in Off Topic
Ok so l have a idea, I'm gonna share it with you and together we can fill in the gaps. Stage 1. Get a million things. Stage 2. Sell them for £1 each. Ill admit it needs fleshing out a bit but as a basic idea I think it's solid. It has room for movement for example Stage 1. Get 500,000 things Stage 2. Sell them for £2 each. Lets go megaminds

    Break a phone into a million pieces, each of which is a microphone. Sell the cheap microphones for a tenner each and make a lot more than a million.

    I heard recently of a fool proof scheme to make a million from horse breeding. Only catch is it requires start up funds of 2 million.

    It's not even funny how easy this would be to do! Think about it. Something thats worth £1 is basically something most people would throw away. So assuming you went round and gathered up all the shit people are going to throw away, you could actually do this. The time and effort involved would be massive of course but hey, you wanna be a millionare, you gotta work.

    EXACTLY! It's really not as stupid as it first sounds is it. Ok maybe a bit stupid, but it has merit.

    @ftumch, not at all. You should go on the Apprentice.

    Offer to wash someone's car for ten pence. They would be a fool to refuse so you will have a limitless supply of customers. 
    Simply wash ten million cars and voila.

    I like it but I live in slough and fear I may be wearing concrete shoes and sleeping with the fishes if I step into the polish mafias territory. There's a car wash every other shop here. Lots of very clean cars though. They must ALL be millionaires cos they charge £5!

    Hmm that gives me an idea, how many actual internets are there? One right? That took off quite well didn't it, can we make another one? A whole new Internet, but exclusive with properly policed content and security.

    tell you one thing you can get for free that everyone in the whole damn world needs; water. But there's no way you'll ever convince anyone to pay you for it :-S

    1. Start with £2m
    2. Spend a short time in the music business

    ... you'll have your £1m soon after

    Get a tardis and buy London property in 1979 ish. The prices now means that an affordable townhouse in 1979 will now sell to a rich southern European for 1,5 easily. People pay more than a million to live in hackney ffs.

    buy a 3.5million cigarettes, put ten of them on an ants back - sell each cigarette for 5p each.

    each time you sell a cigarette the ant becomes a cigarette lighter - which you can sell for £1 for three.
    A sig-nat-eur? What am I meant to use this for ffs?! Is this thing recording?

    I think the hay budget alone would bankrupt most people.
