I didnt realise the Apprentice final is tonight.

[kittya]

That was quick!! My plans for a wine free early night have gone right out the window!

I hope Stella wins.

sometimes I listen to music - though these days have learnt to enjoy the silence (silence in my house growing up meant that my parents had had a row, my dad was in a foul mood and we had to walk round on egg shells - otherwise the radio was always on). Silences was uncomfortable - but in the last year or so I've started to enjoy it

although - tonight there is a very annoying "tapping" noise coming from my iron - it's definitely not been left plugged in but is going tap tap tap tap tap reallu quickly and pissing me off.........means I have to get off my arse and either use it or put it in the cupboard

Yeah - he did some daft things - but nothing that warrants this level of 'avoidance'

Baroq - sounds lovely :) I'm pleased it went pretty well for DS and he didn't end up in a DUO with his little brother :)

hmm I don't know - I think there was probably some dodgy dealing going on with "his" company/his dad's company and it was all a bit shifty. I reckon they uncovered something that got the wind up LS's sails...

No - DS3 was far too tried to try and sing - he fell asleep part way into the service and I found myself sitting at the front of a packed church waving my arms frantically at the person he was sitting next to in order to alert them to the fact he was about to keel over as he was falling asleep sitting bolt upright surrounded by wooden chairs

The ones who were missing tonight were Raleigh (the one who left as his brother had been injured in Afghanistan), Stuart, Joy, Sandeesh, Laura and the chap who was fired the first week, whose name I can't remember.

Dan was fired the frst week.

with regard to when the final is filmed: it must have been filmed last year as you will notice that (a)stella's hair is much longer now and even more noteable was Melissa's hair - she still had the severe blonde cut in the final but on 'you're fired' a few weeks ago (and indeed last night) it had grown out and was brown. Now both of them could have had hair extensions but i doubt it in Melissa's case as her hair was reeeeally short.

I reckon they filmed two endings last year and Stella/Chris worked for SurAlan during the intervening time and the winning episode was shown this weekend.

I backed Stella from day one, but she disappointed me when she started slagging off Chris in the boardroom - the final is about you selling yourself not making the opposition look crap.

Good result though

It wasn't very fair how the stuart/ liz thing was brought up but Liz cam out lovely with no one mentioning how she'd slated Stella. There's something about Stuart I like now, god knows why.

i like stella hard upbringing,self made,chutzpah in abundance

I like what Stella said about Stuart - he's very endearing but sometimes you just want to slap him about a bit.

Have any of you seen this? Made up from clips from previous years, but still very funny!

hope that works

yes yes the cassette boy montage is fab

Why did no-one, but No. One. pick up on the fact that that bottle WAS NOT A PRISM, IT WAS A PYRAMID!!!!!!!

As you were...

clam my DH explained to me in a great level of detail that Chris had failed to even make the correct bottle shape to match the name of his product hehehe

Most primary school kids would have noticed as well. But none of the overrated esteemed contestants or judges on this progamme.

I was annoyed by that too!

..if that bottle is taller than other bottles, it might not fit on supermarket shelves.

and Stela wasn't really nsaty about her competition, she just said he didn't have the same passion (hardly all that negative in terms of boardroom blather)

i liked the look of Urbon, and would have wanted to try it. though it does look a bit vinegary - that sort of bottle is alos used for dessrt wines and some othr rare liquers.

i think the 'Prism' botle is a H&S issue!

agree Amanda Platell = a woman hating woman.

even Jack Dee looked uncomfortable!

hooray Clam DH and I (both of us geeky scientists with pedantic tendencies) were bellowing that at the TV. Also, prisms wouldn't reflect all sides of your personality (or whatever), they would refract it. Baaah

LMAO acebaby

I saw lots of people pointing out that fact on FB! Was quite surprised that Dara didn't mention it to Chris (Dara has a degree in Physics I think) in "You're Hired!" afterwards.

Nobody pointed out to Sugar that Cautious Carol is alliteration, not a rhyme either. Double bah.

Yes, DW and I were trying and failing to think up a female rhyming equivalent of "Steady Eddie", which was what he was after...
