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. 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.
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.

What does he actually make any money out of now? I've not seen a good business come out of his organisation in years. Certainly his set top boxes aren't setting teh world alight (unless the break I suppose!)

Of course the show wouldn't be much good if people were actually highly competent and not fruitcakes... The whole fun of the show is watching them f**k it up right royally then wonder why selling items they bought for £1 for 80p was a good idea.......
Sounds like my amateur sharedealing tactic

Pretty sure Sky bought his set top box business in the last year or so. They have become the standard Sky install of late. So, I guess you can scratch those off the list also - unless you count the income from selling the business.bradders said:

It annoys me that a contestant can get all the way to the final interview stage and then be rejected on something like age or too much experience. Basically they are being rejected based on something that was true on day 1 and so had no chance from the very start.
But I love the show.

It would be interesting to swap Alan Sugar with one of the Dragons from the Den. Mr Sugar would probably take on the most bizarre inventions,

Do they? I think that they are simply probed and wound up by the interviewer to see how they react to pressure. Fair tactic if you ask me. But I love the show.
