£1 from 1000 people

Well what if I had some kinda "fundraiser" style thing. Or just sit on the high street with a sign explaining my thoughts and what its for with a bucket sitting there. Who knows. I could have a wealthy business man walk by and throw in a million pound cheque.
 
Along the same lines as what you're suggesting, and a better idea, imo, than the Million Pixel Home Page*

Similar to the sports car raffles that you see in airports, a family in Swindon raffled their 4-bed house a few years ago. They sold raffle tickets for £1 p/ticket, and agreed to hold the draw once 250,000 tickets had been sold. At the time, the house was worth £180,000 so it was a nice little earner for them and someone presumably got a bargain.

Linky

I don't know if you've got a 4-bed house that you're prepared to offload, but if not, there's nothing to stop you doing this albeit on a smaller scale. Buy a laptop for £500 on your credit card and then go around your university flogging 1,000 raffle tickets at £1 each. I'm sure there'll be people prepared to risk it.

And if you do it and it works out, then you owe me a beer, mmmkay? :)





*I never understood the attraction of the Million Pixel Home Page - why would people purposely visit a website that offers nothing but adverts? I don't mind adverts that are used to subsidise the cost of providing something that interests me, but I can't see the point in going to a webpage that only shows adverts.

What is my "day-to-day"? (I communicate mainly on the Internet, and I use the "bracket system", or "bracketing system" [as named by myself] when on the Internet [I also use it in text {in some forms (and also to varying degrees)}]).

At the time of making the website (which I might change soon [in other terms, it might be changed in the next few weeks {as of the time stamp in this post}]) I had not fully implemented the "bracket system", or "bracketing system" (as named by myself). (I do not want to have to discuss this topic [again] as I have gone over it many times).

Why do you put '[as named by myself]' every time you refer to the "bracket system", or "bracketing system"[as named by yourself]?

What's with '{as of the time stamp in this post}' aswell?

Just seems a waste of time, pointless and brings nothing to you or your posts apart from questions.

Edit: Don't bother answering, will have to read another bracket infested abomination which just confuses me as to why you do it.
 
How can someone claim to have invented bracketing when they're only 16 years old? Surely the use of brackets pre-dates your birth by quite a few Centuries.

Publicity, publicity, publicity. The mere fact you've heard of it is half way there. Every pixel was sold and several copycat sites popped up.

True, although I heard of it because the kid lived a couple of miles down the road from me in Cricklade. I'm proud to say I never visited the site :)

The "bracket system", or "bracketing system" (as named by myself) is not the same as the use of "brackets". The "bracket system", or "bracketing system" (as named by myself) is a new invention (relatively).

Why do you keep telling us that? You're just finding stupid excuses to put that crap in.
 
Who cares about brackets anyway (I know I don't) it doesn't really matter. Ignore him if your that fussed.

Anyway back on topic.

£1 from lots of people, therefore my fees are paid and i'm happy! Yay! (Also I do work{aimed at the people who said get a job})

(Oh see what I did there)
 
Why does this discussion about brackets seem to be invading half the threads on the forum? Yes, I also find it frustrating to read, but no, it's not so important as to take over the forum. :/
