To hate Alan suagr

All his rhetoric about anyone can become rich through hard work boils me. Luck has a lot to o with it, far more than any billionaire would ever admit to. Also talking about everyone should move to China if JC comes in, he's just saying that as most of his money is invested in property and he's currently trying to sell off expensive London property to overseas investors - thus making London even more unaffordable to locals. He's benefitted massively from the housing boom that is causing misery for millions .

Yep. I'm sure he's devastated that you feel like this. YABU to not even spell his name right in your title.

NinaSimoneful · 17/10/2015 08:19

Alan Swagger
Confused
Never heard of him.

ilovesooty · 17/10/2015 08:25

I'm sure he'll lose a lot of sleep over it.

Crinkle77 · 17/10/2015 21:17

I agree OP. I read an interview with Claude Littner last week and he was talking about when he went for his job interview with Alan Sugar. Apparently he didn't look at him or speak to him. He read through his CV and made a few noises then left the room. Then an assistant came in and told him he had that Alan Sugar liked and wanted to offer him the job. How bizarre and rude?

SalemSaberhagen · 17/10/2015 21:20

I like him! Charlie Brooker once said he looked like Mrs Tiggywinkle and once you've seen it, you cannot unsee it.

MrsItsNoworNotatAll · 17/10/2015 21:37

I didn't used to mind him until he made that comment about JC and moving to China then I just thought oh fuck off you old shitbag.

But I'm sure he wouldn't give a toss about what I think of him.

I agree. It takes a lot of luck as well as hard work to become rich.

MrsItsNoworNotatAll · 17/10/2015 21:39

Haha! Salem I just googled Mrs Tiggywinkle, I see what you mean.

SalemSaberhagen · 17/10/2015 21:41

You will always see that now mrs!

MrsItsNoworNotatAll · 17/10/2015 21:48

I will ??

SalemSaberhagen · 17/10/2015 21:52

Yep. Every time you look at Sugar, he will morph into a washer woman hedgehog.

MrsItsNoworNotatAll · 17/10/2015 21:54

Might have to watch the apprentice then Grin

bearleftmonkeyright · 17/10/2015 22:55

This is why I don't watch the Apprentice His cockney barrow boy dun good schtick sticks in my craw. Yanbu.

howtorebuild · 17/10/2015 23:00

Not really my cup of tea either. There are studies showing Steve Jobs and the like have psychopathic tendencies. I would rather be me, than damage others as they do.

He is Rita/Roxy from Eastenders Uncle.

AnemonesCloser · 17/10/2015 23:06

His face is very scrotumy and he's a miserable git.

Muckogy · 17/10/2015 23:33

he's horrid. i can't look at him.
he looks like an overdeveloped hairy ginger biscuit.

OddSocksHighHeels · 18/10/2015 01:51

bearleft that link Shock

I have a mobile phone. A nice shiny iPhone as it happens. It's cut off as I can't afford the bill so I can use wifi and play games that are already downloaded but it's now useless for calls.

I'm also unemployed and homeless. No such as thing as poor though because I have this phone. On a contract. That I can't pay. Righto Alan good to know Hmm

Marue · 18/10/2015 07:33

Lots of homeless people in Africa have mobile

SeaMagic · 18/10/2015 09:45

Mrs I agree, I also thought right-o I hope JC does get in and you fuck off to China.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

wickedwaterwitch · 18/10/2015 09:47

Lol at Mrs Tiggywinkle

SeaMagic · 18/10/2015 09:49

And yes, that article bear linked to Shock

He is really very ignorant isn't he.

bearleftmonkeyright · 18/10/2015 11:06

Oddsocks hope things get better for you soon Flowers. The only thing in that article that really made me laugh was he mentioned the "poor" having microwave ovens! Has he ever seen the inside of a normal person kitchen! My oven has packed in, I can't replace it at the moment but I do have a microwave so that's OK! Bought for the princely sum of £7 in a charity shop Hmm Angry

OddSocksHighHeels · 18/10/2015 11:17

Thank you. I have a phone though so obviously all is good really.

£7 you say? Rolling in it aren't you? Even full price ones don't have to be expensive anyway. A microwave is a strange thing to prove lack of poverty. They probably work out cheaper in terms of bills too I would have thought though not much fun for you having to think up things that can only be cooked in the microwave.

bearleftmonkeyright · 18/10/2015 11:20

I forgot to mention the slow cooker Grin

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 18/10/2015 11:24

Actually he gets really lairy if anyone insults him on Twitter - instead of ignoring them, he comments that he is blocking them, then retweets it - if I were that rich I really wouldn't give a shit.

Crinkle I read that interview too - I thought Claude was rather lovely!

NoArmaniNoPunani · 18/10/2015 11:24

I hope JC does get in and you fuck off to China.

Paul Daniels promised to fuck off if Blair got in. I'm still waiting.
