Apprentice - Met Office sacks Katie!!

[GloriaMumble]

link to BBC story here

leaves her time to launch her media career though...

no, most 40 year olds look a lot better! but just that her 80's tastes seemed to imply she was a young woman in the 80's rather than a small child!!! she must've done GSCE's in the 90's for goodness sake!

31!!!!!!!!! I thought she was in her 40s too.
This woman is proof that SAHMs have it good - can you imagine having to work with someone like that? At least if she was at your toddler group you could avoid her.

You're right though, she looks much older than 31.

She has a 'veneer' about her - polished and hard, no softness or vulnerabilty despite the Diana eye olympics she does.

No, worse at toddler group. At least you can be horrid about work colleagues with other work colleagues, but it would be a bit frowned upon to gossip about Katie behind her back at toddlers. And if she invited me round to play, I would feel like I had to say yes.

yes, tiny, i wondered what made her so hard. unquiet dad - where is the story about her ex that she sold to a sunday paper?

She has a good figure though - exercises a lot apparantly.

Funniest line on the ex's biography is the one all alone between two paragraphs

One thing is certain; he will never be truly alone.

Be afraid. Be very afraid ....

So basically Kate was a civil servant . I though she worked for a high powered business empire.

So what next for her then ?
What exactly is a Global Brand Consultant ?

So she does...

Those picture were so naff - I'm surprised they weren't soft focus too

I didn't think that Sir Alan would have much truck with allowing someone to bow out and save face.

Must say that I loved the Apprentice - You're Fired when Katie was being hammered by the Scottish woman. Now SHE had style and made Katie look like a tosser. Yahoooo!!!

Is the Met Office in Exeter then?

Met Office moved to Exeter a few years ago . I think its on the road leading out of Exeter to the airport.

Excuse me, does anyone else think that she is much older than 31 - look at the state of her skin - she looks like an old crocodile-skin handbag.

She's very badly made up. The Apprentice, like any "reality" TV is of course scripted, and engineered, so I rather suspect that she pissed off the make up girls big time. One hell of a revenge if so.

Let's face it, she's a horse. Feed her some hay someone... when she's stopped rolling about in it

Damn - I missed the why I fired them programme a few nights ago. Does anyone know if it is to be repeated? Or if it is possible to watch it online? What exactly did Siralan say about Katie - did he actually say he would have changed his mind and fired her if she hadn't quit herself?

She will probably be found posing topless in a magazine or paper soon - whoops, I forgot, she has already done that hasn't she?!

I betr they didn't predict that cold front comming in!

31?! JEez, she looks at least 40!

That Gawd awful white suit she kept wearing in the boardroom

As someone who interviews people as part of his job, I simply would not even have considered her for a job of any kind at all anywhere.

She is entirely dishonest. I know that a little economy with the truth is expedient in business, but the fact is that most lapses in integrity aren't again competitors or customers but against the employer, simply because that's often the easiest target.

I'm 44 and even I was shocked to find that I'm older than that horse!
And you wouldn't catch me in a John Travolta white suit either.

Her poor kids ....

You def need a certain amount of 'confidence' to wear that white suit. Esp with the large quantities of blue eye shadow and red lippy.

ooooo aren't we horrible.....

I've said it once, I've said it twice and now I'll say it again.

Empty barrels make more noise.

Just remember the tasks that really exploited her skill set:

The art gallery
Promoting a new logo for trainers (for a brand consultant that was right up her steeet)
Selling to the French.

She was completely and utterly incompetent and with the French task demonstrated that she lacked objectivity. She talks big, she acts big but when the time comes, she does not deliver.

It would not surprise me if her ex-husband paid her a £90k salary because that was the divorce settlement.
