*Phone rings*

#1: Hello?

#2: Hello?

#1: Where are you?

#2: Yes.

#1: Where is your question?

#2: Where am I?

#1: Is your phone ringing?

#2: Hello?

#1: Where are we?

#2: Hello?

#1: Are you there?


Goes on like this for 2 hours.

What a pity Edna binned this great idea before it got off the ground.

Yes that could have been great.

Maybe someone could explain to Susan what the app does.

Increases your phone bill by several hundred pounds a month with no apparent benefit.

Well, you'd always know that you're you and I'm me - which is nice

Knowing you're you and I'm me is very important. You do need an app to keep track of things like that.

That would explain it, I don't have a mobile and often spend hours thinking I'm you and you're me - it's very confusing

Not a clue. It was hilarious though - as was Dara's version on YF.

It was basically an app which allowed you to phone a friend to let them know you were talking to them by telephone. By speaking, you could then exchange information via your voice. When you were finished, you could hang up.

The future has arrived.

And I never know where I am until someone rings me up and gets me to Google my location.

Some of these posts are very funny but does anyone have an unsarcastic response as to what the hell her idea was supposed to be? Her pitch to her team mates was almost as bad as Vincent's to the buyers or Edna's to the convention. Lots of awful pitching this week...

They could have called it `knowing you, knowing me ah ah` if that`s not copyrighted

Short answer is…no!! I thought she was describing something like Bump? She spoke a lot but said little, and I suspect by the looks on peoples' faces, even what was edited out was more of the same!

Seriously does no one realise this was AWFULLY edited? She clearly *did* have an idea, which she sort of explained, but they totally edited that part out and instead edited in really awkward and uncomfortable faces, possibly only half of which were to do with Susan's app.

Nobody, I mean nobody, in their right mind, would defend so dearly an *idea* if they had literally said nothing for 30 full seconds up till then. They would realise they're getting nowhere and move on. She clearly had explained something.

I will concede that obviously she could have been a bit more succinct, whatever it was.

I feel a bit sorry for her on this one though.

I think she was trying to invent Google, Twitter and Facebook along with a telephone that not only is mobile but can access the Internet.

Sadly, as far as I'm aware, all these thing have already been invented.

But fair play to her, at least she was blue-skying it and stepping up to the plate for that window of opportunity.

I'm looking forward to her other inventions. Perhaps a printed paper sheet that has news on it, which can be sold daily... or a radio that also shows moving pictures... or a clock so small that you can strap it to your wrist...
