fair to say the Irish version has been a disaster, timing was unfortunate but those goons are no more than reality tv wannabees.
ps. it deserves mentioning every week so here go’s…

I would,but whats going on with the semi-circle of warts on her boat race?
DJ’s sloppy seconds? Ah Link I’m disappointed in you
Remember that dragon giving 25k for 15% of www.pedigreecattle.ie?
I see they have a total of 17 breeders @ €250 signed up. 
What a dead duck.
Good old Muldoons, they really saw those mug dragons coming a mile off.

In the five months since the show they’ve generated €1500 total revenue by my book as they had 11 lads signed up before the show.
Astute bit of business by the dragons.
Ah farmers are desperate cagey about that kind of thing. ‘Sure I don’t want that fucker knowing my business etc.’ I’d love to see what would happen to your man if he brought his cocky shite into ennis mart someday…

Just watching the video there again, it really is farcical. The mugs were queueing up to invest in this black hole. To think, and i’m fairly sure i’m right here, it’s the only thing in the entire series that any of the dragons invested in.
50k for 30% of fuck all, by god these dragons are some muppets and as for the entrepreneurial talent in the country…if this was the first idea the dragons literally bought into, I weep for the future. The only pity is DJ’s bird wasn’t caught out.
They’d have been better off if they had bought a few acres with entitlements and at least have drawn a few quid off it and sold the meadowing or something. It’s great to see absolute apes caught like that, I hope they never meet the three-card trick man or they’re fucked altogether.
The idea isn’t bad though. I remember ploughing through shit at home a couple of years ago and thinking that something similar could be fairly big in time. At the same I wouldn’t see many of my aul fella’s generation going for it since most of them fear and distrust computers but they’re not your only market. The problem would be getting your early adopters but you can give incentives for that and fuck it, if I thought there were buyers having a look sure 250 quid isn’t a fortune to have a punt. If word got around that sales were being made through it it’d pick up quick enough. I dunno if these lads will make a go of it but someone will in time.
The idea is ok, it’s making money from it is the problem. I think €250 is prohibitive and a waste of time in any case, the key is getting traffic to the site and make it a place where people go to look at cattle online, I don’t think they’ve done that and it’s probably nine months now since that show was recorded. Hosting the site as a loss lead and promoting the classfied cattle ads is the only way I could see it getting going in any shape or form. It’s obvious the pedigree breeders aren’t going for it, in any case their figures were wildly out of line. 15,000 pedigree breeders in the country, I think not. I’d say 14,500 of them are casual ones who don’t go in for all the prefixes and showing and what not.
15000! i watched the show live and coudnt believe that figure , not that i know much about cattle but if there are around 2500 gaa clubs in ireland ,ie one per parish , then there are 6 pedigree cattle breeders per parish in Ireland on average! If you assume there are none in the cities or towns (taking a risk here)then its even more, no chance
This is the worst idea for a website ever
id just like to remind everyone, including myself, that DJs bird is an absolute awful cunt.

Now 18 breeders signed up…this is slow work!
Happily they now sell equipment for showing cattle…can see that doubling turn over to say 1000 for the year…
To think this is what the dragons invested in really shows these gimps up as clueless. Would accounts have to be lodged for this shambles? I could do with a laugh.

I watched these two boys closely last Week as they sold thier wares from a small tented stand at the Ploughing Championships, there wasnt a mention of websites,no laptops or pcs of any kind just a good scattering of the famous plastic sticks that everyones selling,halters,leads,combs,clippers,pour ons etc for the cattle,they had a two beast cow box beside the stand filled with extra supplies incase of a sales surge.
The smaller blondie lad didnt take kindly to a group of half drunk young lads coming over taking the piss out of him over his tv appearance and duly ran the little fuckers,the two boys looked happy eneogh,by the look of them id say the 50k didnt go up thier nose or anything like that,cute boys the two of em.
Typical Irish Dragon’s Den conversation:
Dragon: Have you got it patented?
Contestant: Not yet but it’s patent pending.
Dragon: Does it actually work?
Contestant: This is a prototype but I’m confident it will work.
Dragon: What are the financial projections?
Contestant: I think we’ll sell 2,000 of them in year 1.
Dragons: We’re out.
Contestant: Thank you.
These cunts have only invested about €100k between them in 2 years.
Very true. Unless it’s Sarah Newman.
Contestant: Hello
Sarah Newman: I’m out
It’s actually pitiful that these ‘dragons’ are our leading entrepreneurial minds. One of them isn’t even Irish so we’ve what? four? tin-pot bullshit artists, one of them, the surly one on the far left insists on wearing ridiculous collars on his shirt. They contrived to invest in possibly the very worst idea ever to come before them.
