Referring to the Apprentice.....

I refer you to exhibit 1 - The Flower Sellers
Dumping stock below wholesale prices well before the sell by date by Miranda was a very bad business decision, which contributed to both running out of stock before the deadline and the Men winning.

- YOUR FIRED !


Exhibit 2 - The Toy Makers
One word only - CRAZY........ The whole nation is going dump the cards, dump the cards.. But no business sense leads to the decisions of going with a junk product against a potentially winning product... Again the men won !

- YOUR FIRED !

So to date - Men appear to be natural at business, whereas women tend not to be as capable.........cripes..... head down.... Surprised


- Wednessday 9pm - BBC 2

DO NOT POST ANY SPOILERS ABOUT FUTURE EPISODES !

I too could not figure out why she went with the stupid cards ?

Her team was telling her they are stupid, but she still went with them ??

I'm not sure about who is going to win, its pretty wide open at the moment.

Just that I agree 100% with the decisions so far on the people who got fired.

Miranda was definetly messing things up , though I think Adele also played it that way by putting her in a losing situation.

I hope Adele goes next, don't like her at all !!!

I had to wait for the REPEAT !!! But all I can say is

Your FIRED !

Your FIRED !

Your FIRED !

Mr. Green

About blooming time Smile

Watching her exit was a laugh a minute... I would not have expected anything other than this from our Adele !!

Also - Did you catch what she said as she walked out the boardroom "bastard" !!!!!!!! Who ? Alan ? Apparently.....

lets face facts.... where going to miss Adele, most of the rest of the crew are pretty bland, so we have got a lot of entertainment out of watching Adele crazy antics......

Go on now Adele, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
’coz you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to break amstrad with a resignation?
Did you think Sugar would crumble?
Did you think Sugar would lay down and die?
Oh no not Sugar, Amstrad will survive
For as long as Sugar knows how to Fire, I know Amstrad will stay alive
Sugars got all the series to live
And Sugars got all his love to give
He’ll survive
He will survive
Hey hey

(He will survive)
Hey hey
(He will survive)
Every day
(He will survive)
Oh yeah


P.S.

And what ? She's a retail manager ? Crikey !! I feel sorry for her employees. "Oi yow - get that f-ing shelf stacked you f-ing useless waste of space..........."

Okay who is going to go this week ?

Most of us are probably inclined towards Mathew

. BUT ....... BUT.... He is such a jammy dodger !! So I am going to take a chance and plop for the Sebastian ! I know he is not the most probable but I am just getting those vibes from watching the show that his days are also numbered....



One things for sure with just 3 women left, the odds of another woman going next week look pretty slim.

Deemy - you mentioned a repeat in an earlier post - pray tell when that's on, please - missed this weeks's episode - already know who got booted - however, would enjoy watching the programme.

Thanks

had to wait for th repeat AGAIN !

Phheeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww !!!!

That was close !

I was watching it and I thought NO .... Mathews going to get away with it AGAIN ! AGAIN !!!! No one can be that lucky !

BUT HE WAS FIRED !!!!!!!!!!!! And deservedly so !
Watching Paul squirm was pretty painful.......... especially when it seemed that mathew would survive, but Alan Sugar did not get to where he is by being thick !

If Paul had been fired, I bet he would have been the first to cry !!!!!!!!

Sorry Corriera

I could not read the post until AFTER I had seen the repeat ...

Its on Saturdays at about 10.50pm


Okay I will recap for you what transpired....

Basically their tasks were to get an artist and their paintings, into an art gallery, then get customers and which team sold the most win !

Mathew again was in the way, wasting time. and this time ended being on the losing time !

Sebastian sold the most so ended being top dog this week.

In the dock was Paul, Mathew and whats her name...the blonde.
She defended herself quote well.
Paul - He only sold 1 painting, and was completely out of his environment, i.e. instead of talking about paintings he was talking about cars to the customers !
Mathew - Well mathew did what mathew does - bugger all but waste time on garbage conversations and hair brained ideas.

In the end it was close, as Paul looked like he was going to be fired but Sugar pointed his beedy finger at mathew and uttered the magical words of Your Fired !

Paul was pretty stuck up when he came close to being fired, I mean the go he had with Sara....

I want him to go next week, because clearly he is a bad loser so will be fun to watch what happens Very Happy
