Default Dragon's Den Fans?

I just started watching Dragons Den on DAVE (best channel ever BTW) and I'm beginning to enjoy it. Some of the people that come on are very intelligent, and some are just down right... moronic? Some of the inventions are pretty well thought out and useful, and others are just beyond lame. One example I saw was somebody wanted about £75,000 to produce furniture made from cardboard... lol.

As for the Dragons themselves, they are just not the kind of people I'd like to stand in front of on ANY occasion, let along trying to sell my awesome new product... they'd tear me a new one. Also hearing about their success does make me wonder, and obviously makes me jealous, but who's dream isn't to be a millionaire by the time your like 40?

What you think about the show? (I think this will just count towards the UK based people of the forum) Would you, if you had a new product, stand in front of the Dragons and try to get their money?

I love that show tis great and yes DAVE is a great channel i always watch QI on DAVE.

Personally i wouldn't stand up there in front of them cos you see some people on there are they are just so nervous they cant speak properly lol. Some of the ideas you see though you sit and think what the hell is that? and some you think thats pretty good lol, but they usually mess it up on their figures

I like Dragons Den! Unfortunately, some of the dragons need to be taken down a peg or two - I detest bullies and rudeness!

The new Dragon (something khan?) seems to be like a nice guy, clearly the most intellihent of the lot and self condfident enough not to have to put others down.

Bannatyne is a grumpy old fart who shouldn't even be on there - he never invests!! lol
