I'd liked to have seen this episode of 'Dragons Den'...
.
.
I must have missed this thread. What was it about?
Sorry Jamie, I must have deleted the pictures off my storage site.
Here they are again.

A clip from that episode
Thanks Jamie....hadn't thought to look for that.
There might be a full episode lurking around on YT somewhere.
I daren't get on youtube this early in the evening.
Yep. Those Russian driving vids will take up your evening.
For me YouTube is one of the very best outcomes of the internet
Love it!
I agree !
Me too, better than Facebook and Twitter.
Silly name though. Sounds like a Scottish insult.

Now you've mentioned it I can hear it getting said in many a pub in Glasgow

Dedworth, you do crack me up. That's for sure.
PS: I'm not a fan of Duncan Bannatyne
I don't like Ballantyne. Find him arrogant and miserable. Actually the only dragons I have liked over the years are no longer on it.
Funnily enough I don't mind him too much - the one that I loath Deborah Meadon and of course the presenter Evan Davis makes me gag.
I admire her forthright manner, but as with that woman who used to co-present the TV morning programme, you'd think that even a tiny amount of cash could have been spent on sorting out a face that is looking more and more like an old sack of potatoes.
Oh, and the presenter.
...On loan from Spitting Image ?
Worst of the lot for me is Peter Jones.
His parents live round the corner from us
Going back a few years I used to like the smooth Californian bloke Doug Richard and the Aussie bloke who's name I can't remember
Richard Farley I think he was called. He was my favourite. Nice bloke who knew how to talk to people properly.His parents live round the corner from us

Thats him decent, unpretentious bloke - thats probably why they got rid of him
He must be the second dragon to go bust.. Rachel Elnaugh lost all her cash too with her business "Red letter day"..
Wikpedia says...
Following five investments over the first two seasons of the show, a result of disputes with various Dragons[clarification needed] (Jones, Paphitis and Duncan Bannatyne),[3] and the resulting uncomfortable position of the BBC if it allowed a perceived "failed" businesswoman to be on a business panel, she agreed to leave the "Dragons' Den" panel.
So in that case, Bannatyne should also be sacked by the BBC..Or he should fall on his sword IMO.

Good stuff Fred
Just goes to show that these 'experts' get it wrong frequently. Similar to football I suppose where a player can get released from a club early on in his career because he's deemed to be not good enough then goes on to play for his country later on.
As for Ballantyne, he's got too much of an ego to fall on his sword.
Hmm....I might re-submit my handy gardening multi-tool then.

I've got a few inventions too. Maybe I should go on DD with one of these.
haha.
Actually, that wheelchair one looks a really good idea.
