Evening all,

OK - Brainstorm time! I'm bored of sitting here reading Flyer and staring out of the window as the jets whizz by. I've got to fly!

Anyway, as I'm £900 overdrawn and my bank manager has turned into a nervous schizophrenic after all the phone calls, I want you to think of ways for us impoverished flyers to earn flying tokens.

Thinking hard,

:) :) SpeedBird22 :) :)

I got two idea's..

Scab from the olds, or pyramid scheme :)

Failing that of course you may want to try something that my friend used to help fund himself through uni (and many nights out on the town). He found a small woodworking shop that he employed to make small tables, like the lil ones you stick next to your laz-y-boy and rest your remotes, tv guide, and all that on. He ordered i quite a lot of them, then set about advertising at quite a cost in newspapers, selling them at a price that covered their manufacturing, delivery, and also making himself a healthy lil sum of money on the side! Im not so sure how legal this is though, but hey, it worked for him!

- Then again there will always be places at McD's :) - Good luck!

SPEED!

Maybe we could do a quid a go to work out where the difference was in our callsign?

Must be worth, say, 30-40 quid a day if we did the major airports?

Wadda ya reckon Speedy?

Build PC's in your spare time. Buy the parts for £150-£200 on E-bay and flog the finished PC for £350 to £400 locally.

Takes 3-4 hours max to put together a PC and is a piece of piss if you know a little about computers. What you don't know you can look up on the net.

Keeps my finances ticking over nicely whilst I'm studying my ATPL's full time, just don't go selling them up here in ABZ !!

Also if you have a large stash of dosh (£10k-£20k) set aside to pay for the last bit of training, stick it in premium bonds until you need it.
I'm getting an avg of £75 per month return on a stash of £15k which I reckon is better than any bank !

Just my tuppence worth !!

Regards

Visualise the sceneario:
It's about 6 or 7 pm,you've had a few,you've run out, either through bad planning or plain alcohollism and you fancy some more,there's no offy within walking distance.Ofcourse as we are all ahhhhmm responsible citizens - the car's out.

Therefore - (to make money out of these unfortunate individuals), buy an old van,buy a bloody skip load of cheap booze,some storage,advertise a home delivery booze service with a hot line emergency phone no. All at vastly inflated prices ofcourse.This should make you a million pounds within the first six months.

Hell,if I wasn't already on the rich list,I might be doing it myself!
