    Starting now. Definitely started with a bang.

    "I'd like to ask for a million in investment for 20% of my business".

    Peter:"Did you say you want a million?!?"

    I missed the first few minutes, but seeing the response to the guy I have to wonder - is DD becoming the new X-factor, where the pre-screeners let in 'acts' they know will annoy the judges, for 'entertainment'? :rolleyes: It seems a bit abusive if that's the case - letting a person make a fool of themselves, or even appear dishonest, on TV in a business context is a lot more serious than letting a person sing out of tune...

    Just like the Apprentice, I have no idea how much pre-screening gets done before it goes to air. I would wonder at times...

    This girl has no chance of getting the military. the MOD are not going to spend extra money on womens knickers and female squaddies are not going to buy them. The more gung ho one will just get changed in the loo/behind a tree as usual, and the more feminine ones will wear feminine underwear and flat out reject "easy to take off, procured by the MOD" underwear.

    Yes, not a bad idea, but the need for changing underwear during the day would realistically be small on a global scale :pac:

    Yeah, the only person who would want them is Mr Bean going to the beach.

    Revive-a-phone. A more expensive alternative to a box of rice.
