And my mystery man, Gary, seems to become visible next week - good job I found out that he existed this week, or I would have looked a total donkey

Re YF: Elle seems a really nice person and Mergim seems brilliant fun. Think we could well be seeing him on a Reality TV show in the future!
I'd say he was great to have around the house, he's a pure messer

Woah steady on with the generalisations
My 21 and 18 year olds are at university completing English and maths degrees, they want to be teachers. As children of a nurse they know what hard work is! But not everyone can get to Uni or even afford to go there, so aren't always the lucky ones in getting well paid jobs. Your kids have done well, and so has our friend's daughter who's at a top Uni and doing so well, and I'm so proud of her. She's worked so hard for years to get to where she is too, and only a young one Sometimes it's the luck of the draw

That's the way it is in this part of the world isn't it star? I despair sometimes at the young kids that leave school. I know that those that were taken on at our local Morrisons were all let go after their 3 month probation purely because they weren't prepared to work at it. Morrisons even paid for literacy lessons for some of them because they came out of school with no skills..

![]() He's only 23 also, there's a very long future ahead of him potentially Nice seeing a guy with a good sense of humour that doesn't take himself too serious |

I don't like April but I can't put my finger on why
![]() I feel the same. I think it's because she's so controlled and contained I can't 'read' her face. |

I don't know, or frankly care, how he ends up doing Business-wise! |

Awww I loved Elle, but no complaints about that sacking. April going was a surprise and Mergims has been a walking firing from the start.

He did say something about wanting to learn, and hope he does. But in business one has to be serious about it, or not bother having one, if messing around is what you want. Some of what he said to LS didn't sound good, and hope he doesn't use that excuse again. But as you say he's only 23, and has a lot to learn, and before he gets to 25 he might have learned some.

Edit. Look at Sam. Clearly intelligent and knowledgeable within his field but hasn't a clue about decisión making because he wants to be nice to everyone. That isn't bright in business. |

I would hope intelligence and learning and hard work would bring success but 'bright' doesn't necessarily go along with that. Is Trump intelligent, bright or both?

Being bright and intelligent is the same thing. He could be bright without having a good education and get on well. Mergim is a hard worker, clearly. But I doubt he is going to make a million at it. His heart is in the right place and I'm sure he will succeed at what he does, but not as an entrepreneur. He's no handyman, he isn't the sharpest tool in the box, he doesn't seem particularly good at sales. It's hard to see where his talent is, other than being good company.
Oh f**** Starting to think about politicians now. |

With a bit of luck Trump will never be a politician.

REALLY surprised Lord Sugar was really warmed to Mergim. And the Keep In Touch line was really interesting. I thought Mergim would be a joker in a BAD way but apparently he was pretty well liked?

Elle was a goner after 10 minutes she didn't have a clue, "you don't have to know the job to manage just make people think you know what you are doing" well that came back to bite her. I liked her though at least she was honest and was well aware of her limitations. Megrim is the type I wouldn't let anywhere near any job I wanted doing, a dodgy dealer, some people have said it was wrong for April to be fired as we haven't seen her since episode one, there lies the reason she stood back far too much, and £10 per hour for three she should have stood back again on this task. Joseph came to the fore and did really well, loved the Dick Dastardly comparison on YF.
