The Apprentice thread

[David Lee's Hair]

It's a TV show. The idea is to recruit a mix of people that ensures conflict.

It's all getting a bit cliched. Last years obnoxious prick was Tre. This time it's Raef. He won't win, but he'll be around long enough to establish himself as the baddie and keep people tuning in.

Sadly, the sort of management bollocks these idiots spout is commonplace in British companies, especially the large ones. You can have great fun inventing terms and seeing how quickly they are adopted. Try it, if you have the misfortune to work with some of these nobbers.

A better watch is The Apprentice - You're fired, on BBC2 just after the main programme, where they take the piss out of everyone.

Can we take this off the record Warty?

Or perhaps touch base about it later on?

Girls' team ultra management bullshit tonight, stuffed by the fellas. Excellent work nicking all the irons in the morning, but they shouldn't have given them back..

Ginger horror show should have gone easily, she was absolutely crap. £5000 for one job was a stroke of genius.

[Athers]

and 15 quid to wash dry and iron all that horrible fish stained stuff.

Shows that you can sell all the shit you like in their normal jobs but they don't know the price of milk.

PS yes ginger should've gone, horrible manager.

[ratbert]

The ginger woman made Katie from last year look like Mother Theresa. I felt sorry for the posh blonde in the silly clothes, getting verbally mauled like that.

And how bad are the blokes? It's like watching a Gillette commercial.

Anyone else prefer the new series over the England game? OK I tell a lie I don't have Sky, but there's a lad from Bolton I seem to recognise from school in it this year.

"It's a bloody shambles."

''You messed up big time, your product is a shambles... Your fired! ''

Sir Sugar definitely messed up last night didn't he!

I'd like to see any leader or project manager handling a situation by saying "be quiet", "shut up" and "don't talk" over and over and over......

Gary Megson's half time team talks?

Thought they were more along the lines of "Get your boots back on you're going back out there".....

[spraggy]

I couldn't believe it when on returning the clothes to the woman's house, the girls withheld the customer's change, and said they were keeping it as a tip. If I'd been the customer, I'd have told them to shove it. Instead she said - 'well, I'll give you a couple of pounds...'

I don't usually watch this, but saw a bit of it last night. If I was Sir Alan I would not employ any of them blokes to work for me, absolute muppets with no idea of business what-so-ever. Had me in stiches when they said we'll charge £4.95 for the soup because that is what it costs in Guilford!!

[Athers]

Going to bloody Tesco for all their food! Can't believe that wasn't mentioned in the boardroom. In fact it probably was but they'll have cut it out.

Cracking idea with the pizzas as well!

[perfan]

I can't believe that Michael admitted that he only had half a pizza because they had run out. You would at least use your initiative and say that half a pizza was the normal portion size. What a fool. I actually disagreed with who got fired, I thought the foolish head chef should have got the boot cos of his numerical incompetence. Dear me, the guy's a bank manager and he can't do simple multiplications I hate to think how he would cope with something he's not trained in (the ingredients in a carbonara for example).

[spraggy]

Quote of the night: "Sorry sir, we've run out of whole pizzas, that's why you've only got half...."

What the feck, Tre knew what he was talking about. Raef is the same. No fecking about. Granted, they're arrogant shits, but still, it's down to business skill at the end of the day. Hence Tre getting to the last 5, and why Raef will probs make an impact too.
