Absolutely fking ridiculous. The skeleton met the criteria as written. They delivered. Sugar fked up but isn't big enough to admit it. What a wk3r.

Program has lost credibility now for me because Sugar obviously didn't want the sh!t team to lose (I wonder why).

I know it's only a tv show but this has made me very angry.

Ah, right. Felipe just admitted he loved Arsenal...

It's the best part. Philippe(sp?) is coming across very well too.

Exactly that Stuart - think of it like a client specification. It will be CLEAR what the spirit of the instruction is, that is to say, what they expect the finished product to be. IMHO that flat pack is not what was specified.

If you come back from that trying to defend yourself on technicalities, you may get away from it in front of the judge, but your client sure as st won't come back.

Everyone has been whinging about how the show isn't about business...well there is a fairly solid business principal right there.
So if they asked for a wardrobe and went to IKEA and brought it still flat packed would that be OK?
If that met the written spec then yes, of course.

If you work for a medical establishment and you are asked to buy an anatomical skeleton, you buy a full size bone job (no sniggering at the back).
If you work for a business working with small children and you are asked to buy an anatomical skeleton, you buy a cardboard one to not scare the kids.

He's one of the few contestants who doesn't come across as a total slime ball.

I think Lord Sugar has already decided who will win. In my opinion I think Roisin is the chosen one.

Reminds me of Spinal Tap and the model of Stonehenge.
They got what they asked for, but not what they wanted...

The fifty quid diamond won't have done her chances any harm, either: Shuggs will be able to use it as a reason for her to win.

So, I'm watching this a few hours behind and I'm going to come out on the side that says Lord Suggs didn't have the humility to say, "Yep chap's you've put one over on me there, well done!" and laugh. Came across as a knob IMO in this episode. biggrin

I agree with Lord Sugar, how is it anatomically correct if it is made of paper (i.e. it's flat not 3D). Bones aren't flat...

Yeah, Sugar's not big enough to admit that they got one over on his poor specification of requirements - happens in my line of work all the time. Totally unfair and can't now be bothered with what's become a pretty tired format ...

A blue eyed, blonde Irish women won it last year, you think he's starting a collection?

Bones aren't made of plastic either biggrin Unless either team had turned up with a proper old bone skeleton (there used to be one in a junk shop near me in Ealing wearing a skull cap, used to freak me out as a little kid) neither are any more or less accurate.

I would interpret anatomically correct as meaning it is the correct form/shape.

I did search for the official meaning, but it just brings up stuff about sex dolls....

There was a bit where Roisin broke into a slight trot as she crossed a road - I'd dearly love to see that as a repeating gif.....

Shug HATES lawyers.

Felipe never stood a chance.

Since the start of the show I've always imagined Felipe pulling out a pistol and putting it on the table and saying (in his Columbian accent) "Right. We will sort this the Columbian way."
