I know that some here are perhaps not following the nine to five model, and everyone likes a little extra income.
I've found this for you, if you have an untapped talent.

I'm torn between coughing up a fiver for a 13 year old American to say anything I want in a cod "English" accent (it's truly dire) or having the manic David Bronstein, whoever he is, "pitch" something for me.
Interesting idea though - micropayments for microservices.

Already doing that, my train vids are paying me 75p a day for the adverts.....

It doesn't always work though.
My "I will talk dirty to bored housewives for £20 per hour" hasn't had any response yet.

Reminds me of the old joke
Chatting in a bar to an attractive 23 yr old girl, the apparently rich, but ageing, business man enquires as to whether she would have sex with him for a £1,000,000. Receiving an answer in the affirmative, he replies, " well now we have established the principle we can negotiate on the price".
|
>>Reminds me of the old joke.......
Absolutely. There isn't very much that I wouldn't do for sufficient cash.
"sufficient" is a very big word though.
|
>> There isn't very much that I wouldn't do for sufficient cash
Have your eyes and ears surgically destroyed for infinity cash?
|
"Have your eyes and ears surgically destroyed"
Not on the NHS surely? I suppose Stafford Hospital might fix it though.
|
>>Have your eyes and ears surgically destroyed for infinity cash?
If I was dying of cancer and could leave the money to my family?

well you wont see it will you....

You're already dying of the cancer known as life.
Do you love them enough to lose your sight and hearing so they can have unlimited wealth right now?
I don't worship money that much, and I doubt giving my family limitless money would necessary help them all live long and fulfilling lives so I pass.
|
I think the point is, that there is little that I would not do under any circumstance. Note, that "little" is not the same as nothing.
You came up with a bizarre scenario, I came up with a situation where even that might work. I don't worship money at all, never mind "that much", but then i have a little. I suspect that the less you have the more your thoughts may change.
Especially if that lack of money goes hand in hand with a need.

Sir, I hope you are not accusing me of playing Devil's Advocate??

Sirrah, never.

Send me a fiver and I will show you how to claim social security benefits at all stages of your life.
|
ok dog.. gimme your bank details and the fiver will be on its way
|
Great minds think alike, beekeeper.
:}

You can apparently get an attractive woman to pose as being 'in a relationship' on Facebook.
|
For a fiver I will translate American English into proper English.
;-)
|
>>For a fiver I will translate American English into proper English
For a fiver I will translate American into English.
|
For a very substantial fee I might consider translating everything into Volapük. But it would cost such a lot that you would probably feel it wasn't worth it.
|
I think I could be persuaded to do almost anything, at least once anyway, which wasn't actually illegal or life threatening in return for sufficient cash never to have to work again.
Unless it involved having to drive an Espace of course.
|
>>I think I could be persuaded to do almost anything, at least once anyway, which wasn't actually illegal or life threatening
Well, I'll be b*ggered! Or you in this case!
|
Heh heh ! Rather that than an Espace mind...
:-)

A previous employer of mine (wide boy) couldn't understand the idea that someone didn't have a price, as he was for sale he naturally assumed all others were too, no comprehension of honour or loyalty, sad little man.
|
This might be selective perception on my part and if it is I apologise, but I'm fairly convinced based on nothing more scientific than personal observation while queuing in the local Spar shop, that far more lottery tickets are, or seem to be, proportionately bought by those who appear at least, to be the most unable to afford them. Especially those scratch card ones for some reason.
I think I once heard it described as a tax on desperation or hopelessness or something.
|
I partake of a lottery every week. My local has a weekly draw. For a £1 you choose any number between 1 & 50, buying as many numbers as you wish. If your number is drawn, you get 8 pints for the cost of that particular number per pint. The winner each week gets to nominate his prefered charity for the profit made from the draw.
Apart from my P Bonds, its the only gambling I do. Jolly good fun and beneficial for our local good causes.
|
I trust those pints cost between 1 pound and 50p each? Winning the right to buy eight pints at 50 pounds each wouldn't be much of a prize :-)
|
I don't do the lottery because I find it a boring form of betting. An afternoon in front of the telly watching the four or five nags in your Yankee is much much more exciting.
|
Just to clarify Gromit, the maximum you will pay, should you win, is 50p per pint. The minimum, 1p per pint. And if you are there for the draw at 7pm on a Monday, you get an extra 4 pints...so for a pound outlay, you could get 12 pints for a total of 12 pence. And if you don't win, then you can smugly think that profits are going to CRO* or whatever.
