20 mins in and I'm already squirming at these bunch of utter utter tossers.
I know it's the same every year , that this is a TV show at the end of the day and that this 'mixture' of personalities is allegedly what is required to make entertainment TV - but wouldn't it be refreshing to just see 1 competent person noooo:
Mind you that was probably the person that left before the programme started and maintained his 'reputation' as is rubschin:
-
I can't watch it any more... noooo:
-
Electricity outage, fell on the TV and broke it, LL poked you in the eye with a sharp stick? Popcorn:

Noooo.... noooo:
I just think it has turned into a soap opera full of absolute pathetic shites who are there for 'entertainment' only... perhaps it was always like that...? Shrugs:
-
I don't think that it was BM when it first started it did have novelty value but IMHO did make quite good watching. Have not watched it for a while but did last night, crap IMHO more like Big Brother than The Apprentice, the failure even has a show of their own WTF is all that about? shrugs:
If that lot is the best this country can come up with then we really are going to hell in a hand cart. evil:
-
I have never watched it.

I have never watched it.
I gave it 15 minutes.
Sugar is now and ever has been, an arse.

I met him in a kebab shop opposite White Hart Lane (The Spurs Ground not the street which is somewhere else actually) at about 11.30 one evening. You are right.

Sir Alan Sugar's Apprentice sidekick Margaret Mountford announced she was to leave the show.
Ms Mountford, 56, has quit after five years to concentrate on her academic studies of ancient Egyptian manuscripts.
She was Sir Alan's eyes and ears alongside Nick Hewer, with the pair reporting back to their boss on how contestants did in their tasks.
Margaret said: "I have really enjoyed making The Apprentice and it was a very hard decision to say goodbye.
"But I am working on a PhD in papyrology and I would like to concentrate on finishing this before I need a Zimmer frame to get on the platform to receive it.
A PhD in papyrology - eeek: - she should be well qualified after all the gibberish she has had to decipher noooo:
-
Hasn't Sugar been "elevated" to the peerage? noooo:
-
See Sid Watch ::)
-
Hasn't Sugar been "elevated" to the peerage? noooo:
Indeed...
How can he feature in a TV show while being in the cabinet?
Mind you, they'll have all been kicked out by the time the next series starts - Lord Sugar, you're fired! point:

Margaret Mountford quits The Apprentice!
Apprentice sidekick Margaret Mountford has quit the BBC1 show after five years, according to the papers.
The Sun reports that the 56-year-old, who along with colleague Nick Hewer act as Sir Alan Sugar's "ears and eyes" on the show - is leaving to complete a doctorate on ancient Egyptian manuscripts.
The pair have become hugely popular with viewers for their scathing remarks and withering looks as they watch the candidates stumble through their tasks and report back as to how they fared.
Margaret - who first met Sir Alan when she advised him on his firm Amstrad in the 1980s - will be seen on the show for the last time in Sunday night's final.
She intends to pursue her PHd in Ancient Egyptian Writings.
All this announced whilst Sugar is in negotiation for his peerage with Gordon Brown ~ Coincidence? I doubt it.
Look forward to no more "Apprentice" until labour are kicked out of power.

Not at all ~ I had read the thread and felt that Miss D's point could be used to better effect so reused it AND gave a source.
Perhaps it proves that in posing the question you did you had failed to recognise the significance of Miss D's post.

Sir Alan Sugar has told the BBC he is not joining the government, despite accepting a job from Gordon Brown as "enterprise tsar" in the reshuffle.
The Apprentice star told the BBC: "I wouldn't join the government, I don't see this as a political thing."
He said he was simply acting as an adviser and wanted to help small businesses and entrepreneurs.
Sir Alan told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show that his new post would not affect his role in The Apprentice
That'll be him not joining the Government then noooo: noooo: noooo:
-
You must be the only person I know who watches the Andrew Marr love-in with Nu-Labour on a Sunday ~ have you nothing better to do, like clean the oven or something.

I have obviously been up since daybreak putting the washing through the mangle, baking fresh bread and scouring the doorstep...but I haven't actually turned the TV on yet lol: lol: lol:

The BBC is in talks over Apprentice star Sir Alan Sugar's new government role but says it is determined its impartiality will remain "sacrosanct".
The Tories say having a government business adviser front a business TV show, is "incompatible" with BBC rules.
BBC editorial policy chief David Jordan said they were "in discussions" with him about the job's "precise nature".

Since I seldom watch TV, have never watched the Apprentice and will never vote Labour I really don't give a fat rat's arse what they do about it.

Oh yes ~ ideal medium for watching cricket when I cannot get tickets to the ground.
Also an excellent baby sitter ~ keeps the children away from me for hours and hours.
-
Cricket and fishing ...are the 2 biggest pointless waste of times that you could possibly indulge in noooo:
-
It would be pedantic to point out that "Wastes of time" is better English so I won't.
Cricket ~ Playing; an excellent way of spending a Sunday afternoon. Watching; an even more excellent way of passing the time in idleness.
Fishing ~ Absolutely the best way to spend a warm Sunday (or any other day) Just me, a rod, a river and nature. I can sleep peacefully from breakfast until the pubs open, have a good lunch and return to my slumbers for the afternoon and nobody will bother me because they think I am doing something.
Sometimes I even catch a few trout which make good eating grilled or smoked. Life cannot get better that a river bank with a bottle of something white in the keep-net so that the water passing over it keeps it at just the right temperature. I like a nice bottle of Muscadet personally.

Cricket
Playing - just an excuse to stand around in a field for hours and do sweet sod all , except occasionally try and hit a ball or catch it. The excitement could be dangerous for anyone with a pacemaker noooo:
Watching - just an excuse to get out of the house and drink a crate of Stella with your mates in quiet surroundings noooo:
Fishing
just an excuse to sit on a wet river bank or round a paddling pool sized pond and finally get to wear your PVC boots and read your dirty mags in peace, eat maggots and watch the world go by

Errrrr ~ I have a pacemaker thanks and I never use maggots these days, nor do I need to wear boots. Never take magazines or newspapers to the river bank. They only get blown about and disturb the peace.
You know I was horrified to see a young whippersnapper fishing whilst wearing a Walkman or some such device.
I asked if he was hard of hearing redface: Such a shame to miss all the bird song and the sounds of the river. noooo:

The youth today eh noooo:

Give a man a fish and he'll feed his family for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll spend every day by the river drinking beer.
