It's a very Sugary birthday shopping spree- The Apprentice week 5 (or is it 6?)

[dillite]

See you all there at 9. That's if I don't fall asleep before then playing blackjack.

Rhod still looks ill. Perhaphs it's just a case of his lifestyle & age catching up with him I can empathise

Ah well, same time, same place my lovelies 😊

Good night to everyone!

aw I liked Ross, he was a proper comedian, very confident.
sajay was such a Wide boy, del boy type, so immature.
is that how Lord Sugar likes his apprentices?

Anyone who can't find a spurs scarf in a shop in London deserves to be fired on the spot.

I could have bought a scarf in bloody Leeds and got it to them quicker and cheaper than that!!!

To be fair to them they probably left the scarf out til the end because it wasn't a 'high ticket item'. In one team's case they then bought one for £30 and didn't get the bricks or the Amstrad!

Sack em all.

I’m rapidly going off this series, I just didn’t care last night at all and I’ve always really enjoyed that task.
None of them are coming across as people I would want to work with or for (or even acknowledge in the street) and I hate to say it but especially the women. The blokes just seem a bit dim but the constant bickering, bitching and ganging up on the women’s team is tedious to watch.
God knows how Karen and Claude put up with actually having to spend time with them.

I only caught the second half and got very confused. Someone was bleating 'I'm a Londoner...' not appeared to have no clue about where to go for guaranteed Jewish stuff or a footie scarf (every tourist tat shop and stall down oxfords street!)

I suspect it's all a set up. They can't all be that daft can they? It's just not funny anymore!

Any they all fight with each other! I wouldn't employ any of them on that basis.

I would have liked to know the rules.
some of the things were soooo daft.

wrt bricks, apart from big chain diy stores they close early. if you only ever go to b&q or similar you might not kniw

I quite like the concept of the task - that they actually have to survive on wits and teamwork without the internet and would like to see teenagers do this!

I think they have got worse at this year on year as the candidates have become the Google generation.

That said, I'm not sure of its direct relevance to modern business. But then many of the tasks have a timeframe that is ridiculous : plan an event in one day, for example!

Well Ross was a pompous, arrogant, patronising genius. I bet he would be unbearable to work with. Tonight was a disaster but I do think Sarjan (sp?) did ok for making decisions. I really don't know if I like Elizabeth or not , she is a bit Marmite, isn't she?

Watching on iplayer - did the bakery bloke initially say £500 for the scarf, or did I mishear that???

No, I think he did too.

It's not worth that much but that scarf was worth more than they paid for it. I hope Sugar did something with these things and doesn't just chuck them.
