Lend it to the Labour party. OK, they will default on the ‘loan’, but they will bung loads of government contracts your way that you can make shed loads of money on.

It's mostly a combination of inspiration, hard work and dumb luck. Two people can have the same idea and work just as hard, one will succeed and the other will go bust.
Find a demand and fill it. Doesnt matter what it is. If people want it they will pay for it and if you are the only, or one of only a few, sources then they will pay more for it."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

1. Create dodgy TV show based on X Factor where
a. Nobody cares who you are
b. Nobody cares if you cry
c. Nobody likes you
d. Everyone thinks you're stupid
e. Nobody thinks you can sing
2. Sell series to ITV (They'll take any tulipe) for £10 million
3. Get stupid chavs to watch the show on primetime TV and calling in to vote for some numbnuts, at a £1 a pop, generating poss few million.
4. Give ITV a backhander of phone revenues (couple of mill)
3. Settle out of court with Syco TV (Cowell's mob) for ripping off his format and give him half the 10 mill
4. Piss off and retire with my 5 mill, plus phone revenues.
5. When I run short of cash, (which would be very quick), rent out deck chairs on my private island's beach.Comment
