Apprentice 2009

[Mr Trophy]

Starts soon does it not.....?

[Legend83]

Saw first teaser for it on BBC1 last night.

Not sure if I am looking forward to it or not - every series goes by and I seem to spend more time turning to the missus and saying "a fking monkey could have done that better".

[10 Pence Short]

Tired format, now. And you just know that whoever gets the none-job will soon realise that's exactly what it is and be doing something else within 12 months.

Alan Sugar is a sad, publicity seeking Labourphile who never ever gets bored of reminding people that he once upon a time had to do some graft.

This is the bit I never get.

Surely anybody with half a business brain would realise that AS is a washed-up has-been who made big-money when computers were the size of tanks, and appears to have not moved with the times. The guy is a dinosaur.

Damn, I meant to apply for this!

[TonyHetherington]

what happened to last year's winner? (I forget who it was!)

[FlossyThePig]

Think "Celebrity Apprentice" and "Children in Need"

Apart from calling in sick on his first day, I forget.

Maybe this will jog your memory...

Anyone with half a business brain is already in a job or is running their own business. The people who audition for this show are people who have already failed. To be fair would the show be as good (and it's not great) if all of the people on it were competent?

It's going to be arse anyway. A group of upthemselves 'sales' reps begging Sir Alan not to fire them. It's getting old now...

[TonyHetherington]

That was him - Lee!!!! Thanks chaps, that did indeed do it

You'd think more publicity would go along with the winner - they do seem to fade into obscurity!

[sebo]

Apparently Lee is working with Sir Alan on marketing campaign for The Guardian.

...and driving around Beaconsfield in a rather tasty Audi S5 too, last weekend.

LOL not subtle but to the point, maybe could have done with staring out the Essex swear words though.

[E31Shrew]

Wait for a plethora of massive tie knots and gelled bonces.

[minerva]

I though that the last but one winner left his employ after a few months. The job they ended up with was rubbish and they realised that the only thing that AS has done which has earned any money at all in the last 10 years is this (rather poor) show.
