I'm at work so can't get embedded video at the moment .. but if I am wearing a dodgy cream jacket and go by the name 'Dave' ... doh! Looks like you got me!!!

Can you go on again? Take some bread and an OcUK sign with you for proof please.

What was your other business you put on hold?

britboy4321 · 13 Nov 2009 at 15:15

I've been an IT Contractor since I finished Uni.

It's not a 'real' business as such .. it's just a way to charge a company lots of money for being good at computers and working with no employment rights ...

My thing was to do X to some kind of Y baked good, but that was put to a halt the other week

I'm sure you're a great guy but it's people like you that annoy me on that show. I don't want to see the crap ideas! I don't care about how alpha and macho they can get with the rubbish contestants. And I'm not just talking about Deborah, the other guys too!

I want to see the good ideas, I want to see the innovation in the UK. All the trillions of pounds spent on making a first world country, the best education, the best prospects, the best resources. I demand results! Not a TV in front of a bike!

If you want to see proper business in action there are plenty of VC magazines out there .. just buy some of them -- you can trawl through hundreds of ideas for hours that are a LOT better than mine ... from lots of people who -- you guessed it -- want you to invest in them ...

Why the delay of posting on here? :confused:

That's a pretty old episode surely as they're the old dragons some of them no?

Freefaller · 13 Nov 2009 at 16:30

He's a member with 300 posts and only been here since Dec 08. As he said this is the first post in GD. Maybe he saw a re-run recently on Dave and decided to tell us about it.

Was a good read! thanks. I also will never watch this show in the same light again... Although i hate that guy dave duncan anyway (the one who started his own tennis training or something) so stuck up his own arse.

I always like Richard Farleigh.
