Some form of device that links all of your TV bits and pieces together so that you can turn everything on with a single click of a button (TV, Sky box, surround sound etc etc).

Peep Show had a similar idea with "The Megatron" (1m 38)

A grass cutting football.

I always fancied a simple laser beam, strong enough to cut grass in a second, but not any poles or the shed.  Might be problematic with any birds' legs, but I guess if they're not flying, in the hedge or eating the food I've put out just for them then they may deserve the collateral damage.

Also: a Kyrgyztani restaurant.  Absolutely no idea what exactly it should serve, but I know I would certainly go simply out of interest (and to appear cultured).  Suggestion:  The 'Bishkek Burger': Beef burger fried with a dash of vodka, topped with onion and 'Fergana cheese'* and served with a side of rice.

*Grated Tesco value cheddar, but the customer needn't know that.

I have come up with the idea of attaching a taser to one of those drone things. Then I emulate the Pied Piper of Hamelin by getting the good folk of towns like Peterheid and Arbroath to pay me to zap Scorries.

If they don't pay I release my flock of maddened electrified Scorries on the towns while zapping random folk from the air.

£3 coins. Make a million of them and sell them to the Royal Mint for £2million. They make £1million, we make £2million. win-win

surely you could do the same thing by printing £500 notes?

My easy money idea is this. It's a pain having to go all the way to the arsehole of Poland to visit Auschwitz.
I will build a holocaust theme park here. All I need is wooden posts, barbed wire, a pile of broken glasses, pile of old shoes and a pile of false teeth. Very small outlay.
Gift shop selling stripey pyjamas.

I was going to call you a disgusting individual, but then I suddenly thought up the idea of a food van selling themed 'Arbeit Macht Fries'.

I don't know if i want my persona to be in the screen play. I don't want the show to specifically be about 8Mile but i want it to tell a story of social awkwardness and doing/saying strange things that get ridiculed. I think the jobby throwing scene should be at a dinner date when he is trying to impress a woman rather than a shower after a football game. 


Stick to the script, maybe you could bring in some guest star to play Mick, the unfortunate guy who had 8miles stoolie running down his YSL shirt.

Mind and include the cider kicking and when he said he'd shag his Mum on the Milf thread if she looked like Rachel Hunter.

Me and my girlfriend managed to fix our hoover last week as it wasn't sucking anything up, it was a pretty proud achievement for me and there was serious talk of us starting a small family run business when we travel the country fixing Vax hoovers. I think Dysons would probably be beyond us sadly.

There's decent money to be made from picking up folks' knackered old Dysons and doing them up; some people make a living by keeping an eye on listings on Freecycle and the like for people to come and take them away. They're b*****ds to take apart, but straightforward enough once you know what you're doing and have the tools. The problem with them is almost always that the owner never bothered to clean the filters, so the motor overheated and wore out quickly. New motors were about £20-£30 last time I checked. Not a bad profit margin, considering you can just rinse the rest of the plastic parts and they almost look like new.

Anyway, I'm glad you finally sorted out the sucking problems in your house. Happy days chez Throbby.

Oh yes.  The "Issyk Kul" restaurant.

In Kyrgyztan, like the rest of Central Asia, they are very keen on Sheep's head - and I have heard that they throw away the rest of the meat.  The guest of honour gets to eat the eyes.

Reminds me of that scene from Octopussy*, obviously inspiring a Bond themed restaurant (Licence to Grill).

Casino Royale with Cheese, Golden Rib-Eye Steak. J.W Peppers etc etc...

 

*Except Kamal Khan eats the eyes rather than give it to his guest (Bond).  Scumbag behaviour.

As you know, I am always trying to be helpful.  It appears that Google Earth now offers Street view displays of Kyrgyzstan and especially Bishkek.  This should be very useful for your new restaurant.  Not sure how - but I will leave that to you.

Incidentally, it does not do Street view for the other parts of Turkestan. Don't know why.
