[QuizteamBleakley]

eyes down, look in!

I missed last week. Catch me up while we're waiting? Crap beach gadgets I gather.

Eyes on the prize as violet Beauregarde's mum said.

preseeeeeeennttttttt

Sue, twaz awful, the women were like a coven of witches, except for Joy, who behaved with a bit of dignity and held back from joining in the squabbling. Karen Brady gave them a lecture in the boardroom about representing women in business. Lord Sugar nodded along. Then he fired the only woman who hadn't represented women in business as back-stabbing bitches.... Joy. the least attractive woman I noticed, to be really cynical.

Dh watching the footie and has said he'll turn it over in time for the Apprentice....we'll see.

Clock watching here too.

Ooh yes SPB.

Both were shoite: boys did a variation on a beach towel / pillow / cooler thing and the girls bent some drinking straws together, slung some Cling-film across and called it summat grand when it was, in essence, a book holder.

To add insult to injury, some chemically inbalanced loon from Boots offered to stock it - on the proviso they were sole stockists... Turned it down, the girls! Joy was a bit pathetic throughout and got the boot!

Hope that helps [hgrin]

OMG you are like sooo not allowed to post that on here...

I posted two weeks in a row, merely as a public service announcement to let people know it was starting, and all the telly folk got all uppity and distressed and said it like sooooo wasn't the real thread even though it like got hundreds of posts.

So you are being waaaayyy unreasonable for posting here.

...but YAY - BRING THE ARROGANT APPRENTICE TWATS ON!!!

here too

So many rebels, the tellies will be on to ya

Lovely, thank you both. I saw a clip of the girl's straw thingy, very good [hgrin].

I go to the telly section for XF but the thread here was better in week one. They'll have to come and drag me away....

Ooh, Proud - I kept looking for your Public Service Announcement regarding the start and feel I have stolen your mantle!

I will accept the flamings graciously

My husband was making me look at fecking fireplaces so I got held up.

You are my chosen one QuizteamBleakley, my prodigy, go forth and notify - you have my blessing!!!!

Helllloooooo

They're not early risers are they? Why don't they get up, he rings at 6 every year? Fooooools.

Ah, proud- I can bore on fireplaces for Britain. I have been restoring an antique one all afternoon: Forty quid. Couldn't leave it there, could I?

Business brain, y'see

I bought a lovely one on ebay for 21 punds, victorian bedroom with swirls. Just waiting for a builder to put it in the hole in my house

Me too.

Oooh BOF really? We have been having a stove vs basket stand off for weeks since we got our lovely new house with fireplace. Finally... I won!

Aww, poor sausage.

Shuddup about your bags already Mel/Sue

Found you all - thank goodness for that!

My cast-iron Victorian fireplace. Shall show you it gleaming next week.

Bit bigger than mine bofunder. Very nice.

That is beautiful. If I knew how to do links, I'd post the gorge fire basket I just bought on line and me lovely limestone fireplace.
