Investors

[wensleydale]

Who said anything about putting every penny he owns into his business venture

So in your opinion what do you think the chances of finding an investor are?

Zero.
But that's nothing to do with the drums.

I agree with Mark here (and I can play drums and have owned a set )

If Eskie isnt willing to part with something close to his heart to make this venture a success (what ever that is)...what would he be like with my money....I'm out

I did say.

Don't be daft I'm not saying that, although it would be an option, my argument is quite simple to grasp. May be his beloved drum kit is a bad example.

Guys Guys Guys............can I just the brakes on here?? I was only asking a hypothetical question and I was most certainly not asking for any money. Bit done in by that to be truthful Mark, a tad unneccessary.

As for the drums, crikey me......it's only like any car/motorbike other such thing that you get attached to. That is all I was attempting to articulate.

I have thus far found this site really helpful thus encouraged to ask questions. Not feeling so sure I should have bothered with this one.

As long as it is polite, seemly and decorous. I think the OP was shocked and saddened by the apparent vitriol displayed in response to a valid question. ( And if anyone thinks the word vitriol was too strong, I'm prepared to accept that without a fight, but you get my drift. )

I gave an opinion on the OP 'Investors'. Not everything is rainbows and butterflies, sorry if I offended you, it wasn't my intention

Crikey, bit over dramatic don't you think? Even with words I don't understand.

vitriol - Cruel and bitter criticism - harsh or corrosive in tone - a barrage of acid comments

Like I said, I'm prepared to back down on that word, no problem. It did however illustrate how I reckon the OP must have felt on viewing the first batch of answers.

I'd have hoped we could offer constructive advice in a polite manner.

I'm an old bloke, I rate politeness.
