    Same as previous I'm sure, plenty of "I'm out" or "I'll give €10k" for 50% of your business. The show is a bit of a joke, I just haven't decided if Ireland lacks any decent thinking/ideas or if our "investors" are just the primary school of the investment world... Probably a mix of both tbh

    Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully the new dragon invests more than Sarah (won't be too hard!)
    Moving this to the Reality TV forum....

    Yep, it should move with the thread. Good show so far - Norah looks like she is going to be unpredictable (and fun!) :)

    I dont agree. and she has put her money where her mouth is immediately.

    Not afraid to undercut her fellow dragons either. a plus for me so far. a breath of fresh air unlike her predecessor 'Dr No'

    don't see this memories thing taking off. why not just use a carboard box...? takes up a lot of space too.

    True... but I guess we know now why Sarah Newman wasnt investing .. she'll probably be appearing on the show, looking for investment, this year.. also, I cant stop thinking she's Niamh Kavanagh every time they show her. ..

    I'd say that she still has plenty of cash left - she and her business partner (not DJ!) got €60 m for their needahotel business. would be shocking if she has managed to invest and lose that much... :eek:

    Sarah wont be on the breadline in a hurry don't worry and she got two years of publicity despite having no real intention of investing.

    Such a cost effective idea in fairness and i think there would be demand for them.

    that's what I thought... but from the way it was reported, I thought that they were both sunk? The report went along the lines of "DJ Carey and Sarah Newman's company folded with losses of two million euros".. which gave the (possibly false) impression that she was indebted by the company as well..

    I tell you though, if yer man had used that "female gardeners generally dont like using DIY tools" with Sarah, she would have immediately declared herself out and sulked for the rest of the show..

    Pity the growrings.ie site is down. Not very good, especially when the idea is being broadcast on national tv. Very Poor. Surely this was filmed months ago.

    why are they all asking for 40k? I wonder if they just pull these numbers out of the sky sometimes! And yeah, bad form that the website is down! Even if it was filmed months ago, they must have known the broadcast date in advance!

    Have seen that happen before on dragons den. Site gets a load of traffic during the show and falls over. One time it was an ecommerce business they had set up so totally inexcusable for it to go down.

    ill never forget the sulking she done when her age wasnt within the target market of one pitch

    Just tried Growrings site but it's crashed again.

    I think the idea of the treasured memory boxes is good but surely to God she could get them made in Ireland.
