Dragons Den? Bunch Of Bastards Den more like.

Dragons Den. Great TV, but perhaps the best advertisment I've seen for not becoming a rich businessperson. Why? Because all the 'dragons' are nasty buggers who seem largely joyless in their 'status'.

Peter Jones, the ever-frowning youngun on the right, is perhaps the worst of the bunch and his website used to describe him as an 'ultrapreneur'. Say no more. Duncan Balantine, the Scottish guy, is armed with a ready quip to put every visitors dream to shame. Deborah Meaden looks like a bird of prey. They got rid of the only nice guy, Richard Fairleigh, who actually seemed to have a human side and like people who were poorer than him.

"I'm actually offended that you've wasted my time" is something they say from time to time, and that really annoys me. Fuck off home then and give the BBC back the money they're paying you to 'waste your time'. Your success in business does not demand unquestioned, humbling respect from the lowly normal folk who come before you!

Anyway, as I say, great TV though! :-p
