Run for council. I'd vote for you.

That and a trail centre in LW.

I thought you were busy growing fish in a bucket (or something)? Maybe you could take up baking and use your bread and your fish to feed everyone at your next party?

Build a radio control model. Something like http://www.flairmodels.co.uk/Aircraft/Scouts/Scoutframes.htm
Very satisfying turning a pile of wood into something.Very lego/mechano/airfix esque but better . You could then learn to fly it too.

All the job / full time suggestions are okay but I quite like my current job, this is just something for the spare time.

[i]I thought you were busy growing fish in a bucket (or something)? [/i] - Just introduced the first fish last weekend. They have lived so hope to finish it this weekend by adding more fish and filling the grow bed. Photos will follow.

[i]Climbing wall, in the loft.[/i] - was going to do one around the garage but now my ankle makes that kind of pointless

[i] a radio control model.[/i] - And here is some footage from one I did earlier :

[i]Pump track in the garden, with some decent jumps in it as well.[/i] - borrowed someone else s garden/sports centre to do that, see video above

[i]Distillery[/i] - Managed to distill 4 bottles of Australian red wine into one bottle of clear spirit. Taste improved after being bottled for about 6 months but it was better for lighting BBQs than drinking.

[i]brewery[/i] - This is a possibility

[i]Start a new religion? [/i] - This is a possibility

[i]safe ladder[/i] - This is a possibility

The religion idea attracts me. Jump on a flight to somewhere hot, hire a sound system, a hall and a couple of actors then stand up and spout absolute twaddle while the actors work a few "miracles". Before you know it you'll be needing a large truck to carry all the cash.

Brewery has WCA all over it. A fine excuse for a national tour of niche breweries. You could do worse than starting at http://www.stroudbrewery.co.uk .

Research something and write a book about it. I'm nearly at the end of ten years of doing this. TBH wish I'd never bloody started but it does take you places.

So perhaps write a book explaining my transcendence from a humble micro-brewer to the ONE TRUE VOICE OF THE GODS?

Could be interesting...

Yeah, did that too


Can I be the first to point out that, cool as it may be, your armchair doesn't actually have any arms?

You could point out that it is barely even a chair!

Still swapped it for £100 discount off the price of some car bits so I am happy

I doubt WCA could do the running bit.. he had a bit of a fall from a ladder and has a dodgy ankle.

You need to start making very limited obscure items that are would be coveted by the super rich.. Cant actually thing what though

start to design 'nudges' to get people to subtlety change their behaviour, but for the good of the planet.
for example:

When discussing my Armchair plans with some Norwegian friends I mentioned that My ideal armchair would have no arm ( So I could play the guitar on it ). The Norwegian said we have word for that..." A Chair"

[i]Pray for me so that I can come out safe and positive from a very confused and frustrating situation of my life.[/i]

I have spoken with the Gods regarding your situation. While it seems confusing to you at present, there is a way forward and a successful resolution awaits you. Maintain the faith and believe in yourself as well.
