Hands up if you forgot the clocks went back…

OK just me then. I really can’t see the point of changing the clocks twice a year. There are some who agree with it but it does actually cause more deaths and accidents in the Winter by doing so.

I woke up this morning thinking it was 9:45 and a reasonable time to end my Sunday morning lie in. Erm it was 8:45 and now has put me in a bad mood which will most likely end at some point in March…. 2009….

So if I snap at anyone or beat people up in the street or decide a life of crime could be quite fun, I cannot be held responsible, it’s down to the bloody clocks!

Should Scotland have a say in English Lasw and Policies?

What do you think?

Now before I make this statement I have some very good friends and business colleagues in Scotland, just thought I should make that crystal clear.

I personally think that they shouldn’t have a say in English laws that do not affect Scottish policies. The scots fought hard for devolution and the right to govern themselves and rightly so. They have some laws that are completely independent of English law that we are do not have a say in which is completely understandable.

I think that the Scots should be allowed to completely govern their own area but not have a say in English law. It’s a case of you can’t have you cake and eat it, or haggis for that matter…

Dragons Den, not exactly fire breathing, more like smoking…

Well lets see what loonies they wheel in this week…

The DIY doll lady couldn’t be faulted for her enthusiasm but her product was cack, described as a one hit wonder would be right and I was surprised any of the dragons even raised an eyebrow in interest. TP delivered once again by slating the packing and quality, erm sorry mate but it’s being produced in her house so it aint gonna be top notch just yet is it? Muppet…

The learning cards lady got completely tied up in knots by her nerves. Overvaluing the company and not knowing her figures, not to mention losing the dragons and probably half the nation with her pitch, she did herself no favours at all. The dragons taking the mick out of her didn’t help, but oh wait, it’s entertainment isn’t it…

Bat poo and a folding iron board, no comment just don’t let the door bang you on the arse on the way out…

On target, great name for what I though what as a good product. It’s a fairly original idea on the sticky spiders you sometime see in pub urinals and I was very impressed with his pitch and his ability to stand up to the dragons attempting to extract the urine, no pun intended!

I was very surprised that they didn’t invest, good product and good sales so far but I have to ask, how on earth did he spend £70k of his own money on a product that is basically a floating ball that you wee on??

Anti-spiking drinks, erm I put my thumb in the top of my bottle and don’t leave it lying around. Wheel in two scantily clad models and although easy on the eye was a completely pointless exercise…

Not sure if the kebab bloke was crying or just sweating, either way it was another non-starter. So 17 minutes in and yet to see anything of value…

The alert couple couldn’t be more nervous by the looks of things but surely this is just another comparison site? It didn’t get me excited about it at all but the revelation that TPs better half plays online bingo is hardly surprising, probably for escapist reasons I would have thought…

Their projected figures were pretty unrealistic to be honest, why do people do this?? Fast route to the door by over valuing. PJ got angry about the other business and rightly so, he was spot on that he didn’t think thy would put their heart and soul into it. TP actually played an interesting game by throwing the equity question back to the pitchers, surprise, surprise after some suitably dramatic pauses and music (since when did DD become X Factor?) the 25% was rejected.

30% wasn’t exactly a move in the right direction either and unbelievably TP went for it!! I really cannot see him making that back but I suppose time will tell.

To be honest DD this week was a bit lame, they seem to be struggling slightly to find really solid ideas and real entrepreneurs. Remember the coin slot counters from last series? Brilliant original idea and had the dragons fighting over them. I only hope this series finds another winner like that but on this weeks performances I’m beginning to doubt it…

Domainrenewalonline.com – Scam warning!

Got an email this morning from a company called domainrenewalonline saying that one of my domains is due to expire in 90 days. The domain in question was indeed due to expire but it would be a clever trick as all my domains are through eNom.

Looking into this company a bit further, there is a scam email running round the net at the moment:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GFRC_enGB218GB218&q=domainrenewalonline

The email looks pretty official and only gets tagged as a medium level of spam so it’s quite convincing.

The link in the email foes straight to their domain, I didn’t click it but at first glance it does all look legit..

Obviously ignore it and contact your registrar if you’re unsure…

Nice to find out…

Found out today purely by chance that someone had actually been shown my blog as a good example of how to have a blog!

Made me feel very chuffed actually, I cannot take any credit at all for the skin as it done by these chaps but even so.

As I mentioned to this person, the main reason why it looks so clean and uncluttered is mainly becuase I never flipping post in it but hey ho…

I think actually I’m going to make a concious effort to do a post a day from now on. The very fact that people can be arsed to actually visit the blog makes it worth it…

Return of the Dragons Den…

If I hear this phrase one more time…

“Let me tell you where I am…”

Oh really? Please enlighten me? Are you currently hovering six foot off the floor? Currently having an out of body experience and examining your own arse?

YOU’RE SAT IN A BLOODY PONCY CHAIR IN A OLD WAREHOUSE YOU MUPPET!!!!!

…and breathe…

I thought the student party organisers were nuts to go with PJ. They looked at it from a financial point of view with a slightly better deal but I would have sacrificed more for DMs experience in the industry and in particular in that area of the country. Despite the fact that she looks like she eats lemons for breakfast, lunch and dinner…

The gold plate chap was a lucky b*****d to get away with that, I was half expecting DB to drop kick him out of a second floor window.

Beef Jerky? Regardless what they looked like, the stuff still tastes like old shoe leather so no shockers there…

And Theo, good old TP, back to his slimy, pandering, irritating best as the snail of the den. God I hate the man…

and God I love this show!!!!

Cadburys Gorialla Advert…

Unless you live in a cave with no TV or Tinterweb, there is a very high chance you will have seen the Cadburys gorilla knocking seven bells out of a drum kit to the Phil Collins toon In the Air Tonight…

Well whilst perusing YouTube I came across quite possibly the funniest clip I’ve seen for quite some time…

Just don’t be drinking any hot fluids whilst watching this or things could get messy…
