Chris 'F**k of you fat t**t'
Is it me, or did Bates get off way too lightly for this?
Stuart may annoy people, and was perhaps incredibly overzealous in trying to actively steal clients away from the other team, but Chris had no call in the world to call Stuart those names. Personally, I think thats an on the spot firing myself. |

I suspect they all use quite fruity language at times, as does Lordalun.
Anyway Stubags is a little podgy and is more than a little of a Tw*t too.

I doubt if it's the first time in his life Stuart (the brand) Baggs has been called such names to be honest.

If it was in a high level meeting with potential clients then Lord Sugar wouldn't be very happy at all.
If it were on a street where a business rival was aggressively (in a playground kind of way) trying to steal your customers and run down your product then I figure he'd be fine with it. |

With the whole of Trafalgar Square to pitch in Stuart HAD to choose the square metre where Chris was!
Stu is a bit short on ethics, and as for trying to escalate it to a fight, well that was UberChav on show. |

It did feel that Bates was after a physical fight the way he talked to Stuart, i'd have reacted the same.
Stuart had just as much right to pitch in the lucrative trafalgar square as the other team did. They also didnt have the tour companys backing. |

I was more surprised the BBC didn't bleep out the f words. They used to bleep out all the f words on the Jonathan Ross chat show and that was broadcast at 10:40 pm!

With Ross it'd have to be all or none else people would ask why was xxx censored and not yyy? Plus, of course, the nations' moral guardians (AKA The Daily Wail) were watching Wossy like a hawk for any transgressions |

I think the f words make it a little more dramatic and realistic. I'm sure Sugar has said a few naughty words during the making of the show.

He didn't comment on his skin colour. He didn't comment on his age. He didn't comment on his gender. He didn't comment on his faith (or lack of). He didn't comment on any disabilities. He's a bit podgy, and he was acting like an arse. Life would be ruddy boring if you were not allowed to insult people when they deserved it. |

I think it is covered by 'fair comment' - Baggs was asking for some reaction, surely?
The better response would be 'I can lose weight, but you'll always be a f--kwit*' * or insult of your choice |

I agree I thought that was a rather nasty comment, don't like Chris anymore.

![]() Its always been one of my favourite insults, as memorably used by John Cooper-Clarke in his seminal work of the same name: "What kind of creature bore you? Was it some kind of bat? They can't think of a good word for you, but I can - Tw*t!" |

Many in fact probably wouldn't even ** it. I consider it a rather mild word and I don't think I would (though I have in this instance just for you ). It's almost a friendly word you can use to insult friends ![]() I know what it means but it's like not saying bottom because it could also means ars*h*le. |

Ah, but that's entirely down to individual outlook, most people have a personalised scale of swearing and whilst you might place tw** high on your list it might be very low down on others.

I dont particularly get offended by these words, quite the contrary. But I certainly wouldnt use it in the environment that Chris did. |

Bottom? That's an actual word, Tw*t is a slang term, known only for its rude and insulting meaning. Yeah, you can call your friends that, but in the tone that Chris said it, it certainly wasnt friendly.
![]() Robert Browning famously misused the term in his 1841 poem "Pippa Passes", believing it to be an item of nun's clothing: Then owls and bats Cowls and tw*ts Monks and nuns in a cloister's moods Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry Its meaning was in reality the same then as now, Browning's misconception probably having arisen from a line in a 1660 satirical poem, Vanity of Vanities: They talk't of his having a Cardinalls Hat They'd send him as soon an Old Nuns Tw*t Another mistaken (or perhaps dialectal) use was in Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 1870 science fiction novel The Coming Race, in an apparent satire on Darwin: Among the pithy sayings which, according to tradition, the philosopher bequeathed to posterity in rhythmical form and sententious brevity, this is notably recorded: "Humble yourselves, my descendants; the father of your race was a 'Tw*t' (tadpole): exalt yourselves, my descendants, for it was the same Divine Thought which created your father that develops itself in exalting you." It also has other meanings these days such as: As a derogatory insult, a pejorative meaning a fool, synonymous with the word twit - 'You are a real tw*t and a half' To hit something (or someone) hard or violently - 'Let's get out there and tw*t it!'
