I like his idea, needs to be priced cheaper though.

High heels thingies -- sold 53,000 this year already -- looks like a good idea -- I'm in.
Remote-controlled lightbulbs -- a cut-down version of apps like hive for central heating, I suppose. I guess this is what Peter was saying, but I reckon there is a big market for the cheaper but less comprehensive app. Yes, he can't take on Philips but he probably doesn't have to.

Leggings -- I'm out.
High vis horsey kit -- not really sure why she needed a dragon -- so it's a fair investment -- so I'm in.
Sandwich boards -- too much talk about ethics so it was not really clear what the investment was.
Photo booths -- embarrassing they did not know Peter Jones owned one of their main competitors (Jessops). Surely the downside is servicing: if they need staff to refill paper, chemicals and so on, then presumably there will be a scale problem when they are no longer small enough to do it themselves but not big enough to justify a whole team of agents. Maybe it will be like printers: send out a pack for the venue to do it. I'm out. Three dragons though, and they went for the one wanting the highest stake.

I could see myself investing in her for about 2 minutes 
Peter's pink tie and pink handkerchief in his breast pocket is getting on my thruppenies.
he hasnt even sold one brush but values his company at over 1.4m even thou he is very convincing.
Hot birds IS? The tall one is decidedly a plain Jane, the little one has a bit of potential though I suppose.
She is plain but grows on you.
Men are lazy & hate shopping, great idea this imo.

No idea what happened there, it is a decent idea and I can't stand going shopping. Apologies for my laptop having a fit.
No idea why I get these multi posts. Well done the girls, good deal for both sides.
slips, would you like to invest in my laptop company? 
Yep, I'll give you a tenner for 49% of the company. We got a deal?
or stop watch porn on your laptop or maybe a plastic cover could help ?
Can't be that I.S. I de-spooged the keyboard only an hour ago. It just freaks out every now and then.
Reckon that swayed their chances ^
The curly blonde dragon is friends with her parents and they will have all known it was Paul Young's daughter. As clever and rich as the dragons are, sycophancy is a big sway.
P.s surely Paul must have enough to sort the two of them out himself

It's the dragon's expertise they're after.
That made my day. I could have been sarcastic and said.....'Gee, you think'.

I don't think your post was strange whatsoever. You were just stating the obvious.
Try and keep up stewarty my first post was in reply to this:

Get it now?

Well, I didn't watch the programme but I get your drift having seen that post.
What about the bleedin UFO`s, bickering like old women

Shoe sole stickers -- surely wants the Dragons to make phone calls to retailers rather than invest.
Food -- nice idea but I'm not sure online is the best way to sell time-critical food; might do better as a broker to existing retailers but that would hurt margins.
Coffins -- seemed like a good idea and I'm surprised no-one invested.
Electric toothbrushes -- not sure the tootbrush will ever be a fashion item but would be handy so family members can tell theirs apart -- maybe this is a better market for the shoe sole sticker woman's idea. Guy was not the first to misunderstand the difference between the value of a company now and what it might be worth in 3 years time once it has some profit and assets.
Chess sets -- no. Niche market of people paying for exclusivity.
Clothes -- 4 dragons on offer; 2 accepted.

Hilary is complaining about £1200 a day fee they receive.
£1,200 is not a lot for some of them, although I don't suppose they do it for the money.
The one that always surprises me is Top Gear, where genuine class A celebrities give up their time for "star in a reasonably-priced car". I don't know how long it takes but it must be the best part of a day for training with the Stig and the lap, and then later the interview with Jeremy Clarkson.

^ Top Gear being the most widely watched factual television programme in the world might have something to do with it.
Great publicity for any celeb.

Blimey O'Reily I don't feel too bad about my Letitia confession after reading that.

This is what makes the Den though, weird & wacky
He is going to spray the Somalians pirates with chilli powder
They won`t see it with chilli powder in their mince pies
anyone with the authority to use a cloud of knock out powder wouldn't be in need of this unless i've missed something.
Tis hard to break into, I was a buyer of frozen food ice cream.
Catching up on iplayer
Boat anti-pirate thingy -- £195,000 is too rich for the Dragons, so it does not really matter how efficient his chemical warfare drones are.
Mobile phone pen -- WTF?
Ice cream -- it was pretty clear she wants a dragon's name and little black book rather than cash. I'll look out for it in Waitrose.
Bike noise -- I'm surprised none of them invested but I hope for the sake of the queen's peace the children's version does not take off round my way.
Babies' boxes -- what's the point?
Shopping app -- if he's just raised £475,000 why does he need another £75,000 from a dragon? Interesting to watch Peter talk himself into making an offer, and then to see it turned down.

It wasn't really a proper offer from Peter for the app. He valued the whole company at £375k knowing the fella had sold part of the business for £475k. There was no way the bloke could accept unless he wasn't confident in his app.
The Dragons don't always get it right

I miss it when it`s not on.
Id love to go on with my special golf ball which can`t be lost.

If it goes into deep rough/grass it beeps loudly.
If you hit the water it floats back to the top and swims back to the edge.
If the light is bad it flashes a bright light.

Back on tomorrow night but it may well be the last in the series. (Said 12/12 on the TV guide. Have there really been 12 in this series?)
Trouble with the Unlost golf Ball is after several rounds it will become battered and look rather used.
That Evan Davis is an ugly looking bugger.
He looks like an emaciated gargoyle.
Or the Master in Salem's Lot.

Actually he bears a striking resemblance to The Master when you weigh him up.

Gay is he?
He must be sucking something the right way then to get on as well as he has with his looks.
