, I'm serious

I have lots of money and need a good niche to waste my wads.


I mean, there is only a certain amount of ****** you could rent before you get bored of prancing about like a pimp.

Buy out Babyboys business then try and sell him back a franchise

Then invest the rest in British Gas, what could possibly go wrong?

My ex had always wanted one, so he bought one from Ebay. he drove her twice and decided he hated it. i asked if i could have a drive, and he laughed (i was driving a 280 BHP Supra at the time). i drove her and fell in love.

I spent a lot of time and money heavily modifying her. i bought several others as spares cars and projects. when i split with my ex he got custody, and i was only left with my gold 2.3 Ghia.

i still appreciate Jap performance cars, but my real passion is Classic Fords now

Invest it in audi URquattro sports SWB, or hire the pussycatdolls for a half an hour.

What you could do is take out a really big advert in some papers like the Times and Telegraph and promise to solve peoples problems for business ideas. All you need is a few dodgy testimonials from people posting in here.

What you do then is tell them to send you £99.95 including postage (you won't need any packing).

You then send them a postcard with a link to this thread telling them to put an advert in the Times and the Telegraph and get 10,000 gullible punters to send in their £99.95

That should do - double your money overnight!
