Also who writes this stuff for the BBC, Here is the lads profile from the boro;

Rocky Andrews (surely that a wind up)
Qualifications: n/a
Age: 21
Career: Sandwich Chain Owner Hometown: North Yorkshire


Rocky is this year's youngest candidate and already earns more than the salary on offer from Sir Alan. He left school at 16 to pursue a football career with Middlesbrough United but was soon diagnosed with arthritis making it impossible to continue. A year later, Rocky decided to start up a lucrative sandwich business which now includes 15 shops across the North East of England.

He says: "For me business is about hard-work, attention to detail, being willing to make mistakes and learning from these mistakes."

I really struggle to take the programme seriously. Alan Sugar has created a great 'character' for himself, and is good at acting the part.

But all that pulling a face like his piles are playing up gets right on my tits. If he cracks a smile is he worried his cock will fall off?

There's a load of programmes like this at the moment including Dragons Den and Masterchef, where you have self-appointed 'experts' being downright cruel to the contestants in the name of entertainment.

When did people think it was normal to see people acting like arses in this way?

Was it when Weakest Link started? Simon Cowell working his ticket on X Factor? I'm baffled by it all.

The funniest thing is..............I suspect most of these foookers wouldnt make it in the real world. When I say make it............I am not referring to them being famous, or becoming extremely rich.

Can you imagine having any of these cretins in your work place. They all remind me of travelling salesmen. And theres nowt worse than a salesman that REALLY loves his job, and his product.

We get them all the time. We are interviewing hundreds of firms at the moment, and its foookin hillarious when they send a sales rep rather than someone that actually knows the business.

Thats all this bunch of tosspots ever are. Go getters my arse. Shit, if I ahd to work with the bunch of arselicking pillocks, I think I would murder them. Literally.

what does your firm do, as i work for a biologicals company, I know what you mean though I have met people in this field that you ask them a simple question about chemistry and or what compounds things are they look at you blankly then tell you a fact about the product that doesnt have any relevance to your question.

anyone watch it last night was funny as hell, jet washing a car with the door open, the girls trying to charge £200 to clean three hummers was a right joke. Also who spents £190 on cleaning equipment for cars 4 buckets some shampoo chamis leathers wax and elbow greese top price would be 50-60 quid.

Loads of muppets, lets see how rocky gets on next week they are doing food so it should be right up his street with fatso's I bet he is the project manager and looses badly

I know it is and dont view these as celebs at all just watch it for humour value at so called clever buisness people acting like muppets with no common sence. Also was nothing else on tv, my sony reader was broke last night so couldnt read a book and sick of playing pro evo on xbox.

It was on last night. It was followed by a programme on whoever was shite enough to be kicked out first. This same person was then interviewed on the news outlets this morning, and there will be a repeat of both the original show and the post mortum tonight. I imagine there will have been decent coverage in the tabloids too. We can now look forward to exclusive interviews with this "star".

I repeat, it's a TV show. confised






i'd much rather read about that than Jade G, and! i'd rather watch it than watch her croak it..

It's just the X Factor for wannabe baby entrepeneurs and this format appeals to their greed and their sad ego ...it's neither entertainment nor education, it's just more of the same old tosh with a thin veneer of respectabilty .... the X Factor for accountants.
