I particularly liked the 3 chaps who were looking for �0.5m funding for a

mainstream, b2c & b2b renting & selling property web service, who stated in

a presentation to a VC that the �0.5m seed financing would fund all the

online and offline marketing / development."


The programme was unbelievably cynical and a tad off-balance for my liking.


However, that said, managing to find 3 idiots like those guys was a

producers' dream - they blatantly didn't know their arses from their elbows.

Unfortunately presenting daft nutters like that pretty well sabotages

everybody else's hopes. I almost fell off my chair when they mentioned how

much they wanted, and how much they were going to give away for it. Every

VC's dream - or would be if they had had even the remotest potential, which

they didn't seem to.


anyway in summary, to quote derek & clive "laugh? i nearly sh*t"


But hey ho, it's bash new media month - wait til July and the journos will

have stopped recycling each others' stories again and get back to finding

some real news.


apologies to decent journos - used to be a crap student hack meself. . .


over & out,
