Dragons’ Den last night was an absolute barnstormer. It was literally The Wire of Dragon’s Den, with a bit of Family Guy thrown in for a laugh. I had a feeling it would be, which is why I gave Lucy £20 and asked her to go out for a drink somewhere while it was on.
I had a double agenda here, as I wanted Anya to watch the show with me so she could learn about how business really works. She loved it! Although there was confusion when Deborah Meaden said: “The fact that the washing line doesn’t spin has never entered anyone’s vocabulary ever.” It sent poor Anya rifling through her vocabulary notes for confirmation!
However, the old cockney man gave me an idea for a present for Lucy (she’s still waiting on a proper birthday present, but she knows I’ve been busy in the Office Depot.)…
Other notes:
- I must admit I felt a little uneasy when I saw Theo and Duncan arguing over a daft mini-submarine.
£1.5m for a toy boat? Not on my (business) watch!
- When the camera does that sweeping shot I feel like I’m combing Peter Jones’ hair and it’s beautiful. That man is 7ft 3 of cash.
- The wheelie bin fridge. What do you do if you’re having an item delivered to your house but you’re not in? Simple. Get your girlfriend to skip her Anatomy exam for you. If she loves you, she’ll do it.
Overall, a brilliant episode. I give it 5/5!
Anya slept in the kitchen again, and Lucy wasn’t too pleased when she came back later on. I explained to Lucy that it was a bit out of order to have a go at me when I’d given her £20 to go out on her own for the night. Anyway, she saw my side and offered Anya her side of our bed for the night. Anya refused, probably because (drunk) Lucy is very loud when she makes these offers to the women I have staying over.
Big day tomorrow, and I’ve got some big news in the pipeline, so stay tuned to my Twitter @GaryVine
