Searching on passive income streams all lead none passive advice ie investing. Get on a time machine and go back to 2008 pee-recession when interest rates of 6% were common with inflation less than a third of that. If you had a million to invest then you could return ?60k gross, and after reinvesting some of it to account for that and healthy 40k gross. Not sure where you get the time machine from. Otherwise peer to peer lending which has its pros and cons.

Sadly armoured car blagging isn't possible these days due to tracking technology and exploding dye security boxes


You could try extortion or loan sharking both slightly dodgy or the protection racket had a few vacancies in the area


Failing that set up as a local council and charge people to park on their own streets (shocking I know but good Money) then take it further and charge for taking away their garden waste which they have already paid for in their council tax, and fine anyone who's mad enough to put anything in the wrong bin, whistle too loudly or breath in fresh air 😉


Sadly getting paid to be on Jeremy Kyle has been taken out of the equation (just think of all those kids who will never know who their true father is 🤔)


Failing that, as pointed out earlier, go honest and do a decent days work


PS I think there are a few corners left locally where you can shake your booty to advertise the oldest profession !

Become a YouTube star/Instagram "influencer" ... or professional gamer - apparently they can make a pretty good income.


There's a gap in the market now that Grumpy Cat has passed on to higher things.

The problem with working and most jobs is they are constrained in your earning potential by finite salary bands, bonus structure etc. 1 unit of effort in will only ever return 1 to 2x back in reward. Things get interesting for people who learn to scale themselves. Or who build some kind of product once and sell it N times. When you have that leverage you start making money without investing or conventional work. It can take on ab life of its own. Elton John does this. So does Jeff Bezos. The guy who started and scaled Franco Manca. Most people dont want to take the risk so salaried work prevails.

The link says "X offers a relatively low House Edge of 1%. This makes it a bit easier for players to make money."


Which means that in the long run on average you will lose 1% of each stake. Probably less than on a fixed-odds machine in a bookies, but still enough to enable the machine provider to be the one who profits in the long run.


Then add in the currency risk. Cryptocurrencies aren't the most stable. Currency converters presumably take a cut too.


Tell us about yourself, harryjosh. Are you one of the potential suicides, once they've lost everything and have a large card bill as well? Or maybe a gaming provider or one of their stooges? I think perhaps the latter.

      Cyclists taking over paths!!

      By malumbu · Posted

      What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.

      I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise.  This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties.  Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways   : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"

      Melbourne Tyres closed down

      Can't help thinking that regardless of whether Joe wanted to be interviewed, the 'story' that Southwark News wanted to write just got a lot less interesting with 'tyre shop replaced with ... tyre shop'!

      Labour are proposing to nationalise the railways, (passenger trains but not fright)  Whilst it removes them from shareholders control, and potential profit chasing, is it workable or will it end up costing tax payers more in the long run?  On paper the idea is interesting but does it also need the profitable freight arm included to help reduce fares,?
