If I had £50m to play with...
« on: 02 June 2008, 00:56:15 »

...I'd re-open a few coal mines, convert the coal into petrol, make £100m and retire.

Job done!  :y

Oh, and yes, it CAN be done:

I would sponsor some large and gas guzzling monster for 12 months like say............the Vulcan bomber.

Then I would would setup a brown-out website and have brown-out painted on the inside of the Vulcan bombers bomb bay.....

I'd buy a small mountain somewhere with plenty of Hydro Electric generating potential and rent out server space inside it because I think unless someone invents the instant, boil-in-the-bag nuclear power plant there are going to be "brown-outs" of several kinds to look forward to in the future.

One I'll very much welcome, the other won't be much fun. >:(
