    You should be a contestant. It would make good telly.

    My brother (who went on million dollar trader) was thinking of applying - discussed it with producers of MDT who said he would be rejected as being too clever.

      I'm probably not young enough to pass the first screening.

      But yes it would make good telly. At one time it would have depended on how much they let me drink in the Green Room, and I would have given a good verbal case, but nothing as spectacular as even a nudge on his shoulder.

      But nowadays I think I'd stand up to his bullying better

      He should have acted dumb at the audition, then pulled out the stops when on the show.

      Just saying like.

            I applied for the 2nd series of the Apprentice but didn't get anywhere. Also not sure what happened to my application for Countdown either.

                  Nope there's another more appropriate word in there. Six letters.

                      AtW - you recently had a large external investment - what was the % of equity given for that?

                      How does having an external shareholder affect your day to day operations and influence your strategic planning?
