Dragon's Den (IRL)

JP Liz V1

New series kicks off tonight at 9.30pm on RTE 1 with Gavin Duffy the only original Dragon back

Lapin

Bye bye 29 year old Kerryman.

JonathanAnon

What a load of nonsense this is... No guitarist is gonna put fashion ahead of the guitar sound... I have locking tuners on my guitar and I can assure you he didnt invent them.. He's added nothing to the guitar.. what a bluffer..

JonathanAnon

Can we just clarify here, he has had NO ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING input in this..

JonathanAnon

Maybe Ramona could combine the drugs with the rock n' roll?

ednwireland

cant beleive they are investing in this

i'll stick with my les paul

JonathanAnon

I liked the intro though..

"Sean Sullivan successfully ran a chocolate factory for many years before giving it away to a small boy."

Lapin

I'd rather bet my money on a quiet future for the Cabra House Pub than anything I've seen so far tonight.

JonathanAnon

Dont have any customers!!! Is she serious.. ??

Lapin

"We spent the last 12 months engineering our model".


Once she came out with that shíte, I put my chequebook back in my pocket.

JonathanAnon

These lads dont half look dodgy...

Lapin

I know absolutely nothing about farming but I know this chancer does even though I haven't a clue what he's saying.

JonathanAnon

Christ even the guy he brought to help him is distancing himself from the company..

Lapin

What does it do anyway ?

Cows go into it for vet to be able to do things to the cow without cow killing vet

Royal Legend

The welding was absolutely atrocious, a definate chancer, €5k to make a hydraulic crush, is he serious, as for the marketing guy, he is chancing his arm, clueless clown.

JonathanAnon

Thought that was far more worthy of investment than the first lad.. Shows the difference between being a good spoofer and not..

Royal Legend

People with a viable saleable product would stay well clear of the dragons den, the bigger chancers are the dragons, looking for victims.

Lapin

The irony of a Bank of Ireland ad there with the slogan "Helping businesses reach their potential".

Better chance of putting on a cowboy hat and trying to sell electric guitar flavoured cupcakes to Gavin & Co.

When the marketing guy said 40/30/30 and said that the 40 was to manufacture, so at that rate he would make 8 crushes, with profit = 32k, then he was spending 30k on marketing and patents ( ) and the other 30 was wages for yer man with the hat and his secretary LOL

Running a stage school and she has stage fright herself??

Lapin

I reckon the insurance costs for this are huge ?

JonathanAnon

I keep thinking yer man on the right is Bill Cullen...

Lapin

"I'm flying my kids over......."

Bit of a knob this fella.

Royal Legend

Can see a distaster rolling this out, and the amount of Garda vetting that would need to be carried out. :rolleyes:

Whatever happened to volenteer summer camps? is nothing sacred anymore.

JonathanAnon

Jimmy Saville would have given her twenty grand for just the keys to the premises..

Royal Legend

^ I just did not want to say it

I know I shouldnt be laughing but that was pure gold

Royal Legend

whats the bets she wil take the holiday in the states, the slut

Royal Legend

30k for 5% instead of 10 and bringing her for a trip to the states, yeah right, nothing strange in that.

Lapin

Feck off Mooney.

Its Sunday.

Royal Legend

well thats another hour of my life wasted, I missed the first fella, then the fella with the hat with a machine to pull the balls off a bull, the woman who nobody is sure why she brought photos of horses into the den and a woman who it looks like she just signed up to a dirty weekend in the states

Lapin

He's bringing her over to mind the kids for a few days.

Dionysius2

Saints alive, what a load of cranks we have here this evening !

galwaykev

Did the new girl ask the guy with the cattle crush what was his target market!?

And did she ask another guy what time he gets up at??

Don't know why everyone is hung up on the Garda vetting. Summer camps have been going on for years successfully since they brought vetting in. It's really not that hard to be vetted.

So no techie stuff - just random non-tech ideas? Is it even worth watching?

I watched this last night and to be honest the quality of the show is sub standard. I don't think it is worth the hour really.

Everything felt very stiff, slow and choreographed unlike the UK version. Some pitches droned on far too long. It wasn't entertaining!

The UK version starts again this coming Sunday on BBC2. It's sharper, snappier, more creative and a bit wackier at times, all great ideas start from something small, crazy or outside the box!

ednwireland

just got the feeling the new dragons were desperate to get something and not be seen as the next sarah newman. mind i cant see the sense in the last offer why would you take 3 euro a head for each child , sounds like all you will do is cripple the cashflow in the business

it was a pretty poor set of pitches but i guess if you had a serious business idea in ireland you wouldnt be pitching it to that lot.

Nail on head :cool:

Dragons' Den: sponsored by:

Bank of Ireland

The bank that likes to lend.

Can't help feeling that it's a bad choice of sponsor or the slogan is not ideal for the show.
Perhaps the 'dragons' should be replaced by the bankers, then maybe we'll see how eager they are to lend; (or why they won't.)

JonathanAnon

Having been inspired by last week's show, I've decided to bring my own new musical invention.. I'm am an electronic engineer (from years of having played the MB game Simon and memorizing both the beeping patterns and the colours), and this is my invention..

The Self Tuning Stringless Guitar.. AND it's also a fashion statement:



Features:
- Always stays in tune.
- Does not require string changes.
- You can put your own inserts behind the faceplate..
- Does not requiring getting lessons or any of that oul boll*x..

I'm looking for an investment of (throws dart at the dartboard) 18K for 4% of my company..

Lapin

120K to help yanks trace their roots.


I'm out.

all the new dragons seem to hate each other

Ammonite

Wtf, the period pack was on last year... Funky Goddess it was called.

According to the Funky Goddess website, it's now under "new ownership". Looks like Gavins investment fell through...

Lapin

I don't have a clue what this guy is trying to flog.
