If he originally was going to let her go, isn't he now going against his gut instincts? Ffs Sugar.

Although now I have heard what she has said in the cab maybe she is just a mentalist. Every year The Apprentice just winds me up even more than before, this whole loving toy boat paper skeleton thing just shows ever more clearly what a sham the whole thing is.

I really would have liked it if Sugar had asked why they bought a proper boat and not a toy one, and they'd said "because I saw what you said about the loving cardboard skeleton last year"

Eh, people are trying too hard to make these things equivalent. The spec last year called for an "anatomically correct" skeleton, and it was this which was outside the rules, not being anal about the material. It's not like he was asking for a sea-worthy dinghy; Claude mentioned on YF that it was within the spec (but just barely) and the only consideration was size. Though granted on this task we never saw the spec sheet, probably because of all the internet lawyers on Twitter that didn't let it go for weeks

It's telling that I preferred sleep over watching this on the night. I caught up with it yesterday. I find these few earlier episode a bit tedious when they fire all the dull ones. I can't even remember the name of the woman that went this week. Ruth is growing on me, she's not as Crazy Cat Lady as I was expecting.

It's weird that they'd fire someone who is in the background in the earlier tasks since often those people win. Also I still can't get over how much Alan hates the internet. Every year it really really winds me up

Not surprising, considering everything Amstrad has produced since ~2000 has been rapidly superseded by better technology available online. Their product catalogue is like a list of depressed markets. Their only current viable business is set top boxes for SkyTV, and even those will soon be replaced (in all likelihood) by web services. I had to smile when lurdshugar whined at her for not supporting a bad product, because it's literally doing that which nearly completely killed his own company. e: read the article, because Alan's actions to support the lovely mailer read like a list of apprentice stunts.

The reason we (being Sky) bought Amstrad is that their business really was just Sky boxes. They're always going to be making the stuff but it isn't even Amstrad brand nowadays. It frustrates me to hear a really good web based idea - like last year with the wedding website - and hear him say it's dumb. If it's not practical getting your hands dirty stuff he just tells them to gently caress off.

Mr Straw said it was the perfect example of how technology could be used to "improve the flow of information and intelligence in a bid to decrease crime" at a Neighbourhood Watch photo opportunity. It made no difference to sales. quote:The IT correspondent for The Independent then incurred Sir Sugar's wrath when he wrote, one year on from the launch, that the emailer had been a failure. Sir Sugar sent an email to all emailer owners, ranting about the piece and providing the journalist's email address. Unfortunately it backfired because many of the received emails concerned the terrible problems they were having with the device. That is priceless. If I remember correctly there were lots of shots of the ridiculous things in early series of The Apprentice, so presumably he was still trying to flog them in the middle of the 2000s
