bad-tempered, moody, startled, contented, weary,
concerned, alarmed, gloomy
In other words

on cloud nine get hot under the collar

tickled pink make a song and dance about it
on top of the world scream blue murder
over the moon in seventh heaven that takes the biscuit!
like a dog with two tails that’s the last straw!
down in the dumps a happy camper
face like a wet weekend bear with sore head
your heart sinks have a bone to pick
lump in your throat come down like a ton of bricks
sinking feeling strike a happy medium
be up in arms about smth happy-go-lucky
fit to be tied paint the town red
go ballistic have time of your life
good riddance walk on air

Alan Michael Sugar is a British businessman, entrepreneur and
media person. With a net worth of £770 million, he was rated
89th in the Sunday Times Rich List of 2011. He is also the
founder of Amstrad which is his largest business venture.

Lord Sugar founded Amstrad in 1968; he chose this name as it

was the acronym of his own name’s initials. The company started
as a wholesaler and importer/exporter but it began selling
consumer electronics. The business expanded and in the 1980s
was listed in the stock exchange. The profits doubled each year
and at its highest, Amstrad’s stock market value had reached £1.2
billion. The 90s however turned out to be a difficult period when
they were delivered business PC’s by Seagate with a
compromised quality. This resulted in consumer dissatisfaction
and consequently a lost reputation which they could never get
back.

Another business venture by Sugar was the purchase of the football club Tottenham Hotspur in 1991.
This journey also turned out to be a rocky one involving few victories and more problems. In 2001,
Lord Sugar sold most of his share in the club to leisure group ENIC, 27% of the club for £22 million
and the remaining shares for £25 million in 2007 thus bringing a close to almost 16 years of
relationship with the football club. He called this time ‘a waste of his life’. After this Sugar entered
many other ventures such as Amsair Executive Aviation which he founded in 1993, ‘Amsprop’ (an
investment firm), ‘Viglen Ltd’ (an IT services provider) which he also chaired till 2009. Some other
companies by Lord Sugar include ‘Amscreen’ that specializes in the sales of advertising space on
digital screens for hospitals, retailers and leisure places. Sugar is also the chairman of Amscreen
which is an IPTV project.
Lord Sugar is also a star in the renowned reality show called ‘The Apprentice’ aired from BBC. The
show started in 2005 with Sugar playing the role that Donald Trump plays in the U.S version of the
show. The winner of this competition gets a job at his company along with a chance to start his own
business in partnership with Sugar and an investment of £250,000 by Sugar himself.
In 2000, Sugar was knighted for his contributions to the world of business. He has been awarded two
honorary Doctorates of Science; by City University in 1988 and Brunel University in 2005.
