...shag list.

I am going to call this early doors.

1) Kate Evans
2) Kimberley Davis
3) Paula Jones
4) Yasmina Siadatan
5) Debra Barr

Has it started yet? I thought it was this coming Weds, hope I've not missed one.

never watched this before but will give it a go this series

I am going by the head-shots I can see on the BBC website.

To be honest with you #1 is easy.

What I am tryign to say here is that one of them migh be particularly voluptuous, which could boost her up the rankings very quickly.

The Apprentice always gets me excited, it's just a shame that they spend more time getting people who are going to make good tv, over those that are good at business. Although saying that, it wouldn't be Television if it was loads of people discussing good marketing practices and making all the tasks look simple.

I'll definitely be watching.

Makes me laugh, as they are so dumb almost all of the time. Will be easy to spot the finalists after the first coupleof episodes, as i'm sure he has a certain set of criteria judging by the people from his companies i've met

Well up for this, best program on television, trashy reality TV but respectable as well. I've got my office sweepstake set up, so we must all be pulling for Majid to win.

Oh, and in my role of public service perv-casting, I present to you full body shots of the various Apprentices:

Yasmina is shaping up to be a dark horse behind the two K's

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/gallery/2009/mar/17/apprentice?picture=344709932 (http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/gallery/2009/mar/17/apprentice?picture=344709932)

I bet that old fucker at the front doesn't win.

Lets see if one of them comes up with the brilliant idea of turning a professional football club with a football ground into a non league club with a 3 sided stadium that wrap things up by X Mas every year. .

Nobody would pay to see that.

Oh.

why is that girl wearing a tie in man style??

I heart the apprentice anyway! wooo

Seemed like more of a producer firing; keep the dark hair bitchy in one for better telly.

Classic scrappy first episode where you don't really know what the people are like yet. I'm looking forward to next weeks one though. I like the catering ones, their stupid errors tend to be more obvious.

7 blokes clean 18 cars, disgraceful. I could cut n shut 10 and sell 5.

That was poor, as per fb, all done for the cameras now judging by that. Surely someone with a brain and a tv would have worked out how to get to near the end, this  lot seem to want to be "famous"

I'm pretty sure you could say the same thing about the last few years. It's part of the fun of the Apprentice over something like Big Brother that they all have themselves bigged up over similar things, knock them all down at once.

this programme makes me hate people more than i already do.

The biggest problem I have with the Apprentice is the candidates are, generally speaking, of low calibre.  Sralen would like us to believe that the cream of the cream are battling it out for a top job...but instead you find yourself thinking 'I could do better than that.'  Not really sure what the programme is trying to prove.

Entertaining though.  The team leader survived, it seems, because she was marginally less shit than the other girl.  I doubt she'll be there much longer.

What makes it such great viewing is that Sir Alan Sugar makes them all look like dicks.

they do a pretty good job without his help too.

I don't think it's trying to be particularly profound, just another bit of trashy (but tolerable) entertainment really. In the first series I seem to remember some vaguely credible candidates, but since then they have really gone for the viewing figures, which is a shame really as I think it'd do almost as well with a higher calibre of contestants.

Thank god that hound is gone. Her face annoyed me immediately and she had nothing about her.

Best lines of the episode, "Oh, very feng shue", and "I'm the king of the world!" - cock.

The bloke on You're Fired! afterwards was ace. Comedian chap.

I thought last nights was pretty poor ton be honest..... Glad that she went though. She irritated me.

Oh joy, another shitty reality program to avoid....

Yeah, me too - think it may have been the "bulldog chewing a wasp" facial expression, but I was very relieved she went!

I feel for you fella, it's really difficult not switching your TV over to BBC1 at 9 o'clock on a Wednesday evening!!  Or not clicking on a thread which is titled with the name of the programme you're trying to avoid.

Good luck with that Bo!!

;-)

This was my feeling... i don't think i could have watched another hour of her face.

that geordie bloke is a twat. He needs to go very quickly.

Yeah but it's not just avoiding the TV is it? It's rammed down your throat from all angles, radio etc - even on the news FFS.

OK, I know I can just not flip to BBC1 on Weds at 9, or bbc 2 at 10, or listen to radio 1 - ever 'til it's finished, and not read threads about it that appear in my "unread posts since lat visit" but I have to click into it to remove it from the list cos I am sad like that...Apart from that it's easy to avoid ;-)

hee hee!!

You answered your own question!

We all know this is just TV, it's not about who is the best, it's about who is entertaining.  If they put all the best candidates in they'd all be competent and the program would be dull.

That woman deserved to get fired. Her mouth was upside down

I'm glad I won't have to watch that mutt faced cow for 11 weeks. Mind you, that Deb woman was a right two faced cow. First impression is that the boys are miles better.

Kate looks like a hotter version of Heather Mills. I would.

Brummie though wasn't she?

She looked like one of all saints to me

God I was nearly violently ill several times during last nights episode - that Philip man in trying to be funny and a bit like David Brent-ness  ming

James to win. Because of this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2GvvBT8MCc

The team leaders are consistantly being fired for bringing the wrong people into the boardroom.

The second one of them bring Nooral back into the boardroom, he will be fired! Easily the worst candidate Ive ever seen on the show!

Agreed. He's such a weak candidate, and it annoyed me immensely the week he won as project leader...

Although hating Ben to start with, the way he tore into the ginger lass last week won me over. Great entertainment.

This has to be the most cringe worthy nails down the blackboard series ever.

Fuck me it's better than the Office but they should really make a serious version at some point.

Competent people completing the tasks ina  professional, reasoned manner. It'll never be a ratings winner.

I'm getting a bit on a thing for Yasmina. I think i might love her. I also think i have a thing for sour faced women for some unknown reason.

Never watched it, am I missing something?  ???

Go and watch episode 7 on the iPlayer. I fucking love it, although i'd like more "business" and nudity.

I'm surprised I haven't watched it. The thought of a no nonsense professional like Sir Alan putting certain wannabes in their place  ???  :doh:

The thing is, they're beyond wannabes, they're clueless idiots in 90% of cases. When finding faces for the show, they clearly don't find the cream of English business talent, but the cream of the idiots who read about business on the back of a fag packet. The participants then spend time trying to complicate simplicity in an amusingly implausible manner all in the vain hope of making a few quid and eventually winning a job with Sir Alan.

Thank fuck that gobshite twatting bellend Phillip has gone, the northern fucking clown. God I hate cunts like him in all walks off life.

Barry Scott sir, I'll fight you for Yasmina, she's mint.... miles better than the horse faced brummie bit, gone right off her.

I'd quite like to see Ben win still, a bit of a lairy fucker too but probably the most appropriate for an "apprentice" position. I reckon he'll win cos Sir Al "see's a bit of himself in him" to use a cliche.

Hear, hear.  I've been wondering for some time what the point of this series is when the key personality trait required for getting on the show in the first place seems to be mediocrity.

In other news, I'm quite sure I saw the chinless loon dynamic go-getter who delivered the best line in the series so far on a train out of Waterloo earlier this week.  ('How do I feel?!  I feel like I did when my cat died.'  Spoken like a true future captain of industry.)  I was tempted to offer my belated condolences.

Have you seen that gunt (cunt gut) on her?

She looks like she has half an eiderdown in her pants.

That Philip bloke lost the plot after the fitness task and the whole pants man thing was a joke. He deserved to go.

euuuuuuuuuuuuuuuwww thats the mingest thing Ive ever made a mental picture of in my head  :-X

My old faltmate an gym instructor taught me the delights of the female gunt.  God rest her dirty Canadian soul.

I personally have a thing for Debra ... god knows why!

Because you have appalling taste in women?

Ben seems to have learnt his lesson as well - he shut the fuck up at long last.

Ben's a cunt, and no i haven't seen Yasmina's gunt. (Love the word though!)

DMR: Fight on Blud.

Yasminas hair is lanker that Lillian Nalis's and that is saying something

That ming with the glasses is proper jealous of the blond pretty one isnt she!?

That so called blonde pretty one is just £200 quids worth of makeup and dodgy teeth, no thanks, Yasmina and her two mates are far better.

really??? you set your sites too low ;)

Nah i dont like fake tan and blonde highlights.

I think I would actually die if I didnt apply a bit of fake tan every day

Kate is far and away the hottest apprentice. Although i do like Mona's eyes a lot, she's kinda cute.

Hello Alex - sorry I didnt reply to your text again - I was in the Travelpodge with dad and he was getting in a stress cause my phone kept going off xxx

You were podging your dad?

No you silly boy

You could have been referring to your sugar daddy to be fair

you havent fixed that one up for me yet! Im still youth teamin! ;)

Think nothing of it, i forgot i had even seen you such was my level of inebriation... :)

oh thanks then! ;)

Does lairy mean something different in Swindon? If someone says lairy fucker I think of the Dennis Pennis football fan sketch, not Ben the wet twat from the Apprentice.

Doubt Sir Alan sees much of himself in him, I think he'll go soon for completely bottling it when he was project manager in the last task - Narul saved him by being the shittest contestant since the whole show began.


True but there's virtually no competition; Debra's face is massive and empty, Lorraine is a lost cause, and Yasmina looks like a gremlin. Mona's alright. Kate is almost ruined by the massive teeth and as I've not sampled a ginger before I think I'd rather have Paula out of the ones in this series.

Apaprently Nick, sir Al's side kick, went to the same school as me- commonweal.

Who told you that?

His dad who lives in Old Town said he "went away to school"

http://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/news/758161.dad_tells_of_pride_in_sir_alans_right_hand_man/

JFW=JPC

If he wound his neck in that Ben tart would do alright although I think he's passed redemption with the scholarship claptrap.

I made it up. His neice is mates with my missus mates.

Yes, hope he gets to the interview stage - that could be entertaining.

hahaha gays.

hahaha it looks like a bad school project.

The posters that the gay team came up with were simply atrocious! hahaha

"this looks like it has been produced by a bunch of looneys" - golden.

ahhah looneys

Is this on now? Is it shown again on a BBC +1 style of channel in 10 minutes?

I thought trying to appeal to the gay community was a good idea for a rebranding. But their posters looking like a school project.  :soapy tit wank:

Mona was such a ming - she deserved to go

when she spoke to that man/women thing in the bar it made a bit of sick come into my mouth

He fired the wrong one though. If one had to go for that task (& there was a case for firing all 3), it should have been Moaner Mona. She was the one who cocked uip the poster & the leaflet, & was the Project Manager.

eh? I dont understand that? Mona did get fired?

Mona did go I think. Don't you mean Deborah?

Mona talked to that trans person like they were a thing not a person. It was the height of awkwardness. I think she should have stayed in London she obviously wasn't down with the whole concept and said so from the start.

Sorry, yeah I ment Debra.

Mona shouldn't have gone, but as I don't think she could have won it, so why not keep that Deborah cow in it, for more entertaining veiwing?

I like that bloke who was also bought back to the boardroom, although his name is beyond me currently. James?

How on earth was she supposed to speak to her/him/it.
I thought the funniest line was when asked how to describe the gender she replied "In Transit"

I don't think ANY of the losing team last night can or will win it. They were all bloody useless.

Yea James, maybe not the best of a bad bunch but out of all of the candidates he's probably the only one you could imagine working with people and not winding them up.

That Yasminda one is ok but the rest I would lush out my bowels with let alone employ.

Next week I think it'll be Monoeyebrow glasses woman or moonfaced whinger to go.

In an ideal world i'd like to see Ben and Deborah on the final show, only to lose. I really dislike those two.

Make James Team Leader and see what happens...

This is the best bollox on telly...i love it...

NB - Pulling special on BBC 3 Sunday night!!!

I'm sure James said something along the lines of "I'm inclined for the gay..."

I was in stitches, nobody in his team picked up on it.

Its so damn watchable and amusing.I don't really like to watch it on the wednesday night though as it overstimulates me and i can't get to sleep  :-[

I think a lady will win it this year.The lads left in are a bit weak,Ben is a knob,Suge doesn't like James and Howard is quiet.Kate or Yasmina to win,hopefully Yasmina!!

pretty sure they will make it, they are typical Sugar employees, lorraine however, doesnt matter if she made a million quid, she wont wont win, doesn't fit the mould. I've got a feeling he favours horsey face, he didnt give her any greif last night or even ask her why she would stay.

He probably did, it just didn't make the final cut.

I think Kate will win

I agree. she's the only one who has anything about her. Ben might make the final two. Yasminda is a cert to go soon, she's too devisive.

Totally the opposite for me.

Kate wont win. She wont because Sugar has a real thing about women having maternity leave/pay. He wont forget about how she was with Philip, went to jelly and totally useless. Subsequently she was indenial about it, not just in the boardroom but back in the flat when she told Lorraine to 'never call into question her professionalism', which was an absolute outrage, she blatently took it easy with Philip and Ben. Sugar will see straight through all that. And she wears strange female suits/ties that look rediculous, like a WPC stripper outfit. But still the second best female candidate.

Yasmina is by far the best, the most intelligent and calculating of all the candidates, she will win. Margaret (the aide) likes Lorraine, but Sugar thinks she's got a screw loose and hates her 'I told you so attitude'. Debra is a monster and not nearly as good as she thinks she is. Those Margate posters were utter shite and she knows it. Good at dominating people, but low on talent.

Ben has already accepted he isnt going to win. He is a broken man. But actually he's much better now he's chilled out a bit. James is my dark horse, Sugar is very hard on him, but hard on him like he is his own son. Secretly he likes James, who is amiable and a steady performer. As is Howard, the most articulate candidate. Havnt got a clue why he got slagged off so much on the your fired show? I think Sugar see's Howard as someone he could rely on. Someone who would never embaress him, whereas James probably would.

Yasmina to win. Howard in the final.

I think Howard will probably win now, seems to be improving alot although I liked him from the very first one when he was the only fucker who had half an idea how to organise a car wash.

I hope Kate doesn't win, she's a cunt. Ben's growing on me and I still think Sir Al likes him.

After OF posted this earlier in the thread, i liked James a lot more. He would be a fucking liability though, but would be great fun after lunch time drinking games.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2GvvBT8MCc

Yasmina for me too, closely followed by Howard


Howard needs to be more forceful in the leadership dept

The piss clip still gets me. Suggs is pretty fond of James I think, in last nights episode when he had him in the boardroom he began the chat with James as though he was already his employee. They do love to spring a surprise and give mixed messages though.


Naah, she's not that bright. Clearly calculating from that catering task where she served up a load of shit to the suits.

Howard is looking pretty wet so far. Is he a gayer?

If Yasmina gets the boot she can always rent out her face as a cheese grater,,,,

If Yasmina makes another error as monumental as the soap one she'll be out.

Yeaterday I was confusing Yasmina with Lorraine. I hence concede she could win, & apologise to Yasmina for thinking she was Lorraine, who would fit in nicely for a career in the Zimbawee secret police

ummm how can you say that he wont pick Kate because he wont pick a women cause of maternity pay etc then say he will pick Yasmina?

Because the likelyhood of Yasmina ending up with a bellyfull of arms and legs is remote to say the least

 :D

Ain't there a thing called paternity pay now, which would mean it would cost the same for an employer ? You can generally see a woman is pregnant & therefore have some advance warning. It's not so easy to detect if a bloke is going to be a dad.

Could do if she moved to Oxford !?

I could if I moved to Oxford Phil !

And...her skin is so bad her mum got free garlic bread when she was born....

No

I meant that I would not give it one even with Si's

I think he does tend to prefer men over women. The last time he picked a female winner was that girl who was against ruth badger and she left his company after just a few months or something and made him look a fool.

Phil S - Paternity pay is not nearly as much as maternity pay. Maternity leave is a much longer period of time.

Because Yasmina hasnt been unprofessional enough to have a relationship with another contestant. Putting personal life before career = Allan Sugar Alarm bells.

Agree that she is on thin ice because of the soap, but then they all are really? At least the soap was a mistake rather than a fault with her. 

Hahaha mate, just logged on and already in stitches :)

Was expecting to see posts about last nights apprentice in this thread..

I'm surprised its all girls left apart from James. That was well funny him saying "I feel like Hugh Hefner" :soapy tit wank:. To be fair I think there have been some very strong female candidates this year. Stronger than previous years.

Unless his cv is a tissue of lies, james will be a shoe in for the final 2, and changed my opinion and think Lorraine will be the other, for no other reason than the other 3 are miserable power mad cows most of the time.

I reckon that the final two will be made up from James, Lorraine, Yasmina, Deborah or Blondie.

Sir Alan has taken a bit of a liking to Lorraine I think and Margaret loves her. I think she has been the dark horse of the contest.

God I detest that women - I liked Howard!! boooo

Don't you mean dark moose ?

I still like Debra ... yes she can wind people up but shes a natural leader and Id employ her! (if i had a multi million pound business anyway!)

I do too.  Backstabbing cow that she is?
Yasmina is the best candidate left IMHO
James is too much like a lump of turd, & would have gone yesterday if Howard hadn't.
Kate will get to the final, & Sugar likes blondes

If Howard didn't go yesterday then Kate or Lorraine would have.

Might be ten weeks slow on this, but what's the deal with Howard's nose? Looked like he's got 3 nostrils

 :wtf: what??

I've noticed his eyes look weird but then a few of theirs do. Is this cos several of them wear blue contacts or is it the cameras or something?

I'd still do Yasmina. Yeah, i know she's a bit rough, but something about her makes me want to try it out.

I hope James wins, purely because he's the sort of bloke that you could have a roit with at work. Clearly not a serious bone in his body and would appear the polar opposite of what Sugar is after, which is why it's be Kool (with a K).

Sir Alan's eye twinkles when he's talking to James and I have to agree unless he's wiped his arse with his CV post bean curry he's a cert for the final.

For me it’s a hard call out of the witches of Eastwick who will get fired next week.  

Out of the remaining four based on past experience I think Debra is far to abrasive and will wind-up the interviewers in all sorts of ways.  Abrasive face and gunt modeller Yasmina will get savaged by the harder questions while mono-brow swinger Lorraine (lower lips also like a quiche) is far too uneasy on the eye and to slow thinking for old Alan’s liking.

That leaves gold-fish face who seems to have not tarred her copybook like the others while not really doing owt much either.

Try running your helmet up a cheese grater and you'll get the same effect as her face.

To be fair if she lost the gunt and acne she'd wouldn't be half way to bad.

Oh yeah... gunt. :D

Margaret said that AS was wrong this week & that Lorraine should have gone

Thats true... I saw that on You're Fired too (twice :eek:).

This has turned into the 'Arse' show.

James - funny but looks like an Ass
Debra - mouth like an arse
Lorraine - appeared out of an arse and had glasses put on in an attempt to look cool.
Yasmina - Iranian for 'covet my arse'
Kate - if she speaks out of the corner of her mouth with any further she'll be talking out the back of her arse.
Sir AS - Hairy arse.

Just my opinion of course. No offence.

There's Debra underwear modelling photos!  :eek:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1188328/Hard-nosed-Apprentice-star-Debra-lingerie-shoot-hoped-propel-modelling-stardom.html

You've gotta say she looks good, no? According to that artical shes had a boob job from an A to a D cup.

To be honest I have wondered with how driven\aggressive she is how she might be a bit interesting in bed.  :D

Fair play Spy can't deny she scrubs up OK in her undies but I suspect there were some good looking female SS guards around during the war, but being hot in their pants alone wouldn't exactly endear one to them !

The have all the photos in Heat this week - she is pulling that same face in every bloody photo!

What face would you prefer JFW??

Amused - Angry - Bossy - Hystrical - Sad.....?

I would go for a grimace!

I just find her a bit sour faced - she pulls that same face all the way through the apprentice

She'd be ok if I had a paper bag to hand

Yeah I learnt about it due ot the heat article but its not the exact same photos is it?

JESUS GOD NO !!!! Lorraine in her dung hampers................oh please no !!

What with the swinging I'd wager Lorraine is a Neopolitan knickers type of a girl.

Chocolate
Strawberry
Creamy vanilla

milk milk strawberryade round the corner.......etc  :eek:

It was Nick who saved Lorraine this time. Sugar was about to pull the trigger.

Howard's sacking was very harsh.

It was Debra who brought herself back into contention. She was outstanding (working on her own).

If you haven't done so already give googling 'cassetboy Vs The bloody Apprentice' a go......funny !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxi6QDwQyLU

My cock and bollocks stretch from tower bridge, right up to Westminster.

That is very good........£200 worth of fish!

Certainly the best episode of any series is the interview stage. On now.

Just realised that Kate really fucks me off and i want her to win least. I want Debra to win, can't believe she's only 23.

haha spunky mcspunk spunk.

Fuck sake that's shit. I wanted James and Debra in the final and i get these two cunts in it. I hate Kate.

Gutted for that Debra one and old Jimbo but to be fair it looked like he really fooked up tonight.  That Kate one is nowt but a wind-up goldfish.

I hope Yasmina has got someone there that can perform basic business calculations because she hasn't got a fucking clue.

With the low level of business relevance in the tasks she's probably better off being able to breed goldfish. or something.

errmmmm


gross ?

net ??

You mean like the task where she fucked up the soap ingedients figures and tried to pass the buck onto someone else. Comedy gold, at least the final should be entertaining.

I thought the reaction to the "I have your accounts here" opening gambit from baldy fella was pretty shocking.

Lesser of two evils mind.

That said would anyone take make their old dear take a 2nd mortgage out on her hoooose on a restaurant?  Sheer lunacy.

The interview episode is easily the best one,I didn't really like any of them though so im not that arsed who made the final.

I liked James

If only for his CV job description

CURRENT ROLE


"I put a leash on people who spunk money up the wall"


classic !

Better was "you wont have to reinvent the wheel", "just need to fix a couple of spokes" He is a funny guy.

He is funny without meaning to be. If James was running for the South West Euro election I would have voted for him.

I felt really sorry for her when he started belittling her on turnover etc. Her face was like some poor child that had just been shouted at, albeit with skin like a pumice stone. I don't know how anyone could be such a cunt to someone who has done them no harm. [drama queen] I was actually verging on being upset at that.[/drama queen]

Shame James went, he was the character. Debra was a cunt, but for some unknown reason kinda wanted to see her win it after the interviews. Kate's dull and Yasmina, once the love of my life, will hopefully now win.

is it bad if i say who wins it in this post. to be faur i have known for an aboslute age, and am sorry for not mentioning earlier. i will say after this mahoosivre gap. please dont read if you don't want to find out


I'm going to get you dave -fb.

I scrolled down trying to scroll past your message and glimpsed who wins.  :(


I thought it should have been Debra and Kate in the final.

Yeah. I did the same. Dave you twat.

I'm pretty sure he was pissed last night and may be making it up though.

Can you delete it Ben cos I'm tempted to have a peek!

I already edited it out of his post.

Sexual

I'm not 100% sure but would he have been able to know for ages? Isn't the final filmed only a week or a few days before broadcast or something?

I thought it was all filmed back in September? Although it might be different for the final.

I decided i really quite want to do it with Debra. Is that bad?

Look at this from wikipedia...  :D


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apprentice_(UK_TV_series)#Interviews_and_Grand_Finale

Ahh. so it is all filmed in september, but sir alan doesn't decide until now.

I just looked it up too :).

Yeah. Or at the least he doesn't make his decision known.

Also, take note people - The final is THIS SUNDAY AT 9PM not next wednesday.

It was rescheduled to avoid clashing with football.

I reckon if it was from behind you could more than get away with it.

gutted for Debra who ive championed all the way on this thread

having said that she will earn some other person a load of dosh instead ...

If i was on that Apprentice i would fail at this stage for sure.
I would'ny let that slap headed cunt talk to me like that, what a prick.

He could have had 2 really explosive candidates to choose from, both big characters, if he had gone for Debra and Yasmina.

Really hope goody two shoes doesnt win. You'd like to think that after 12 weeks, someone who isnt 1st class honours/straight A student wouldn't win, and someone with a bit of personality would.

Like Lorriane i obviously have a gift of some sort  ;)

Come on Yas!

Claude was ace! He ripped them apart.

Whoever tipped Yasmina a while back has Deborah-like intuition, I hope she wins out of the two.

Final is tonight in case anyone has forgotten (like me up until an hour ago)

I think it's because of the England game on Wednesday.

Not because of the game,i thought ITV have it on weds. I think its so theres 5 days of media before the weekend,compared to the two that would have been.

No it was because of the game. All England games get very high ratings and the apprentice final gets high ratings too so BBC didn't want to clash with that and reduce their audience (altho some people probably missed it thinking it was Wednesday).

Out of the 2 of them I'm glad Yasmina won.

I've always wondered what happens to the good ideas they come up with through the series. The exercise ball thing looked good and could be a major success, I liked the Choco Electric idea as well. I reckon Sir Alan should have the winner pick one of the ideas developed through the series and turn it in to a real product as their first role.

But it's a real job they've got.  I don't see Amstrad (or whatever it is called now) entering the confectionery, beauty product or home exercise market anytime soon.

The beauty bar or whatever it was did actually get launched in Lush I remember seeing the ad's for it

Good point, but major fail I'm afraid. The first winner's (Timothy Campbell) first job at Amstrad was as head of their newly formed health and beauty division.

Plus Alan Sugar doesn't care where he makes money from, he'll launch any kind of product if he thinks there is a profit in it. Don't forget that it doesn't take much effort either, design the product and then outsource the manufacturing and distribution. Job done.

He doesn't own Amstrad any more either, he sold it to Sky.

Thankyou for the correction. What do you do for a career?

Most of my day is spent pissing people off by endlessly correcting errors in forum postings.

The rest of the time I do stuff with computers.

I put a leash on people who spunk money up the wall.

Thanks. It's all clear to me now :)
