Anyone built a helipad?
Well seeing as I'll need a helicopter or two soon, I thought it was high time to build myself one.
Oh and anyone know about superyacht transportation from the Cayman Islands?

I built a helipad out of lego in 1983 - Happy to help where I can...
As for the superyacht shipping from the Cayman Islands, you have three options:
1) Dangle it from a blimp and fly it over
2) Tow it over the oceans using your car - with over inflated tyres - obviously
3) Use the onboard boat engines of the boat to get it across the oceans

Ahhh you see - these superyachts are actually too fragile to cross the Atlantic (yep - true!) so I need a container ship or similar - if they can find one big enough.
Was thinking of VBH instead of just H for the helipad.
Very Big Helicopter.

Yeah, I have some money buring a hole in my pocket too. I'm thinking about buying a country, can anyone recommend one? I'm think may be I should go for an underdeveloped one and do some improvements to add value, or should I just go for a developed one that has all the facilities and needs little work.

Jon - may I suggest Sri Lanka?
Good connections with Oz and Japan and generally warm too. Prices likely to rise.
Occasional uprising's easily cured if you slip a backhander to the US's F22 Raptor division.
Bulgaria a possible if Sri Lanka is a little far - potential wine market revenue and great trade potential.
I'm currently enquiring about the Moon, although facilities are a little lacking.

1. You must paint a bloody great big 'H' on the floor.
2. You should paint a bloody great big circle round the 'H'
3. Hang some old socks on a pole (Give's direction of the wind or some boring sh*t like that, can't see its that important.)
Voila, job's a good'en. Your ready to land and take off at will
