    Basically me and a couple of mates will travel to Turin by car and knock over a Gold bullion truck.

    I understand that fuel is expensive so we'll most likely use small cars like minis or similar.

    I have a mate who's got a bit of a penchant for ladies with big bottoms but he's a technical wizzkid. He's going to sort out the traffic issues.

    I also have a mate who works for Daves Coaches. He's going to nick one of the buses for the weekend on the pretence of taking a Saga trip to see the Alps.

    I know this girl in my local who's a dab hand with explosives. Rumour is she'll blow anything, which is nice.

    Wish me luck.

    You're basing your plan around Xoggoth? He can't even get his van to run.

    Was it "mate" or "uni" that set the alarm bells ringing?

    Having got pissed he turned up at a house with a BB Gun and his mate who was a bodybuilder carrying a baseball bat.

    They burst in the front door and proceeded to terrorise the drug dealer(who was actually a transexual) and his girlfriend. They tied them both to a chair, slapped him round a bit and threatened to blow his head off with said toy gun.

    Unknown to him, she had phoned the police on the phone and that was off the hook. The whole lot got recorded and police hurtled around.

    They got away with £20 and my 'mate' fell asleep in a hedge around the corner.

    He got 11, 9 and 7 years for threat to kill, possession of a firearm and aggravated robbery. He served 7 years.

    I gave him a job for a week when he came out of prison when I opened one of my shops. He stayed with me and the missus, but frankly prison had not been good to him and by then he was completely emotionless and extremely calculating. I paid him two weeks wages said goodbye and thank god have never seen him since.

    I'm going to concoct a story that I have found a natural spring on one of my country properties. I will then start to have it bottled and get a celebrity to endorse it.

    I will of course be filling bottles up from the tap in my kitchen. No-one will any the wiser.

    I was thinking of getting David Beckham to do the endorsement and was planning to call it Beckham Springs Water.

    Anyone else have any sure plan ideas?

    So, there's your answer. Mugging prostitutes. Easy cash. They're unlikely to go to the police either.
    Foolproof and classy. Good job.

    Like USA and Canada as well. It's pretty much just the UK who won't go for it because our water is so much better.

    I might try and sell it through my shop. It will mean opening 24*7 though.
