Question containing AN ACTUAL QUESTION.
I need to rustle up about 5 grand sharpish. I have no more loan/overdraft/credit card money available to me.

How do I do this without returning to my old grand-an-hour-for-having-sex-with-rich-and-attractive-widows business?

The London Marathon is in April.
Get yourself on various holiday message boards and start flogging tickets to see the runners going by to American and Japanese tourists.

You can charge them more if they want to stand by one of the tourist-sights and see the runners.

You'll clean up.
