    Suggestions for money spinning ideas

    Say what you like about people like Hubbard or Icke, they show that you can get lots of followers and money if you come up with ideas that appeal and know how to promote them.

    Lesser known people can do ok too. Just read about the Bosnia pyramids which contain ancient technology that may free us from dependency on fossil fuels and provide profound health giving properties. The chap is giving a talk locally and charging £12 a ticket. The hall is expected to be fully booked.

    I am thinking of discovering a convergence of ancient ley lines under my garden that can grant psychic powers to anyone who scatters fivers on my lawn. Any better ideas?

      My initial advice would be to consider a career as a Bank Robber - but as I didn't have the bottle I tried the next best think - Computer Contracting - which I think was best summed up by the much missed CUKer Fleet who defined the Computer Contractor as a " Hooker with a Keyboard."

      And by George he was right.

      Finally on the topic of Bank Robbing - here is what good old Bertolt Brecht (whom as far as I recall was not on the CUK forum) had to say ...From the Threepenny Opera - no less.

      "Whom is the greatest Thief - the one who robs the Bank - or the One whom owns the Bank ??? "

      Well ?

        Start a new age religion, they all profess to not care about worldy goods

        But of course you'll need big mansions around the world to help spread your religion, a fleet of cars in each country, your own private jets, hookers (sorry meant spritual guidance analysts) on standy and plenty of exotic drugs to help get the voices in your head you need to be authentic

        But apart from that money isn't really your thing
        Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

        No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                  It doesn't have to be you - you just need to convince them that it is

                    I have the sledge market all sown up, but I understand that some people have trouble buying sofas and getting them delivered on time. Make sure you always have 2 or 3 in the garage for a quick turnaround
